UN's credibility, already shaky when it comes to Israel, takes another hit with outright lies

 

Has the UN ever had any credibility when it comes to Israel. When they believe the constant stream of lies and exaggerations pouring forth from Hamas, they reveal their disregard for anything resembling the truth.

Gaza ‘journalist’ whom the UN reported killed by Israel

is no longer dead, false claim remains on UN site

The UN appears to have no problem with lies if they can be used against Israel.

UN credibility on Israel, Palestinians ‘in serious doubt,’

after error about Gazan ‘journalist'

by Mike Wagenheim, JNS, April 9, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A U.N. office stands corrected after having “verified” the death of someone it referred to as a Gazan journalist. But despite the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights assuring JNS that it issued a correction after the United Nations found out the person in question was still alive, the error remains on several pages on the U.N. website.

The OHCHR issued a Dec. 14 press release expressing its “alarm” by “an unprecedented rate of journalists and media workers who have been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7.” The U.N. agency claimed to have “verified the killing of 50 journalists and media workers, and has received information that 30 more may have died, amounting to approximately 6% of all those registered with the Journalists’ Syndicate in Gaza.”

In the fifth of the release’s 18 paragraphs, OHCHR noted that “Mr. Mustafa Ayyash, the founder and director of the Gaza Now News Agency, was killed along with at least eight members of his family, including children, in an apparent airstrike on his house in Al Nuseirat Camp on Nov. 22.”

That claim remains in a document that appears several times on the U.N. website.

Among those whom the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned on March 27, for “having materially assisted, sponsored or provided financial, material or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, Hamas,” was “Gaza Now and its founder Mustafa Ayash,” apparently very much alive. (The United Kingdom took similar actions.)

The publican Gaza Now announced the next day that Austrian authorities had arrested Ayyash. It was not clear publicly how Austrian authorities tracked Ayyash, but Vienna gave no indication it had arrested a dead man….

The incorrect information published about Mustafa Ayyash’s death remains active on the U.N.’s webpage for information about the organization’s Palestinian advocacy and on the same site’s monthly bulletin from December.

“This incident and many others indicate the urgent need for significant organizational reforms,” Truzman told JNS. “At present, the U.N.’s credibility in matters concerning Israel and the Palestinians is in serious doubt.”

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind!
