She Stood Up for the Truth. Then the UN Fired Her.



“It’s instructive that this never happened for any other war. Not for Ukraine, not for Sudan, not for DRC [Democratic Republic of the Congo], not for Myanmar,” she said. “The focus was always Israel.”

“This was a war,” she said. “Palestinians were killing Israelis, Israelis were killing Palestinians. It needs to be treated like other wars. In other wars, we don’t run and take one side and then keep going on and on about that one side. . . . By taking one side, condemning it every day, you completely lose the essence of what the UN was created for.”



Meanwhile, the social-media pages of Nderitu’s office were being inundated with threatening messages. “They started sending me the threats on my phone,” Nderitu said. “And then they even started threatening me on the UN email.”

“Filthy Zionist rat, you will burn in hell forever for supporting the rape and torture and murder of little kids by your bestial masters,” read one such email.
