The United Nations‘s continued ties to terrorism in Gaza should be more than enough proof that the organization is a net negative for the world.

As part of the most recent “ceasefire” that Hamas will inevitably break at some point, the terrorist organization released hostages Romi Goren, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher. Those three told an Israeli news outlet that they were held in a U.N. refugee camp at some point during their imprisonment. The U.N. Relief and Works Agency doesn’t police these refugee camps, but allows Hamas to run them as the terrorists see fit.

That is one part of the problem. In the absolute best-case scenario, the U.N. is sponsoring Hamas-run camps with no oversight whatsoever, to the point that Hamas is allegedly keeping Israeli hostages in those camps. This isn’t exactly a surprise: this would fit perfectly with Hamas’s use of Palestinians as human shields, especially with the terrorist group knowing that the U.N. would throw a global tantrum if Israel went into one of these camps to retrieve the hostages itself.

This also fits the U.N.’s conduct in and around Gaza. It was revealed by Israeli forces that UNRWA’s headquarters in Gaza was housing a Hamas military compound underneath. At best, UNRWA was so naïve and unaware of its surroundings that staffers asked no questions about the wires going down through the floor that were powering Hamas’s facilities. At worst, UNRWA was silently complicit in Hamas’s operations by allowing the group to operate under it as a human shield without saying anything.

You can guess which situation is more likely given UNRWA’s track record, which includes employing multiple terrorists who took part in the Oct. 7 attacks. The United Nations itself confirmed that UNRWA employees aided in the attacks and helped keep Israelis hostage. All of this is before you consider that the U.N. through UNRWA perpetuates Palestinian victimhood by declaring them all perpetual refugees, providing a twisted moral justification for their terrorism.

Time and time again, the U.N. proves that it is a pro-terrorist organization. It brings nothing to the global table but intentional and unintentional aid and cover to terrorists. The U.N. cannot be reformed or repaired. It must be torn down and uprooted before any changes can be considered, and before any more U.S. taxpayer dollars are wasted.
