16. who choose not to do so should be financially compensated for loss or destruction of property.

15. Having said that, the UN has already stated from the beginning, in Resolution 194, and as reiterated over the years, that the Palestinian refugees have the right to return to their homes and live in peace with their neighbours as soon as possible and that those

14. UNRWA does not have a mandate to try to find a permanent solution for the Palestinians, but was formed to provide services while waiting for a permanent solution or the possibility of return.

13. And UNHCR has a responsibility to try to find permanent solutions for refugees through either repatriation, i.e. returning to their homes, or permanent resettlement in a new homeland (but with the refugee's own consent).

12. with a slightly different mandate, and with a fatal difference for the Palestinians. UNHCR is responsible for refugees all over the world, except for the Palestinian refugees who fall under UNRWA's mandate in the five regions where UNRWA operates.

11. UNRWA does not run these camps themselves since it is not part of their mandate, but is responsible for healthcare, education and other social services. The problem is that at the same time as UNRWA is being formed, the UN is also working on another refugee agency, UNHCR,

10. There are 58 Palestinian refugee camps, eight of which are in Gaza, and in total about a quarter of the Palestinian refugees live in these camps, often in difficult social and economic conditions.

9. Today, UNRWA is responsible for approximately 6 million Palestinian refugees, of whom a quarter, 1.5 million, are in Gaza. The rest are in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. And it is only Palestinians living in these areas who are covered by UNRWA's assistance.

8. After the Six-Day War in 1967, the mandate was expanded to also include Palestinians who were forced to flee during these conflicts, and agreements were signed with the State of Israel on access to the refugee camps that were now under military occupation in Gaza and the West Bank.

7. The mandate of UNRWA, which has changed somewhat over time, has primarily been to provide Palestinian refugees with healthcare, education and various social services, although initially there was a greater focus on the distribution of food and other humanitarian efforts.

6. UNRWA was formed by a young UN in 1949 in the wake of the persecutions of the spring of 1948 and the war of 1948-49 when more than ¾ of all Palestinians, a total of over 700,000, were forced to flee. Called by Palestinians the Nakba or the catastrophe.

5. as they do not want the money to be "stuck in an account and unable to reach the field". But the government does not seem to have understood UNRWA's role and mandate at all. Or they understand but choose to throw millions of Palestinians under the bus.

4. And Minister of Development Cooperation Dousa also says that Israel's upcoming legislation, which in practice prohibits UNRWA from operating in Gaza and the West Bank and which violates international law and Israel's commitments to the UN, has influenced the decision

3. It is simply UNRWA that most organisations have been forced to rely on, as they have about 13,000 local employees in Gaza with extensive experience in reaching out to those in need even during conflict.

2. The government refers to doubling humanitarian support for Gaza by providing funds to the WFP and ICRC, despite being aware that none of these organizations currently have nearly the resources and infrastructure required for aid to reach those who need it in Gaza.

1. Today, the Swedish government has chosen to end all financial support for UNRWA. An idiotic and completely ill-considered decision that comes at a time when the government in the recent days finally has begun to express political support for UNRWA, including by voting for resolution A/ES-10/L.32.

Den ”gyllene lösningen” verkar inte fungera. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/avslojar-okade-trafikutslapp-kan-spracka-regeringens-gyllene-losning

Alla vet att det inte finns någon annan aktör än UNWRA med infrastruktur att hjälpa palestinska flyktingar. Det är därför som dagens beslut inte något annat än en attack på det palestinska folket. På deras rättigheter till utbildning och sjukvård. På deras historia. På deras rätt att leva.

MP följer upp Liberalernas utspel om att förbjuda Temu och Shein. Bra om vi kan agera tillsammans. https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/dRbpdj/mp-synar-ministern-om-temu-och-shein-maste-agera-snabbt

Det tog bara ett par år för de brunblå att göra den här 180-graderssvängen. Ibland går det fortare än kvickt i politiken, bara viljan finns. Och den här regeringen ville verkligen skjuta klimatpolitiken i sank...

”Det finns ingen begränsning för hur mycket vinst ett hvb-hem får göra på de offentliga medel de får för att vårda barn och unga. Företaget som driver Aspviksgården, där Tuva bodde, har en vinstmarginal som sticker ut – över 40 procent.” https://www.dn.se/sverige/flickorna-pa-hvb-hemmet-hittade-tuva-livlos-i-sin-sang/

Blir galen! Förs skär de ned. Sen lägger de tillbaka pyttelite och får prata om att ”satsa”! Vi har i vår budget utöver regeringens förslag 4.7 miljarder mer till utbildning. Absoluta merparten till grundskola.

Först skär SD-regeringen ned på skolan. Stödpersonal sägs upp, Stöket ökar. Sen lägger regeringen tillbaka minimalt med pengar och låtsas ”satsa”. S föreslår utöver regeringens förslag resurser motsvarande en extra pedagog i varje klass i åk 1 nästa år. sverigesradio.se/artikel/mer-...

Personkopplingarna mellan regeringen och de som gynnas av friskolornas överkompensation är besvärande. Andra logiska svar på varför överkompensationen (nästa år 2,7 MILJADER) till friskolor fortsätter saknades tyvärr helt. Hela debatten på riksdagen.se
