They issued statements about the 55,000 Lebanese forced to move from their homes near the border with Israel because of Hezbollah attacks and Israeli responses.
But they have not said a word about the 200,000-250,000 Israelis who were forced to leave their homes near Gaza and Lebanon.
The UN organization is not the same as the UN refugee organization UNHCR. In fact, they look at the issue of migration from a different angle - the IOM wants to encourage people to migrate safely if they want to.
But do they support Palestinians who want to move to Arab countries and become full citizens?
Have they said that Gazans who want to should have the right to move to Egypt and Jordan?
No, of course not. Because just as there are different rules for Israel, there are different rules for Palestinians who don't fit the anti-Israel narrative.
The closest that the IOM came to saying anything about Israeli victims of the October 7 pogrom was this passive voice, both-sidesism tweet from their chief:
Israelis weren't brutally murdered. No, there was just an inexplicable "loss of life."
In fact, the group seems to think Israel doesn't get affected by any man-made or even natural disasters at all! In February, there was a devastating earthquake that killed thousands in Turkey and Syria. It was felt throughout the region.
Here is what the IOM tweeted:
Somehow, in the initial hours after the quake, they determined that it affected Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and the Palestinian territories - but miraculously, not Israel!
The tremors completely skipped under Israel on their way to the Palestinians!
