The UN Sides With Hamas Against U.S.-Israel Aid Effort

For some reason, we don’t regard the United Nations’ criticisms of a joint U.S.-Israel public-private endeavor to distribute food aid to the Gazan people as we would Burger King’s critiques of the fare on offer from McDonald’s. They are the bleating protestations of an inferior competitor vying for attention in a space in which it pretends to be a leader but isn’t.

With the brazenness you might not expect from an institution that only last week was compelled to backtrack (but not apologize) for slandering Israel by falsely accusing it of systematically starving infants to death, the U.N.’s Human Rights Office had the temerity to accuse a U.S. charity working alongside Israel’s Defense Forces of botching the humanitarian mission in the Strip.
