Hamas Tunnel Network Discovered Under UN Agency in Gaza That Fired Staffers Over Alleged Terror Links

(DCNF)—The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have discovered a series of tunnels under a major United Nations agency tied to Hamas and Islamic terrorism in Gaza, the Times of Israel reported on Saturday.

IDF discovered a network of Hamas logistics tunnels and a data hub, featuring electrical rooms, computer servers and living spaces, beneath the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the Times reported on Saturday. UNRWA had multiple sources of funding cut after it was discovered that it employed several staffers who participated in the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks against Israel and many more staffers had ties to Islamic terrorism in the region.

The IDF had little or no previous knowledge about the Hamas tunnels existing under UNRWA’s Gaza headquarters, according to the Times. The logistics and data hub under UNRWA’s headquarters was discovered by Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence service as a result of interrogations of captured Hamas terrorists.

“The IDF was here previously, the first time was to destroy the enemy, but when we were here the last time we collected a lot of intelligence documents and findings, a lot of prisoners, and thanks to this we reached here,” IDF Col. Benny Aharon told the Times. “Now we carried out a targeted operation to take this capability away.”

“We had a basis of information, but not enough to be able to dig down 20 meters and find it, we needed a bit more,” Aharon told the Times. “There’s information we get from prisoners we capture, from computers we find, from documents, maps.”

UNRWA Gaza head of operations Philippe Lazzarini claimed on Saturday he “did not know” that Hamas was operating and conducting logistics underground beneath the agency’s headquarters, according to the Times. “We have not used that compound since we left it [on Oct. 12] nor are we aware of any activity that may have taken place there,” Lazzarini said in a statement on Saturday.

The Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories: Judea and Samaria and towards the Gaza Strip (COGAT), the organization coordinating between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, pushed back on that claim, insisting that UNRWA leadership was aware of Hamas’ activities beneath the tunnels.

“Oh, you knew,” COGAT responded to Lazzarani on Saturday. “Digging a tunnel takes longer than 4 months. We invited senior officials to see, and during past meetings with you and other UN officials, we stated Hamas’s use of UNRWA’s headquarters. You chose to ignore the facts so you can later try and deny them.”

UNRWA fired multiple staffers in late January for their alleged participation in the Hamas Oct. 7 attacks against Israel. It was later discovered that over 1,000 UNRWA staffers had direct ties to Islamic terrorism, according to U.S. intelligence reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Multiple Western nations, including the U.S., have suspended funding for UNRWA pending an investigation into the organization’s ties to terrorism.

Israel is carrying out a sweeping counteroffensive against Hamas in Gaza in retaliation for the group’s terrorist attacks on Oct. 7 that killed over 1,200 civilians. The IDF has secured most of north Gaza and is preparing to push into and secure the southernmost part of the region, specifically Rafah, which borders Egypt, according to the WSJ.

UNRWA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

U.N. ‘Secretly Working With Banks’ to Destroy American Food Industry

Bob Unruh, WND — Tue, 06 Feb 2024 14:32:50 +0000

(WND)—Farmers are under attack in multiple food-producing nations now.

WND reported just days ago on a video that showed empty stores in France, where a climate agenda threatened the production processes for farmers, and they more or less staged a strike.

And just recently, in Germany, farmers blocked highways in protest over costly and unnecessary agriculture policies.

Now, however, there’s a new campaign against farmers, in which the United Nations works with banks to debank the food producers, closing their accounts and not allowing them to operate their businesses.

The report is from NewsAddicts, which explained officials from 12 U.S. states have sounded an alarm after finding out the “unelected globalist United Nations is secretly working with banks to destroy the American farming industry.”

The report explained the banks use the U.N.’s “Marxist ‘environmental, social, and corporate governance’ (ESG) criteria to score and penalize farmers.”

They found that those farmers not sufficiently “woke,” that is, using methods and processes that are not ESG-approved, have their accounts shut down without notice, the report said.

The report charged, “The plot seeks to throttle the agriculture industry to eliminate all those who fail to comply with the globalist ‘Net Zero’ agenda of the World Economic Forum (WEF).”

The actual attack structure works through the U.N.’s “Net Zero Banking Alliance, the report explained.

But that has prompted agriculture commissioners in a dozen states to accuse several of America’s larger banking corporations of working to increase food prices – and even reduce availability.

The report said, “They criticize the banks’ membership in the NZBA, which aims to finance ambitious climate action, potentially harming American farming and ranching operations by promoting an agenda that prioritizes wind turbines and solar panels over energy sources such as diesel fuel.”

The bank’s ESG ideology actually poses a threat to the world’s food security, they said.

U.S. Allows U.N. to Green Light More Humanitarian Aid for Gaza

Publius — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 22:29:32 +0000

The United Nations Security Council has given the green light to a revised plan aimed at escalating humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. This move comes after a week of negotiations and delays in votes, all to avoid a potential veto by the United States.

In the wake of a mounting death toll and a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza due to an 11-week conflict between Israel and Hamas, the United States opted to abstain, enabling the 15-member council to adopt a resolution drafted by the United Arab Emirates. All remaining council members voted in favor, except for Russia, which also abstained.

Efforts to sway Washington in favor of the resolution led to alterations in the text, ensuring that Israel’s control over aid deliveries to Gaza, catering to 2.3 million people, remained intact. Israel oversees the limited aid transported through the Rafah crossing from Egypt and the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing.

However, the modification in language regarding a cessation of hostilities raised concerns among council members, including Russia and Arab and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation states. Some diplomats view this alteration as potentially authorizing Israel to take further action against Hamas in response to an earlier deadly attack on October 7.

The adopted resolution emphasizes the immediate necessity for safe, unimpeded, and expanded humanitarian access while striving to create conditions conducive to a sustained cessation of hostilities. Notably, the initial draft had stressed an “urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities” to facilitate aid access.

Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia expressed apprehension before the vote, cautioning that the approved resolution could grant Israeli armed forces considerable leeway in the Gaza Strip.

Russia proposed amending the draft to revert to the original text calling for an “urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities,” but the United States vetoed this amendment. The vote resulted in 10 in favor, with four abstentions.

Earlier this month, the 193-member U.N. General Assembly had urged a humanitarian ceasefire, garnering support from 153 states. However, this move had been vetoed by the United States in the Security Council.

Both the United States and Israel oppose a ceasefire, asserting it would primarily benefit Hamas. Instead, Washington advocates for periodic pauses in fighting to safeguard civilians and secure the release of hostages held by Hamas.

Globalist UN Favors Sodom and Gomorrah, Objects to Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2023

Ramon Tomey — Sat, 03 Jun 2023 18:42:44 +0000

The United Nations has voiced out its objections toward Uganda’s newly-signed Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2023, which imposes capital punishment on “aggravated homosexuality.”

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres pointed out that the law signed by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni on May 29 “conflicts with key international treaties and violates the rights of Ugandan citizens.” The UN’s Human Rights Office (HRO) previously called for an “urgent” judicial review of the law. It also described the newly-signed act as a “recipe for systemic violations of the rights” of Ugandans.

Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN secretary general, said on May 30 that Guterres was “very concerned” about the new law. He reiterated that the top UN official “again calls on all countries to decriminalize consensual same-sex relationships and transgender people everywhere. To put it clearly, no one should be penalized, jailed, criminalized for whom they love.”

“The secretary-general has been very clear and continues to call on all member states to uphold the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in particular the adherence to the fundamental rights and principles of non-discrimination and respect for personal privacy,” said Dujarric.

The Joint United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS, the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria have also released a joint statement condemning the new law.

The three organizations expressed deep concern over the “harmful impact” of the newly-signed law on public health and the HIV response, adding that “stigma and discrimination associated with the passage of the Act have already led to reduced access to prevention as well as treatment services” for Ugandan LGBT.

“Uganda’s progress on its HIV response is now in grave jeopardy,” it noted. “The Anti-Homosexuality Act [of] 2023 will obstruct health education and the outreach that can help end AIDS as a public health threat.”

The Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2023 stipulates the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality” – which includes engaging in sexual intercourse with another member of the family, committing sexual crimes against children and having sex while HIV-positive. A suspect convicted of “attempted aggravated homosexuality” can face jail time of up to 14 years. Meanwhile, anyone found “promoting” homosexuality could be put behind bars for 20 years.

Ugandan lawmaker: Washington has no right to meddle in Kampala’s affairs

U.S. President Joe Biden blasted the new law in a May 29 statement. He described the new law as “a tragic violation of universal human rights – one that is not worthy of the Ugandan people and one that jeopardizes the prospects of critical economic growth for the entire country.”

“I join with people around the world, including many in Uganda, in calling for its immediate repeal,” he said. “No one should have to live in constant fear for their life or being subjected to violence and discrimination. It is wrong.”

Washington had previously warned of “repercussions” the East African nation could suffer – including possible visa restrictions, cuts to aid budgets and even economic sanctions. However, a lawmaker from Uganda blasted the U.S. for its selective imposition of sanctions due to Kampala’s approval of the Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2023.

Asuman Basalirwa, a member of the unicameral Parliament of Uganda of the Bugiri Municipality, told RT on May 29 that decisions on internal affairs should be left to each country.

“I have no problem with the way a country manages their affairs,” he said. “My only problem with these people is single-picking. This law here was signed by the president of the Republic of Uganda.” (Related: Ugandan President Museveni signs anti-LGBT legislation that stipulates DEATH PENALTY for “aggravated homosexuality.”)

Basalirwa even escalated things to a higher notch by issuing a challenge: “May I invite America, Canada, Britain and the entire Europe to cancel the visa of [Ugandan President Yoweri] Museveni?”
