UN priorities

The UN has its priorities.  Delivering relief supplies may be important, but it has to take a back seat to generating anti-Israeli propaganda. In a recent incident, the UN Relief and Works Agency instigated an incident with Israeli border guards and coordinated the incident with the media:

The office of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories slammed UNRWA on Monday and accused the United Nations organization of creating a provocation at the Kerem Shalom crossing by bringing trucks to it carrying supplies that had not been approved by Israel for entry into the Gaza Strip.

On Monday, the Kerem Shalom crossing was opened for the delivery of humanitarian supplies to Gaza, including some 50 trucks with supplies provided by UNRWA. The night before, UNRWA had asked the Gaza Coordination and Liaison Administration to permit the transfer of paper and plastic bags to Gaza, and had been told the request was under consideration.

Despite not having received approval, UNRWA, COGAT officials said, drove several trucks carrying the supplies from Jerusalem to the crossing and coordinated their arrival with several media outlets, which filmed the trucks being turned away.

I find it remarkable that Israel continues to allow the UN to operate in its country, despite how the UN routinely collaborates with Israel’s enemies.
