Fatah, the “moderate” ruling party of the Palestinian Authority, has admitted on live television that Hamas steals humanitarian aid and kills aid workers in the Gaza Strip. The admission, captured by Palestinian Media Watch, confirms what Israel has been saying all along — and goes further, stating that Hamas is not only responsible for endangering aid workers by hiding among them, but also asserts that Hamas has been killing aid workers directly. Palestinian Media Watch reported (original emphasis):

Major media needs resuscitation. Entrenched in political partisanship, left-wing big media is failing to tell many of the stories of our day. Too often, wittingly or otherwise, journalists miss important stories that will educate and inspire. Digging to find real stories takes work. Today, the preferred method of reporting is something akin to tabloid journalism — day after day, hawking rumors and gossip and spotlighting bungled lines in political speeches. This is the easy way to get words on a paper or to fill airtime, but the RatherGate scandal illustrates that this type of journalism polarizes and does not advance...

Such wall art would be unthinkable on a UN building anywhere else in the world. But the UN agency helping Palestinian refugees is not like any other, having provided education...
