Funding Hate: EU’s €202M Gift to PA and UNRWA

How much money does it take to buy silence after a massacre? To reward the institutions that gave ideological cover to the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust?

On June 23, 2025, the European Commission publicly announced the transfer of €202 million to the Palestinian Authority (PA) and UNRWA.

Yes, you read that right, Times of Israel reader, the EU just rewarded the infrastructure of antisemitic terror. €150 million will go directly to the PA and €52 million to UNRWA as part of a €1.6 billion aid package planned through 2027. The justification? Supporting salaries for “teachers,” “civil servants,” and “healthcare workers.” As if the job title cancels out the ideology.

To the very architects and enablers of the ideology that fueled the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Let that fact breathe. Pause and reread it.

The same Palestinian Authority that glorifies “martyrs,” pays stipends to terrorists’ families, and teaches that Jews are evil and deserving of violence. The same UNRWA that employed individuals who participated in the October 7 slaughter that ran schools with maps erasing Israel and curricula promoting jihad.

This is not humanitarian aid.
This is premeditated moral collapse.
And the EU knows it.

Not vaguely. Not hypothetically. Not “some troubling reports.” It knows because its own member states confirmed it. It knows because Western intelligence verified it. It knows because Hamas filmed its atrocities, and still, Brussels pressed send.

Ideological blood money

This is the diplomatic theater of the absurd.

We’re told the funds are conditional, tied to “reforms.” Reforms? In what universe? The money flows anyway because the EU isn’t paying for peace. It’s paying to preserve the illusion of peace. A diplomatic mirage. A stage-set for European self-congratulation.

The True Price: Jewish Lives

1.6 billion euros to sustain a grievance, to subsidize the machinery of hatred. This is about placating the mob and keeping Arab rage at bay by throwing Israel under the bus. No euphemism, no diplomatic press release, no invocation of “human rights” can cover this. We see it. The numbers are real.

Every euro sent to UNRWA or the PA is a euro spent normalizing hatred. Every wire transfer is a quiet endorsement of erasure.

This is enabling. This is empowering. This is Europe putting its signature at the bottom of the next death notice.

But Michael, they say, what about the children in Gaza? They need schools. They need teachers. They need a future. To which I say: Yes. Absolutely. But not like this. Not under the flags of terror. Not in classrooms where the names of murderers are etched into playground walls. Not with teachers who preach hate and maps that pretend Israel doesn’t exist. If you teach a child that Jews are less than human, you are not educating them. You are preparing them for war, for martyrdom, for murder. If you wire money to the institutions that do this, you are not aiding the innocent. You are arming their indoctrinators. And if you do this after October 7, knowing all of it, then you are no longer ignorant. You are complicit.

So, no, I will not stay silent. I will not swallow this blood-wrapped lie.
Because real education builds bridges, what the EU just funded burns them.

About the Author
Michael Kuenne works as a journalist on antisemitism, extremism, and rising threats to Jewish life. His reporting continually sheds light on the dangers that come from within radical ideologies and institutional complicity, and where Western democracies have failed in confronting the new rise of Jew-hatred with the due urgency it does call for. With hard-hitting commentary and muckraking reporting, Kuenne exposed how the antisemitic narratives shape policymaking, dictate public discourse, and fuel hate toward Israel. His writings have appeared in a number of international media outlets, including The Times of Israel Blogs. Kuenne has become a voice heard for blunt advocacy in regard to Israel's right to self-defense, critiquing ill-conceived humanitarian policies serving only to empower terror, while demanding a moral clarity which seems beyond most Western leaders. With a deep commitment to historical truth, he has covered the resurgence of Holocaust distortion in political rhetoric, the dangerous normalization of antisemitic conspiracies in mainstream culture, and false equivalencies drawn between Israel's actions and the crimes of its enemies. His reporting dismantles sanitized language that whitens the record of extremism and insists on calling out antisemitism-whether from the far right, the far left, or Islamist movements, without fear or hesitation.
