Martin Griffiths, a British diplomat who formerly served as the U.N. special envoy for Yemen and now serves both as U.N. under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and as emergency relief coordinator, appeared Wednesday on Sky News to discuss humanitarian concerns in Gaza and Israel's war on terrorism.
After telling Sky News' Yalda Hakim that the situation in Gaza amounts to the worst humanitarian crisis he has observed in his 50-year career — apparently worse than the genocide of up to 3 million people by the Red Khmers in Cambodia or the civil war in Syria that claimed roughly 600,000 lives — the bureaucrat suggested an Israeli ground operation in Rafah, where Israeli captives were recently liberated, would be ruinous.
Hakim asked Griffiths, "In terms of Israel's plan to eliminate Hamas and have them never be part of any future negotiation when it comes to Gaza, do you think that's realistic?"
"I think it's very difficult," answered the U.N. official. "As you've said, I've worked with many, many different terrorist and insurgent groups. Hamas is not a terrorist group for us, as you know. It's a political movement."
Why do we fund an organization bent on our destruction?
