Default UN caught faking the plight of a little girl

https://www.unwatch.org/unrwa-fakes-...mbed-damascus/


GENEVA, June 2, 2017 – UN Watch today demanded that UNRWA chief Pierre Krahenbuhl apologize for using images of a girl in a bombed-out Syria building in a major global campaign to raise money for the organization by pretending the girl is a Gaza victim of Israeli actions.

Yet neither the girl nor the bombed-out building are in Gaza; it’s an old photo from Syria, dating apparently to 2014.

Here is UNRWA tweeting the original image in a January 2015 story on Syria:






This is where Trudeau (and many before him) are sending OUR tax dollars.

And? I mean yeah it's pretty disgusting, but what would you expect? Same reason Donald got elected, no one trusts the media, it's all fake news now.

Or is it the corrupt Quebec politician, siphoning money from taxpayers to enhance his own international standing that bothers you...not like that hasn't been happening for the last 100 years or anything.

At a certain point...well actually the 4.9 years between elections...we have no say in anything federal. Elected dictatorship.

Not surprised, the UN constantly does stuff like this. Did 2 tours in the Balkans under UN command, not much shocks me when it comes to that organization. Between the outright favouritism for one side over another, corruption, and abuse of locals by UN workers that was hushed up I have no use for this organization.

I don't see any difference with the UN and the Olympic Commitee. Both are full of low lives living on other people money.
