UN spokesperson destabilized by killer question: “Have we become so insensitive to the fact that Israel is murdering UN personnel that we no longer even mention it?”
Was it shame or cowardice, or perhaps fear, that made Farah Haq, the UN deputy spokesperson, stammer at a press conference that forced him to break the deafening, dishonorable UN silence on the new Israeli war crime?
A new heinous targeted assassination, which should arouse the indignation of the famous institution with universal scope that it represents, because it was committed, this time again, against an employee of an agency created within it: UNRWA, the office United Nations relief and works program for Palestine refugees in the Middle East.
It took just one killer question, the one loaded with innuendo, asked by Al Jazeera correspondent Gabriel Elizondo, to make Farah Haqh lose face. “Have we become so insensitive to the fact that Israel is killing UN personnel, 233 are dead today, that it is no longer even mentioned? “, he said sharply, loudly denouncing the summary execution of a member of UNRWA about whom the UN spokesperson had said nothing.
It was at the wheel of a car dressed in the colors of the organization that Israel literally put to death that this unfortunate UNRWA employee became the man to be killed.
