After Massive Amounts of Food Flow into Gaza, Why Is the World Still Against Israel?
(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - Three weeks after Israel announced the resumption of aid deliveries to Gaza and after the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has been successfully distributing generous amounts of food to local residents, the international pressure on Israel should have eased. Yet, attacks by Western leaders on Israel have intensified significantly. Why, despite a clear improvement in Gaza's humanitarian situation, are Western nations escalating their criticism? Is it all just antisemitism? Fear of Muslim public opinion? Ignorance fueled by biased media? All of these explanations are valid. But beyond this lies the United Nations, led by its hostile secretary-general, its many arms, agencies, affiliated NGOs, and the data it disseminates. The UN is terrified of losing its "humanitarian" grip on Gaza. A senior minister from a Western country told an Israeli ambassador in a private meeting that the UN is exerting heavy pressure on his government to publicly decry the so-called "famine in Gaza," regardless of the facts on the ground. The UN has systematically worked to thwart every alternative to Hamas that Israel has tried to promote and refuses to cooperate with the GHF. UNRWA, the UN's food agency, and countless NGOs have created a multi-billion-dollar aid industry in Gaza that employs tens of thousands. Its leaders understand that if the GHF takes over, they will become obsolete. The UN plays a crucial role in perpetuating and inflaming the "Palestinian struggle" against Israel. UNRWA, OCHA, and various other UN bodies are responsible for maintaining the Palestinians' "refugee status," funding the camps where they live, spreading distorted information about Israel, and working hand-in-glove with Hamas for years. Hamas's main computer server farm was housed beneath UNRWA's headquarters in Gaza City.
