Oddly, UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths not only admits that he does not consider Hamas to be a terrorist group, but he also admits that the Israelis did all they could, “to their credit,” to evacuate Gazans to a safe location. “Griffith did not mention the two hostages the IDF rescued from Rafah, proving that Hamas was carrying out their illegal activities within a heavily populated civilian area.”
According to @UNReliefChief Hamas is not a terrorist organization.
They are a political organization, who from time to time murders, rapes and kidnaps civilians to let off steam.

It is an atrocity that Palestinian civilians in Rafah (and beyond) are intentionally left by the UN to get killed in Israel’s defensive war against Hamas; the UN actually blocks all efforts by Israel to evacuate them, stating that it “would not participate in the forced evacuation of Palestinian civilians into safe zones.” This implies that the UN is in partnership with Hamas in the use of human shields — a tactic used by Hamas that the UN has persistently refused to acknowledge. This exposes the deep level of propaganda against Israel, which is much too sinister for most to grasp. The killing of Palestinian civilians stirs emotions and turns people against Israel, even when Hamas deliberately places them, particularly children, in harm’s way. The neighboring Islamic countries have also refused to admit Palestinian refugees.
News of Griffiths’ admission should be on front pages everywhere in the mainstream media across the globe, but it isn’t, since support for Hamas and the obliteration of the Jewish state “from the River to the Sea” is more prevalent than most would care to either admit or accept.
‘Hamas is not a terrorist group,’ says UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths,” by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Jerusalem Post, February 15, 2024:
UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths told a representative from Sky News on Wednesday that he did not consider Hamas to be a terrorist group.
Asked about the feasibility of Israel’s military goal to eliminate Hamas and disallow the terrorist group from having any governing say in Gaza, Griffiths responded “Hamas is not a terrorist group for us, as you know, it is a political movement. But, I think it is very very difficult to dislodge these groups without a negotiated solution; which includes their aspirations.
“I cannot think of an example offhand of a place where a victory through warfare has succeeded against a well-entrenched group, terrorist or otherwise.”
Speaking of Hamas’s October 7 attack, Griffiths said he had “total understanding” of the “trauma” it had caused Israel but that Israel would need to build a relationship with its neighbors regardless.
Discussions on military operations in Rafah
Griffiths also claimed that the United Nations was struggling to get aid into Gaza and that Palestinians had nowhere safe to evacuate to now that Israel had begun operations in Rafah.
During the interview, Griffiths insisted that pondering whether Israel would operate in Rafah was an issue that kept him up at night.
Asked if he was in discussions with Israeli officials over the issue of operations in Rafah, Griffiths responded that Israel “to their credit” had daily discussions with UN officials on the issue and that Israeli officials had asked the UN to be involved in evacuating civilians to a safe location.
Griffiths affirmed that the United Nations would not participate in the forced evacuation of Palestinian civilians into safe zones….

This piece of fecal matter wants us to think that he is an idiot but he understands the situation perfectly well. He and his kind is the reason that the UNRWA was able to assist HAMAS so well. He is apprising the rest of us that the UN is a simple piece of anti-Semitic defecation that is totally in bed with the terrorist but now that I think of it, the UN has become an Islamic mouthpiece for every type of horrific action from Muslims. A few examples are the slaughter of Christians throughout Africa (especially Nigeria and Sudan), the Asian Sub-continent and now Armenia where Muslims are excused because of so-called global warming.
If the UN had even a sub-particle of honesty and decency, it would loudly blast from the minarets and the microphones of the UN itself, the actions of the Chinese against Muslims but it has not and will not.

hamas is not a terrorist group. Where do the UN dredge up these pieces of crap that have important positions in that foul organisation. From that shithead Guterres down, the UN seem to have nothing but seriously bent and twisted creatures working for the useless organisation. Any human being that finds that hamas is OK and not scum of the earth terrorists has a seriously deficient, in a moral sense, mentality. The scum who compose hamas are as low as any human beings can fall.

Griffith is British and the Brits have a very solid core of antisemitic proArabist sentiment and groups in the UK.
However Europe allied with Islamic countries in the 1970s to challenge the power of America. Everything these Euros do is to protect this alliance, plus they really do hate Jews. They know what Palestinians are, but promised them Israel in return for islamic support.
They can’t admit it so they lie and pretend palis aren’t dangerous.

UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths “does not consider Hamas to be a terrorist group”.
So, what is his definition of a terrorist group?
