More tunnels under al-Shifa hospital: an embarrassment to the Western media and an indictment of NGOs
Maybe I’m just cynical, but all the reports I saw in the liberal media, which includes the
Washington Post, the
Wall Street Journal, and the
Guardian, seemed positively gleeful that Israel couldn’t instantly uncover all the tunnels that the IDF claimed were under al-Shifa Hospital. If they couldn’t, the papers’ implications went, then Israel would have done yet another bad thing: attacked the hospital on assumptions that turned out to be false.
I wasn’t that worried, though,
because for at least a decade the press, foreign or Anglophone, have realized that al-Shifa was being used as an enormous human shield, with command headquarters under the hospital, and tunnels that linked to the many kilometers of other tunnels in Gaza.
Finally, here’s a long excerpt from the
NGO Monitordetailing how the Non-governmental organizations were complicit in rejecting the claim that al-Shifa Hospital was a Hamas facility and command post. Many of these NGOs seem to me to be “useful idiots”, denying what everybody else knows in their desire to help Palestinians. That is, of course, a humane and worthy desire, but if they try to fulfill it by hiding the activities of terrorists, or denying what they know, then they are complicit in terrorism. So is the
UNRWA, not formally an “NGO” but an agency of the United Nations that foments hatred and division (they’re well known for producing textbooks full of Jew hatred that are used by Palestinian school children) and, in fact, employs members of Hamas.
I’ve concluded that these NGOs and agencies like UNRWA were
not ignorant of Hamas’s activities in al-Shifa, but knew very well about them but ignored them. How could they not? Everybody that worked in these hospitals knew the situation. ‘
This means that these organizations are complicit in the terror, Jew hatred, and death purveyed by Hamas. Here’s a list of them and how they denied Hamas’s activities in not only al-Shifa hospital, but other Gazan hospitals as well. The text from
NGO Monitor is indented.

I long ago stopped donating to MSF, even after
Kelly Houle and I gave them over $10,000 that we realized from selling my multiply-autographed and illuminated copy of
Why Evolution is True. Now I really regret having supported them. I’ve heard that MSF won’t employ Israeli doctors, either, and I wrote them asking whether that was true. I never got an answer. I would never give them another cent. Readers can make up their own minds about supporting this and other organizations that may be complicit with terrorism.
