| | + | |
| | + | At the end, on Jan 5, 2024, the UN switched tactics and decided to claim as if the account was supposedly "hacked." |
| | + | 'UN claims antisemitic posts are due to employee account being hacked.

| | + | The world body, which has long been accused of Jew-hatred, waffled on its explanation of the situation. |
| | + | |
| | + | In what reads like the plot of a thriller no one would write, the United Nations claims that an unknown party hacked an employee’s social-media account, posted Jew-hatred (including comparing Israelis to [supposedly] Nazis) and then evidently out of concern for the reputation of the woman that he or she had hacked, deleted the account. |
| | + | |
| | + | Even that sequence of events took some time to get there. At first, the United Nations claimed that the account was a fake and didn’t belong to its employee in Germany, a writer and consultant named Lamia Burkart, and told a man being targeted by the account to delete his posts connecting the account to Burkart. |
| | + | |
| | + | Khaled Hassan, a researcher on Islamist terrorism and former member of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, posted a video, including screenshots, on Jan. 5, following what he said were deceptive and inadequate responses from the United Nations. |
| | + | |
| | + | Hassan noticed last month that Burkart posted a string of tweets comparing Israel to [supposedly] Nazi Germany and declared, “We prefer Hamas to Israel 1,000 times.” Those posts came to his attention after the account bearing Burkart’s name—the one that the United Nations first said wasn’t hers and then says was hers but was hacked—accused him of being a paid agent of Israel who supported [supposedly] “genocide” in Gaza. |
| | + | |
| | + | Soon thereafter, as Hassan tells it in the video, he noticed that a LinkedIn account bearing Burkart’s name had viewed his profile on the professional social network. Information from his LinkedIn profile was used in a public attack on him, he said. |
| | + | |
| | + | When Hassan contacted the United Nations about the posts, Alessandra Vellucci, director of the U.N. Information Service in Geneva, told him that Burkart did not own the X account in question and hadn’t been active on the platform for years. Vellucci further claimed that Burkart’s LinkedIn account was hacked and told Hassan to urgently delete his accusations, and thus correct the record. |
| | + | |
| | + | Hassan replied, noting the string of coincidences that made Vellucci’s claims highly unlikely. He received no response, he said in the video. |
| | + | |
| | + | ‘The matter is being dealt with’ |
| | + | |
| | + | When the Jewish Chronicle of London sought further comment, the United Nations changed its response. It acknowledged that the offensive messages did come from Burkart’s X account but said now that her X account was also hacked. Burkart had since closed the account to prevent further use, it said. |
| | + | |
| | + | The United Nations, which has long been accused of Jew-hatred at much higher levels than a writer and consultant, has thus far provided no evidence that Burkart’s accounts were hacked nor explanation why it changed its story. |
| | + | |
| | + | Last week, the United Nations told JNS that Sarah Douglas, a senior official at U.N. Women, breached its code of conduct over a series of anti-Israel social-media posts and endorsements. It said the matter was “being dealt with.” |
| | + | |
| | + | “We are aware of reports relating to a mid-level manager in personal social-media activity and its compatibility with the standards of conduct required of U.N. staff members,” Kiri Jo Ginnerup, a U.N. Women spokeswoman, later told JNS. |
| | + | |
| | + | “U.N. Women takes these concerns seriously,” she added. “The standards of conduct are clear and breaches are dealt with appropriately and in accordance with U.N Women’s accountability and legal framework. Such processes are internal and not made public.”</small></blockquote></ref> |

| | + | |
| | + | On Jan 4, 2024, COGAT again slammed UN for ‘stalling’ entry of aid to Gaza and ‘avoiding the facts.’ |
| | + | The Defense Ministry body responsible for Palestinian civilian affairs again accuses the United Nations of not doing enough to process humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. |
| | + | “You can’t keep avoiding the facts: There is no collective punishment. 2 crossings are open. You said you can transfer 200 trucks a day in Kerem Shalom, yet you’re not scraping 100,” says COGAT in a post on X, responding to claims by Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of UNRWA.<ref>[https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/cogat-again-slams-un-for-stalling-entry-of-aid-to-gaza-and-avoiding-the-facts/ COGAT again slams UN for ‘stalling’ entry of aid to Gaza and ‘avoiding the facts’], ''TOI'', 4 Jan 2024. |

| | + | The Defense Ministry body responsible for Palestinian civilian affairs again accuses the United Nations of not doing enough to process humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. |
| | + | |
| | + | “You can’t keep avoiding the facts: There is no collective punishment. 2 crossings are open. You said you can transfer 200 trucks a day in Kerem Shalom, yet you’re not scraping 100,” says COGAT in a post on X, responding to claims by Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of UNRWA, who says “the Palestinian people subjected to collective punishment with too little humanitarian aid allowed in.” |
| | + | |
| | + | “Over the last 80 days, we’ve adjusted ourselves, all you’ve been doing is stalling,” COGAT adds. |
| | + | |
| | + | Prior to Hamas’s shock assault on Israel on October 7 and Israel’s subsequent war with the Gaza terror group, around 500 trucks of humanitarian aid would enter Gaza on a daily basis, primarily through Israel’s Kerem Shalom crossing. |
| | + | |
| | + | However, following the terror onslaught, Israel had permitted aid to enter Gaza only via Egypt’s Rafah Crossing after each individual truck is inspected. In a bid to facilitate an increase in the number of aid trucks that can enter Gaza each day, Israel recently also reopened Kerem Shalom Crossing for the transfer of aid.</small></blockquote></ref> |
