GHF: "We'll partner with anyone to feed every Gazan." The UN: "Screw the Gazans, we'd rather work with Hamas." ~ Elder Of Ziyon

GHF: "We'll partner with anyone to feed every Gazan." The UN: "Screw the Gazans, we'd rather work with Hamas."

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sent a letter to the UN offering to provide security for the delivery of aid that is rotting away inside Gaza.

UN agencies continue to assert that a lack of permissions and security is impeding aid delivery. However, the reality on the ground tells a different story. More than 400 aid distribution points run by the UN and its partners remain closed. Kitchens have shuttered, trucks sit idle, drivers are striking, and convoys are routinely looted. This is not an access issue. It is a capacity and operational issue, and the world deserves honesty about that distinction.

We are aware that the UN and other aid organizations have essential aid stuck sitting in warehouses, including rice that has been sitting for more than 90 days, flour about to expire, and critical medical supplies already expired. We’ve seen the footage and heard the accounts of trucks being destroyed and food stolen. We’ve even been asked if we can provide security for convoys of other aid organizations. The answer is yes: we stand ready and willing to provide security for UN aid workers and assist in delivering aid.

We invite the United Nations and its partners to join us in adapting to the realities of this complex environment. The people of Gaza simply cannot afford for the world’s largest humanitarian organization to walk away. Our door remains open. We are prepared to support the safe and accountable delivery of UN aid to final distribution points across Gaza. But time is short. The population cannot wait for interagency political games while food sits in warehouses and people go hungry.

Here is the UN's response:

There is enough work for many humanitarian organizations for us to work with. We welcome working with any other partners. All we ask is that those partners work based on the most basic humanitarian principles, one of them being that don’t set up an operation that will increase the risk of people to be shot at or trampled while trying to get food. Also, we have a system that works. All we’re asked is to be allowed to do that system. I don’t think we need to add another layer of for-profit organizations. We need humanitarian partners, and we welcome working with any and every humanitarian partners that works along those basis.

The UN's hypocrisy is clear.

Even if they disagree with GHF's methods of distributing food, that doesn't mean they cannot use them for security. They can insist that the GHF adhere to their principles for securing the delivery. Their blanket "no" to GHF shows that their supposed concern about humanitarian principles is not principled at all.

But this goes deeper than that. The UN has cooperated with Hamas for years, before and during the war, for aid delivery. Hamas is not exactly a humanitarian organization. But in that case, the UN says that its principles are overridden by practical considerations of how to get the aid to those who need it.

Hamas hanging with UN members

Their willingness to partner with Hamas and not with GHF tells you that the UN doesn't care about principles, but politics. It wants control over the aid to Gazans and it has no problem with Hamas skimming the aid and selling it to bankroll its terrorism.

Think about this: The UN has never said a negative word about Hamas stealing aid, or attacking aid workers and Gaza civilians, or using civilians as human shields, or putting weapons under hospitals. It has criticized an organization that has distributed tens of millions of meals more in the past two months than it has criticized Hamas in 20 years.

Given all these incontrovertible facts, the UN cannot pretend to care about Gazans today. It wants to take down GHF more than it wants to feed Gazans. And it prefers Hamas to an aid agency that bypasses it to give food directly to the people.

Did the UN ask Gazans if they would accept GHF to secure the trucks and bring in food to their distribution points? Obviously not, because we know what Gazans would prefer. Which means that the arrogant UN is saying that it knows what's best for Gazans better than Gazans themselves.

Speaking of arrogance, compare the tone of the two messages. GHF recognizes that its model cannot provide food for all and it is begging to partner with the UN. The UN, which has said for months that the reason it cannot distribute the food in Gaza is because of security, changes its tune when its perceived competition offers to solve that problem.

By any metric, the UN is a thoroughly immoral organization - even in Gaza itself.
