Former UN Aid Chief Calls Gaza Genocide 'Worst Crime of the 21st Century'

1. 'Hamas is not a terrorist group,' says UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths".

"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 cannot think of an example offhand of a place where a victory through warfare has succeeded against a well-entrenched group, terrorist or otherwise.”

Speaking of Hamas’s October 7 attack, Griffiths said he had “total understanding” of the “trauma” it had caused Israel but that Israel would need to build a relationship with its neighbors regardless."

What Griffiths is doing is justifying October 7.

Standing in solidarity against Hamas and against antisemitism is not a requirement for supporting what Israel is doing in Gaza, and this jackass Griffiths doesn't seem to understand that.

Hamas since it's branch off from the Muslim Brotherhood, the group that assassinated Sadat, has been at the forefront of sabotaging any efforts at peace with Israel, including a two-state solution.

It is a positive step that Mr. Griffiths is a former UN aid chef, because his bias immediately after October 7, in a not so subtle way, "justifying the attack", demonstrated he absolutely had no business as an arbitrator in that conflict.
