UN Names Hamas Fan Club President Of Human Rights

In a plot twist that feels like it was cooked up in the UN’s own “How to Lose Credibility and Alienate Everyone” manual, the Human Rights Council is about to hand the mic to Zeina Jallad, a Palestinian academic who moonlights as Hamas’s PR agent—because nothing says “human rights” like appointing a defender of a group that turned a music festival into a massacre scene. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, ever the masters of bureaucratic sleight of hand, have managed to slip through a mandate so absurd it makes Kafka look like an optimist: sanction regimes? No, let’s protect them, silence their critics, and weaponize human rights rhetoric to paint a genocide-fueling terror group as misunderstood “resistance.” Critics—Israel’s Foreign Ministry among them—call it outrageous, exposing the UN’s talent for turning moral clarity into diplomatic fog. Meanwhile, Jallad’s strategy is classic villain rebranding: massacres become “revolts,” rockets become protests, and the blockade turns into a heartfelt grudge match. It’s the kind of theater where irony takes a backseat and absurdity drives the UN’s moral bus straight off a cliff, leaving the rest of us to wonder if “human rights” now just means “work your connections, ignore the bodies.” Bravo!
