A new report by Israel’s Foreign Ministry details how the United Nations manipulates data that whitewashes Jihadist terror groups and demonizes Israel. The report refutes data published by the UN inflating the number of civilians killed and the scope of damage in combat between the IDF and Hamas terrorists, and also painting a false picture of mass targeted starvation.
According to the report, a United Nations agency, usually the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) would cite statistics from untrustworthy sources, mainly the Hamas-occupied Gaza Health Ministry or the ‘Government’ Media Office. As part of the process, the agency would fail to disclose that these entities are controlled by Hamas terrorists.
The UN would then rebrand those unreliable statistics and cite them in different UN reports, but attribute them to the UN agency rather than the Jihadist-controlled original source. This data is then reported on by non-UN actors, including media outlets, governments, and other official sources.
The manipulation paints an incorrect picture in which official entities use data that may be cited from a supposedly trustworthy source, but in reality, originates from terrorists.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry also points to the Al-Ahli Hospital explosion that occured on October 17th 2023, during which a rocket fired by Gazan forces impacted the compound. The United Nations was quick to cite terrorist sources that falsely accused the IDF for the strike and grossly inflated the number of fatalities, creating a global uproar based on lies.
