The UN appears to have no problem with lies if they can be used against Israel.
“UN credibility on Israel, Palestinians ‘in serious doubt,’ after error about Gazan ‘journalist,’” by Mike Wagenheim, JNS, April 9, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A U.N. office stands corrected after having “verified” the death of someone it referred to as a Gazan journalist. But despite the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights assuring JNS that it issued a correction after the United Nations found out the person in question was still alive, the error remains on several pages on the U.N. website.
The OHCHR issued a Dec. 14 press release expressing its “alarm” by “an unprecedented rate of journalists and media workers who have been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7.” The U.N. agency claimed to have “verified the killing of 50 journalists and media workers, and has received information that 30 more may have died, amounting to approximately 6% of all those registered with the Journalists’ Syndicate in Gaza.”
In the fifth of the release’s 18 paragraphs, OHCHR noted that “Mr. Mustafa Ayyash, the founder and director of the Gaza Now News Agency, was killed along with at least eight members of his family, including children, in an apparent airstrike on his house in Al Nuseirat Camp on Nov. 22.”
That claim remains in a document that appears several times on the U.N. website.
Among those whom the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned on March 27, for “having materially assisted, sponsored or provided financial, material or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, Hamas,” was “Gaza Now and its founder Mustafa Ayash,” apparently very much alive. (The United Kingdom took similar actions.)
The publican Gaza Now announced the next day that Austrian authorities had arrested Ayyash. It was not clear publicly how Austrian authorities tracked Ayyash, but Vienna gave no indication it had arrested a dead man….
The incorrect information published about Mustafa Ayyash’s death remains active on the U.N.’s webpage for information about the organization’s Palestinian advocacy and on the same site’s monthly bulletin from December.
“This incident and many others indicate the urgent need for significant organizational reforms,” Truzman told JNS. “At present, the U.N.’s credibility in matters concerning Israel and the Palestinians is in serious doubt.”

I have to wonder which is the greater error (lie?) by that wretched organization, the UN: That this man was killed or was a journalist? Close call.

This is why when someone has an opinion, should get educated and everything what is coming out of Gaza has to be checked
This shows That hidden antisemitism was always there, and now it is against the state of Israel
They want us all dead, and the state of Israel to be eliminated
I wonder where they will have their technology for their iPhones or computers, or so many things that are produced only in Israel
Antisemitism can be only hate and jealousy of what we have accomplished

Utterly corrupt scum. Nay, vermin.
Tony Rice says
The U N is as bent as a corkscrew, and Guterres should be given the grand order of the boot and challenged wholesale meantime.

Is this like that Mr FAFO guy? Incidentally, where has he been lately?
gravenimage says
Gaza ‘journalist’ whom the UN reported killed by Israel is no longer dead, false claim remains on UN site

*Sickening* dishonesty. I have to say that neither of these things surprise, though.
