For over two years, the UN laundered Hamas propaganda, manufactured fake aid statistics, and called it "authoritative data."
Today, the curtain comes down.
The systematic information manipulation machine operating under the UN is now exposed. See the evidence for yourself: 👇

Note what has happened today. Iran insisted on Israel ceasing fire in Lebanon as part of US ceasefire, then made their proxy in Lebanon keep firing at Israel, then used Israel’s response as a pretext to break off negotiations.
They know Washington is desperate for a deal before the world economy drops off a cliff and Americans pay a fortune at the gas pump. Tehran is running rings around Trump. The Iranians have a strategy and Washington does not. This is an absolute tragedy.
If a country sitting on a rock in the North Atlantic comes to regard a conflict nearly 4,000 kilometres away as more important than almost anything else, it is worth asking why.
I like Ireland. It is a small country living next to a much larger neighbour. A country that has never been afraid to speak its mind or stand on its own feet. In that respect, it reminds me of something.
But Ireland's apparent obsession with condemning Israel at every opportunity is not healthy. Especially when many of the arguments involved turn out to be the same exaggerations, distortions and manipulations that have long been commonplace in Middle Eastern politics.
Why is it not the starting point of public debate in Ireland that Israel, as a state, has every right to exist?
Why is it not the starting point that Israel has repeatedly been attacked by opponents who have never reconciled themselves to the establishment of a Jewish state nearly eighty years ago?
Why is it not the starting point that the current war began when Hamas committed the worst massacre of Jews since the Second World War on 7 October 2023?
Why are so many people in Ireland willing to accept even the most extravagant accusations coming from the Palestinian side, while showing remarkably little interest in hearing the counterarguments?
And then there is the critical question.
If Israel were to lose this war against Hamas - an outcome that some voices in Ireland seem surprisingly relaxed about - what exactly would follow?
Hamas is not a liberal democratic movement. It is an Islamist movement whose ideology has far more in common with groups such as ISIS than with any Western political tradition. An Israeli defeat would be celebrated as a major victory by Hamas and by the Iranian regime, a regime that has spent decades repressing its own citizens and destabilising the wider region.
I do not believe that many Irish people genuinely wish to see Hamas achieve its political objectives. Nor do I believe that many Irish people would welcome a major strategic victory for Iran.
Or rather, I hope not.
Because if there really is a large majority in Ireland that believes a victory for Hamas and Iran over Israel would be a positive development, then the discussion should no longer be about Israel alone.
It should also be about Ireland itself - and about what role Ireland wishes to play in Europe.
😂 This “Nakba Survivor” is literally a “European settler”
In the late 19th century, Muslim Bosnians (including Inea’s grandparents), fled Bosnia to Ottoman Syria, after Austria-Hungary took control of Bosnia.
They feared that now, the Christians will seek revenge after years of mistreatment.
Inea’s father’s family lived in Tulkaram, but he himself lived in Jerusalem where Inea was born.
In the 1930’s, Inea’s father had a Job in England, he returned to Mandatory Palestine after a few years, but in 1948 they decided to move back to England.
They were not expelled, and no one forced them to move to England. As a matter of fact, Tulkaram, and the old city of Jerusalem remained under Jordanian Arab control. Not a single Zionist to bee seen there.
So in summary, this is a European with no strong roots in the land of Israel, whose family made the decision to immigrate back to the continent of their grandparents instead of remaining under Arab control.
(And the “visit Palestine” poster on her wall is a Zionist poster by Franz Kraus to encourage Zionist tourism to the holy land. It’s not even the original poster, but a replica of the poster, with an additional Hebrew description mentioning his name 🤦♂️)
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Iran:
They've been raping, killing and murdering for 47 years. The Western world allowed proxy wars.
We learned a lesson — we should have gone years ago at the head of the snake.
