According to a Fox News report, Israel has officially called upon the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) to fire Khulood Badawi, the organization’s national officer, as a result of her extreme biased against Israel as is evident by her activities.

The complaint surrounds a Tweet made by Badawi last week in which she circulated a photo depicting a father in Gaza carrying his bloody child with the messages “Palestine is bleeding”, “another father carrying a child to a Gaza grave”, blaming the young child’s death on an IDF aerial targeted strike. A probe into the incident revealed that in fact, the child in question was killed in 2006, the result of a motor vehicle accident.

Not surprisingly, the Fox report details Badawi’s pro-Palestine loyalty and activities, as is evident from her blog, and despite this, the UN organization hired her.

Even less surprising in the OCHA response, stating that for now, Badawi remains employed but an internal probe is being conducted.
