While the UN devotes its human rights operations to the demonization of the democratic state of Israel above all others and condemns the United States more often than the vast majority of non-democracies around the world, the voices of real victims around the world must be heard.
U.N. Obsession with Condemning
Israel Instead

One of the women released from Hamas captivity in the November hostage deal revealed for the first time on Army Radio Thursday that she had met Yarden Bibas and Ofer Kalderon from her kibbutz while down in the tunnels where they were all being held.
Adina Moshe told interviewer Ilana Dayan that she had walked to an area that was completely dark and found the two Nir Oz residents caged in pens, like animals.
“I asked, ‘Why are you in a pen?’” she recounted. “They said they didn’t know. When I asked if they had confronted Hamas – it turned out that they had.”
Moshe said she had cultivated a friendly relationship with her captors, knowing that it could help her group, and after waiting two days she approached her guards’ commander.
“I told him that I’d heard voices in Hebrew, and I told him, ‘They are from Nir Oz.’ He asked me, ‘How do you know?’ I told him that he should bring them to be with us, and after two days he brought them to us for an hour or so, and then brought them back to the cage. The next day he brought them to us for two hours.”
Bibas told her that he hoped his wife and two young boys had not been kidnapped as well, she said, since he had left them in the safe room to confront the terrorists who had broken into their home. “All the terrorists” in his home had taken him away, first to a gathering point in the kibbutz and then to Khan Younis, she said he told her.
The video of Hamas terrorists abducting his wife Shiri, nine-month-old Kfir and four-year-old Ariel, who are being held close by their obviously terrified mother, is one of the most infamous of all the footage of hostages brutally being taken by the terrorists to the Gaza Strip.
Moshe added that she had tried to find out if the three were being held by Hamas or other terrorists, and all she was told by the guards was that they would try and find out.
In late November, Hamas claimed that Shiri, Ariel and Kfir had been killed in an Israeli air strike, but has never provided proof. The family remains committed to the belief that the whole family is still alive in captivity...
