Perhaps the most difficult moment in the recent Gaza war occurred when the reports filtered out that Israel had bombed an UNRWA school killing 43 people, some of them students. The UN and the world media blasted Israel, saying that she deliberately targeted the school. Others, were quick to point out Hamas' record of using UN Schools as human shields, firing from the buildings so Israeli soldiers would injure/kill the schools inhabitants when returning the fire.
The truth is, both sides were wrong. The UN School bombing was the Muhammad al Dura moment of the Gaza war. Israel didn't stike the school. But it did strike close enough to the school for Hamas to claim that the school WAS hit. The comdemnations were unjustified, but like al Dura, the world believed and still believes the worst. In this case, the Fantasy of the powerful Israeli military, striking an innocent school building.
Yesterday the UN finally admitted the truth. The question is, why did they take so long?.....

Mohammed al-Dura wasn’t killed either, according to subsequent news stories. If he’s still alive, he’s probably a terrorist now.
His time is coming though.
