This is an arrogant and pompous closing statement. The UN says there is nothing to see here folks so those are the facts.
UNRWA's suspected infiltration by Hamas does put into question the UN's role as an honest broker.
Suspected. So the burden of proof lies on the accusers and so far we have not seen any. Israel has come up with numerous accusations of beheaded babies, burnt bodies, rapes etc.,
However the UN mission proved that there was no forensic or testimonial evidence. They therefore recommended an actual investigation as next steps.
Israel claimed command centers under Al-Shifa and a "weapons cache". That was debunked as deceptive imagery persuasion and it was infact an image from a gun store in the West Bank.
They claimed AK47s in the MRI room, behind the MRI machine, only to have it debunked that it was placed there by the IDF themselves.
There were many more.
So it is indeed pompous and arrogant. It is pompous and arrogant to claim that Israeli propaganda somehow has more credibility than the entities affiliated with the UN, who have done the good, hard work to bring us the truth.
Do you consider a program to pay the families of dead terrorists humanizing for anyone?
Most of us consider that program an act of war. At the end of the day, if you continue to ask for a war that's what you will get. The claims of Palestinian genocide is a not so clever use of words. Palestine and Israel are at war.
Hamas is the ruling body, for better or worse, in Gaza. As such they are completely justified in paying their soldiers just like the IDF is being paid for the mass murder of Palestinian civilians. Palestine and Israel are not at war. Palestine is not yet an independent nation (although they are recognized as a sovereign state by 143 countries). This is a one way conflict where Israel is assaulting Gaza. They say they are targeting Hamas but they don't even do BDAs. So they dont know who they are killing and how many. So this is:
a) An assault on the civilian population of Gaza, as an act of collective punishment, which is the Israeli method of operation, and has been for decades. This is further proven by statements by Israeli politicians and officials.
b) Per the IHL's rules of proportionality, Israel's actions amount to war crimes, minimally.
c) Per the terms laid out by the genocide convention, Israel's actions meet the minimum criteria for genocide which are: Killing members of a group, causing deliberate conditions that bring about the physical destruction of a group, causing serious bodily harm to members of a group. And most importantly INTENT as expressed by Yaov Gallant, Itamar Ben Gvir, Smotrich and many other Israeli politicians time and time again. This is what the UN special report lays out and this is why the ICJ also passed the verdict that there is plausible genocide in Gaza. Reviewing the events in Gaza, and taking into account the ICJ verdict and the UN Special report, it is reasonable to conclude that Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide in Gaza.
