The United Nations Shares the Blame for Hamas’ Bloodshed

Try as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has, the fact is war continues to hang heavy over the Israel-Gaza border.

It’s the United Nations’ fault, in very large part.

That’s according to Abraham Cooper, writing for the New York Post. In his opinion piece, he said strategic and behind-closed-doors dealings at the global body have kept Hamas in its position of power.

Hamas is considered a terror group by governments of the world — yet in the eyes of the United Nations, it’s worthy of shielding from criticism.

More, from Cooper in the Post:

The specter of war hangs large over the Israel-Gaza border, after communities in southern Israel this week suffered a barrage of 200 Hamas missiles — including a powerful Grad missile that landed in Beersheba, far from the border. Iranian money, weapons and tactics may be fueling Hamas’ attacks, but there are other unindicted co-conspirators at work, and it is time to call one out: the United Nations.

Nikki Haley, the straight-talking undiplomatic US ambassador to the United Nations, has tried and failed to get the Security Council and General Assembly to denounce Hamas’ serial use of civilians to violently breach the Israel-Gaza dividing line. “Attacking Israel is their favorite political sport,” Haley lamented.

Indeed, cynical maneuvers at the UN have made Hamas bulletproof to even the slightest diplomatic slap. The terror group knows the world body will never condemn it for murdering Jews or putting Gaza’s civilians in harm’s way. It knows the UN will always blame the Jewish state.

Just days after 62 Palestinians were killed during a Hamas-led attempt to breach Israel’s security fence, the UN Human Rights Council voted to investigate the deaths, no doubt with an eye toward ultimately blaming Israel.

This, despite a declaration by a Hamas official that 53 of the dead were members of Hamas or affiliated with another terrorist group, Islamic Jihad — an admission that this was no “peaceful protest” by innocent Gazan civilians.

UN human rights chief Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein accused the Jewish state of keeping Gazans “caged in a toxic slum.” He failed to explain why Hamas diverts — i.e., steals — shipments of building materials meant for civilian housing repairs so it can expand its terror tunnels into Israeli territory.

The next day, Haley announced the US was quitting the council over its unending hostility toward Israel.

This week, as Fox News reported, the UN’s special rapporteur for human rights, Michael Lynk, suggested suspending a UN member state for violating international law. North Korea? Iran? Syria? No, Israel — a country facing 200,000 rockets from Hezbollah in the north and deadly attacks by Hamas in the south.

All this diplomatic cover from the United Nations reassures Hamas that it won’t face consequences from the international community, essentially giving it a green light to launch more attacks.

UN agencies on the ground in Gaza are also part of the problem. The United Nations Relief and Welfare Agency employs over 11,000 people there, including medical personnel, teachers and school administrators. It claims to have 267 schools servicing over a quarter million students in Gaza. But far from serving as a voice of reason and reconciliation, UNRWA feeds the beast of victimhood.

Its textbooks never even mention the state of Israel; “Palestine” runs from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River. One map even invented an Arabic name for Tel Aviv, Israel’s leading metropolis, which was built from empty sand dunes by Zionist pioneers in the early 20th century. Israel isn’t demonized in the curriculum; it simply doesn’t exist.

On the days in May that Hamas was planning its deadly border riots, UNRWA school teachers and administrators announced, out of the blue, that schools and offices would be closed. Clearly, their aim was to encourage youngsters to become cannon fodder for Hamas. I doubt there is a more powerful exhibition of mass child abuse in our time.

No, the UN might not directly and openly steer weapons and money to Hamas for attacks on Israel. But its diplomatic protection of the group, endless rhetorical bashing of the Jewish state and pervasive promotion of anti-Israel propaganda encourages Hamas’ outrageous behavior. Moreover, any aid or services it provides relieves Hamas of funding those needs, freeing it to divert money to terrorist activities.

Secretary General António Guterres is a decent, fair-minded UN chief. But US taxpayers question why they’re sending their dollars to an organization engaged in such shameful shenanigans. If Guterres fails to regain control of the asylum, he may soon see the US cash flow shut off for good.

Guterres is not “fair minded” or “decent”, he’s stated clearly how he wants all European states to be swamped by immigrants from Africa and Asia, figures of 200 million have been mentioned spread over 20 years and that means only one thing, race war and genocide – of white Europeans.

I certainly agree that the U.N.has failed miserably in the Middle East, and that we should use our financial assistance to it to try and change the anti-Semitic direction that this body has taken. Let me try to draw an analogy to what is happening between the Hamas/PLO and Israel. If the United States was under attack by groups within Mexico, who were firing missiles into Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California, claiming that those states were occupiers of Mexico’s land, or Mexico citizens were racing to the borders to forcefully cross and attack American citizens, would the U.S.A. do nothing? I think our response would be overwhelming. Though this happenstance is very unlikely, it is exactly what Israel has been facing since its birth as a nation. They have every right to do what is necessary to protect themselves. In fact, I believe that they should take back Gaza and create defensible borders to the Jordan river. The Arab world should be required to absorb the Islamic believers into those countries that are Muslim nations. The U.N. and the rest of the anti-Semitic world be damned! The Arab world is hell bent on destroying Israel and its people, and that will never change as they follow a satanic belief system that promotes violence and that will never change. I certainly oppose any bloodshed, and I do hope that Israel gives the people living in the areas referred to herein time to safely move to other Arab nations, with the forcible support of the U.N., as I know that as of now other Arab nations do not want to accept these people. I do hope that the leaders within Israel come to their senses and conclude that they are being left with no choice but to remove the enemies that surround them with haste, before it is too late.

Disband the United Nations. Close the building. Nobody gets along up there. Someone wrote that all the foreigners do is PESTER you for money day and night.

The amount of taxes saved will be STUPENDOUS and should be refunded back to the American people. We don’t need them, they need US, but tuff sh it.

That is why they are TURD world countries. You will never be able to help them as the leaders take all the money from the people.

The U.N. has long been fairly useless in resolving many international conflicts.
