So you are the UN operating in Gaza and you decide that it is incumbent on you to go round the Strip collecting unexploded munitions from the recent Israeli-Hamas conflict.<\/p>\n

You decide to place these munitions in a warehouse for future safe disposal and you need someone to guard them.<\/p>\n

So who do you pick? Why, Hamas of course!<\/p>\n

Then when you find that the warehouse is suddenly empty you plead with Hamas, “can we have our munitions back please?”<\/p>\n

What kind of madness is this?<\/p>\n

1. Hamas is classified as a terrorist organisation by the UN<\/p>\n

2. UNWRA workers were recently held at gunpoint and had tonnes of aid stolen by Hamas<\/p>\n

3. Who do the UN think Hamas might use these munitions against?<\/p>\n

It is totally unbelievable. Now tell us that the UN is not deeply implicated with Hamas in Gaza. Where is their judgement? Where is their commonsense?<\/p>\n

The UN has now, effectively, turned itself into a partner for a terrorist organisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
