UN Investigating “False Photo” Tweeter
March 19, 2012 14:39 by Alex MargolinThat position was confirmed by OCHA spokeswoman Amanda Pitt, who told Fox News that Badawi would continue working at OCHA while the organization undertook an internal review to determine if any action would be taken.
Meanwhile, Badawi returned to her Twitter account for the first time in six days to post a “correction” of her earlier tweet but not an apology or remorse for spreading lies. She also failed to acknowledge that the photo was false, depicting a girl who had been hurt in an accident, not by Israel.
Both the UN and Badawi make a point to separate Badawi’s work as a UN official and her personal Twitter account. However, the separation is disingenuous since Badawi’s work involves reporting on alleged human rights abuses in the Palestinian territories.
How can the UN trust reports filed by an individual who has spread false information on Twitter, and only moved to correct the record six days later, long after the damage had been done and only after reports of internal inquiries surfaced? And how can the public trust reports published by the UN branch that employs individuals who have proven to spread propaganda?
The UN can’t trust Badawi, and the public can’t trust reports from OCHA as long as Badawi remains an employee. That’s why the UN has no alternative but to fire Badawi immediately.
We played by the rules by sending people to the UN contact page, but when their site only allowed just three complaints an hour, we had to get their attention by other means.
Sign our petition to let the UN know you refuse to allow the issue to go without a resolution. The use of Twitter to propagate false and harmful images is a relatively new weapon in the hands of Israel’s enemies, but it is no different than the use of any other medium in the need for honesty and credibility. The reliability of the UN rests on swift action to remove a propagandist from its ranks.

Well, the only positive thing we can say about Khulood Badawi’s irresponsible false tweet is that, for once, people can’t use that old vicious chestnut about “the Jews controlling all the media”!

I am Ms. Badawi. I have no journalistic integrity – I will use any photo that will invoke emotion whether or not it has any relevance to the story. I’m not even sorry that I was caught in this instance because it doesn’t matter the circumstances behind the photo – i HATE the state of Israel. It can do no right. Israelis are not people too. They have no side of the story to tell.
Hot debate. What do you think?

Annette you oot to be ashamed of yourself, But I understand why you aren’t because your God say’s it is alright to lie about anything that will make him look good.
My God tells me to love those that hate me, He dosen’t tell me to Kill those that don’t believe the way I do, I wish you would sit down in a room by yourself & Pray & ask Jesus!!
Pray with all your heart & soul, Jesus why do I in my belief have to hate & kill the so called Infadell’s Christian’s & Jew’s when they do their best to show love towards me? PLEASE Give the all Loving God a chance to come into your life. Happy praying God will truly bless you if you give him a chance
Hot debate. What do you think?

Leonard when speaking to Jews leave all that Jesus stuff out. We can barely tolerate the incessant racism and prostalyizing of your religion which is a copy of ours. Ours of course is better since we have no false G-d’s.
Look up Rabbi AKIBA he was the actual person who said and did everything your pundits 200 hundred years after the fact wrote up as having been said and done by the kid who was born in a manger.
We don’t lie. We speak the truth. And for someone whose religions says judge not lest ye be judged. Look at what you wrote. Read Corinthians you really need a refresher course in your own religion.

First of all Ms Tante Laeh, I was replying to the comment addressed by Annette, as stated below

So Tante Leah, ? Or Annette,? or Ms. Badawi,? or who ever wrote the above. The only ones that if, a Religion dissagrees with, calls it racism are the muslim Brotherhood.
The God that I serve tells me to love those that hate me.
Mathew 5; 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
The Israelies you say you hate so much, are, the first to help you in your time of need. In 2005 they ghave up the Gaza Strip for peace, and now they recieve Rocket attacks every day in thanks.
Like I said Pray

Ms badawi,
How come you have neveer showed pictures of the rockets sent from gaza, that have fallen in Israel lately…unprovoked!
May be it is just bcz negociations behind the scenes have resumed and the arabs in their rabid hate of the jews will have nothing to do with the Jewish State, so firing rockets on peaceful civilians, children, women, etc…is the only indecent things you arabs know to do.
You should be gratefull that Israel takes into their hospital your pitiful sick, treats them for free AND without jugement of who they are.
I respect and admire the jewish people and am sorry they give so much work to the gazaiens who can’t make a go of their own destiny. hate is your definition.
Please resign before you are fired, cover your head, arms legs, and face and go marry one of these famous arab male who would beat you daily, will keep you barefeet and behind doors.
EVA

I don’t give a dam how much you hate us, it’s a level of your stupidity so don’t impose this on other monkeys as you are. Unfortunately when somebody hate somebody they have a brain damage and must be cured by the mental hospitals!!! You have a right, especially as a journalist, to post only materials but you don’t have a right, especially for the money that tax payers paying you (UN is a nonprofit organization, that must be funded by all countries, it means same as by the tax payers money), in any way to antagonize any propaganda that creates heathenness and creates terrorists funded by maniacs as Axmaxedjuns and Komaynees!!!
Just for your expression that you hate a state of Israel and Jewish people placing on you professional responsibility in breaching the code of the professional conducts!!! No common sense law can be allowed expressions like yours!!! It only idiots that financially supported by Axmahedjusns or Komeynees can act as you do!!! But any media, especially UN can’t allow you to explore it publicly. UN actions and code of conducts must be investigated truly to insure that there is no corruption by suckers as Axmahedjusns or Komeynees…??? It’s a common sense that more you hate us, the more you kill your kids…!!! Hope you can get the common sense of your stupidity in my meaning…!!! Before I will even see the picture, it means just by the nature of your comment, your journalist license must be suspended and you must be prosecuted for a crime against humanity!!! It doesn’t matter who are professionals, whether Palestinian or Jewish code of conduct is a code of conduct and if the UN, till this dates don’t have those regulations it’s a shame to the UN. People then don’t need to have the UN!!!

I read the post by Annette differently. Annette is not Mrs. Badawi. Annette does not herself condone what Mrs. Badawi has done. Annettee is really saying what a nasty unethical, dishonest, person Mrs Badawi’s is. Mrs Badawi is only interested in her agenda and couldn’t care about anyone else.

This representative of the UN falsified the picture data to enrage and provoke hatred against Israel. The anti-Israeli world campaign is based on lies. There is no justification to continue the charade. Is common knowledge, easily verifiable the fact that in Israel the assumed Palestinians are not victimized. The Arabs and Socialists must now give up this shameful patroness against an innocent State and innocent people around the world.
Khulood Badawi must be prosecuted and the UN must fired her in clear terms. She elaborated and publicized a complete fabrication for the purpose. Miss Badawi used her fake image to blame Israel.The incitement against Israel and Jews engaged in their demonization is a mistaken incitement. I wrote it here: I think it’s important to show how wrong is the actual vitriolic campaign even in American Universities. We need to stop all this despicable dangerous antisemitic wave. Despite Soros network, Socialist and Islamic donations.

Uh … I think Annette, a.k.a. Ms. Badawi, was JOKING! She was mockingly showing us what that nasty Ms. Badawi was thinking when she spread her vicious lies. Annette doesn’t support her. Of course we have to strongly defend Israel, but losing our sense of humor won’t help! Right, Annette?

Annette, Schmanette. Any debate with the likes of her is a sheer waste of time. There are countless times when the Arabs have be caught lying through their teeth or showing doctored photos. “Dead” victims have fallen off stretchers in front of a camera and have miraculously climbed back on, “tens of thousands” of women and children killed in Jenin, turned out to be 53, mostly terrorists. The innocent victims were the result of the choice of combat location by the Arabs. It would require a thick book to register all the Arab lies, hoaxes and doctored photos by Arab propagandists, but what!? They couldn’t care less. One minute after exposure they’ll concoct another lie. They have no shame, especially when a corrupt and redundant institute like the UN caters to all the whims of dictators, autocrats, theocrates, rapists, pedophiles, butchers and the rest of the scumbags of human society. Just don’t bother with the likes of Badawi “Schmannette”. She is a descendant of one of the most backward, primitive, retarded and bloodthirsty people on this planet. She enjoys seeing normal people squirm. I personally bet she will not be fired. No one in the UN dares annoy Arabs/Muslims.

And which of the honest folks at the dishonest United Nations is investigating this lying slug? Too bad the PM and the FM will not engage in similar activities to humiliate Badawi with photoshopped photos of him in bed with a goat. Or maybe they don’t need to photoshop the photo.
