The United Nations may want to sit this one out, given what the UNRWA got in hot water for recently, but their Relief Chief, Martin Griffiths, didn’t get the memo.
“Hamas is not a terrorist group, but for us as you know is a political movement”. – Martin Griffiths, United Nations Relief Chief

More from The Jerusalem Post:
UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths told a representative from Sky News on Wednesday that he did not consider Hamas to be a terrorist group.
Asked about the feasibility of Israel’s military goal to eliminate Hamas and disallow the terrorist group from having any governing say in Gaza, Griffiths responded “Hamas is not a terrorist group for us, as you know, it is a political movement. But, I think it is very very difficult to dislodge these groups without a negotiated solution; which includes their aspirations.
“I can not think of an example offhand of a place where a victory through warfare has succeeded against a well-entrenched group, terrorist or otherwise.”
Germany would like a word, Mr. Griffiths.
He looks like the very embodiment of the morally compromised bureaucrat. https://t.co/HlnnP7YRb3

Yes he does. Because he is.
He is quite literally “legitimatising” (or attempting to) all the horrible things Hamas did.
Which then sets a frightening precedent.
If any group wishes to repeat what they did.
Anywhere else in the world.
Don’t worry.
The UN will let you off as a “political movement”

They’ve already said Hamas is a ‘resistance’ movement against Israel.
They’ll excuse any behavior if it supports their latest cause du jour or political agenda.
Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization by multiple countries, including the United States, Israel, and the European Union.

That’s where it belongs.
Let’s keep working hard to give money to the UN!

Let’s not.
Hamas are a terrorist group that gang rapes, beheads, burns alive, stabs to death, tortures, slaughters and kidnaps and UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths says it’s not a terrorist group, it’s a political organisation. Defund the UN full-stop! What a joke! https://t.co/eGRGZPoZCF

A very un-funny joke.
Dufund, remove the people from the US, and burn the building down. https://t.co/MYSET4MlyX

And salt the earth for good measure.
You know, that United Nations building in NYC would make an amazing veterans center. https://t.co/Lk9bglAiZB

Also a good idea.
He’s right. Hamas is a political
movement. And its political platform is “kill the Jews wherever you may find them.” https://t.co/Z0aS3v2TTT

A fair point.
This really should be the beginning of the end of the UN. https://t.co/lZZIZAnoNh

It has long outlived its purpose and usefulness.
Now it’s a bunch of leftwing bureaucrats who want to run our lives.
“Yes, they murdered and/or kidnapped a couple thousand Jews (and a few Americans, to boot). But that’s just politics!” https://t.co/jlKPBMr8YT

Somehow, we think if any other group did this, it wouldn’t be excused as ‘political’ by the UN.
Then you wonder how @UNRWA became the work agency for the terrorists of Hamas. https://t.co/DNwD8lvD5G

Total mystery how that happened.
Say that again after Hamas rapes and kills your family. https://t.co/gJwravDwdL
— Fran Auerbach (@franauerbach) February 15, 2024
Some of them would still excuse Hamas, even if they did.
Scary thought, isn’t it?
These U.N. Officials are supporting terrorists. Israel should completely withdraw from the U.N., ban all officials from their land, and arrest any of their operatives on sight in Gaza. The U.N. is a an enemy of western civilization. https://t.co/xT0vGiBvfU

It would be glorious to see Israel do that. And other nations should follow suit.
