The UN’s most famous children’s relief fund just told an Israeli billionaire that his money isn’t good enough for them. Funny how the UN has no such scruples about employing Palestinian terrorists for UNRWA.
The UN children’s fund UNICEF has severed ties with an Israeli billionaire and financial backer due to his suspected involvement in building settlements in the West Bank, UNICEF said on Friday.
Lev Leviev, a real estate and diamond mogul who is one of the richest men in Israel, has supported UNICEF with direct contributions and indirectly by sponsoring at least one UNICEF fund-raiser.
He is chairman of Africa Israel Investments, a conglomerate whose units include Danya Cebus, which the Arab rights advocacy group Adalah-NY charges has carried out settlement construction, considered illegal by the United Nations.
UNICEF decided to review its relationship with Leviev after a campaign by Adalah-NY and found “at least a reasonable grounds for suspecting” that Leviev companies were building settlements in Palestinian territory, a UNICEF official said.
So let’s review: Members of a terrorists group that murders children? No problem, you can work for the UN. Build things in the West Bank? Keep your money. We’d rather let children starve, go without necessary vaccinations, and walk around shoeless and naked.
“I can confirm that UNICEF has advised Adalah in New York that it will not be entering into any partnerships or accepting financial contributions from Lev Leviev or his corporate people,” Chris de Bono, a senior adviser to the executive director of UNICEF, told Reuters.
Unbelievable. They won’t even take his money for the good of the world’s children. Way to go, UN. Make us think even less of you.
“Way to go, UN. Make us think even less of you.”
You wouldn’t think someone could sink below rock bottom but the UN always finds a way …
