VILE: Biden-Harris Want UN Employees Who Helped Hamas On October 7 To Be Immune From Prosecution
REVIVIM, ISRAEL - NOVEMBER 15: The immediate family of Liel Hetzroni, 12-years-old, and her aunt, Ila (Illios) Hetzroni who were killed at kibbutz Be’eri on October 7th by Hamas, grieve, during a funeral and farewell-ceremony at Kibbutz Revivim on November 15, 2023 in Revivim, Israel. According to reports, the two were taken with Liel’s twin brother Yanai and another relative, Aviya Hetzroni, into another person’s home on the kibbutz before they were all killed and the house was set on fire. Investigators have spent over 36 days trying to determine if Liel was missing, or dead, and although there is still no official identification of of her body, her family has decided to bury her personnel belongings instead along with her aunt. Kibbutz Be'eri was one of several communities in southern Israel attacked by Hamas on Oct. 7, which left an estimated 1,200 dead and around 240 kidnapped, according to Israeli authorities.

The Biden-Harris administration, which has consistently undermined the state of Israel during its year-long battle against the Islamist terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, is joining the United Nations to invoke immunity for UNRWA and its employees who aided and abetted Hamas in its murderous massacre of more than 1220 people in Israel last October 7.

In August, the UN admitted that nine UNRWA employees “may have been involved in the seventh of October attacks.” “Some of those employees were described as teachers and social workers — and included an Arabic instructor who was revealed to be a Hamas military commander that helped slaughter Kibbutz Be’eri,” the New York Post noted.

In June, more than 100 victims of the October 7 massacre filed a lawsuit against UNRWA, saying UNRWA “knowingly providing Hamas with the US dollars in cash that it needed to pay smugglers for weapons, explosives, and other terror materiel” and that Hamas money changers collected 10%-25% on transactions, “ensuring that a predictable percentage of UNRWA’s payroll went to Hamas.”

“In addition, the lawsuit said UNRWA ‘knowingly provided material support to Hamas in Gaza’ by allowing the terror group safe harbor in its faculties, including schools and other buildings used for weapons storage or command centers, based on the assumption that its premises ‘were inviolate’ and thus immune to attack by Israel,” The Times of Israel reported.

But the United Nations and the Biden-Harris administration want to whitewash the issue and make its employees immune from prosecution, declaring, “Since the UN has not waived immunity in this instance, its subsidiary, UNRWA, continues to enjoy absolute immunity from prosecution, and the lawsuit should be dismissed.”

“The plaintiff’s complaint does not present a legal basis for claiming that the United Nations waived its immunity,” Biden’s DOJ echoed. “Therefore, because the UN has not waived immunity in this case, its subsidiary, UNRWA, retains full immunity, and the lawsuit against UNRWA should be dismissed due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction.”

As Mark Goldfeder, director of the National Jewish Advocacy Center, and Eugene Kontorovich, professor at George Mason University Scalia Law School, noted:

Under the UN Charter, its officials are entitled to such “privileges and immunities as are necessary for the independent exercise of their functions.” The United Nations thus claims that immunity from civil suits for invading a country and massacring its citizens is “necessary” for the exercise of its functions — and President Biden and Kamala Harris apparently agree. If immunity for mass murder is necessary for the UN’s functioning, maybe it is time to rethink the UN entirely.
