Watch What Morally Compromised Bureaucrat, UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths, Says About Hamas

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. -- We have no words. 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. 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. Whoops. Hold on a minute guys and gals, I gotta take the U.N. out where it belongs… https://twitter.com/i/status/1758150328355332136 -- That's where it belongs.
