Pierre Krahenbuhl, Commissioner-General of UNRWA, the UN body tasked with aiding "Palestinian refugees," admitted on Wednesday that Hamas terrorists hid weapons at UNRWA facilities during their terror war against Israel last summer.
"We were the ones who found the weapons caches in our facilities during inspections," Krahenbuhl told Yedioth Aharonoth in an interview. "The reason that the whole world knew about it is that we told them."
Krahenbuhl's reference is to at least three separate occasions in which rockets were found at UNRWA facilities. After the first finding of rockets at an UNRWA school, UNRWA workers reportedly called Hamas to come remove them.
Likewise, a booby-trapped UNRWA clinic was detonated, killing three IDF soldiers. Aside from the massive amounts of explosives hidden in the walls of the clinic, it was revealed that it stood on top of dozens of terror tunnels, showing how UNRWA is closely embedded with Hamas.
The UNRWA head continued, saying, "we knew the revelation would lead to harsh responses against us in Israel, but try to imagine what would happen if we weren't the ones who published it. The act of publishing proves we aren't ready to allow it and show restraint."

“After the first finding of rockets at an UNRWA school, UNRWA workers reportedly called Hamas to come remove them. “
Someone not only did that with a straight face, but someone else wrote about it as if it were no thing at all.
I just don’t have the words to describe how much wrong in in that sentence.
I hope conservatives will work to get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.
How do you account for the fact that the United Nations Charter follows the format of the Russian Constitution of 1936 rather than the format of the (Covenant of the) League of Nations? Would you feel there was any significance in the fact that the general secretary for the organization which drew up the charter was Alger Hiss? …The UN was always the USSR writ large over its member states, and was always designed to subvert them.

Excellent
Yeah, Hamas has EOD teams? Who knew?
Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as one-world government with its own independent armed forces.It really speaks to the goals of liberals as to why we continue to fund this extension of the USSR past the alleged death of same; it is also the source of the OWG theories.
(Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the UN as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other, as they are now doing in the Congo.) …
Government without elections, accountability, and freedom to pursue its own agenda. Luckily its armed forces are mostly wussy peace keepers that bugger out at the first sign of trouble (for example, Sharm el Sheikh in 1967).
“Bugger” out = Freudian slip?
If we only had more like Charles Lichenstein. This exchange took place on Sept. 19, 1983:
...the Soviet delegate, Igor I. Yakovlev, said the ban on landing “raises the question of whether the United Nations should be in the United States.”
A furious Mr. (Charles) Lichenstein replied that if member states felt “they are not being treated with the hostly consideration that is their due,” they should consider “removing themselves and this organization from the soil of the United States.”
“We will put no impediment in your way,” he continued, “The members of the U.S. mission to the United Nations will be down at the dockside waving you a fond farewell as you sail off into the sunset.”
Britishism, though I’m American born and raised. American slang has lost its quality and texture in the past few decades, so I go to the British for my more colorful phrases.
Still has the ghey connotation over there as well.
And the blue helmets do like them young, yet worse.

Israel too.
“The act of publishing proves we aren’t ready to allow it and show restraint.”
This is so much horseshit. During the fracas, they denied and denied.
Can anyone show whee they reported it to the world back then?
I saw some photos of it that the Israelis published at the time when they discovered it.
Only a blind/deaf idiot wouldn’t have known about the weapons and tunnels from the very first one brought in/dug.
They’re liars, like you said, and worse, there acquiescence to Hamas and covering up for them led to the murders of innocent Jews, and when you think about it, Palestinians, too...
They should be arrested, tried and sentenced for that.
They didn’t. Basically, his statement was that denying it would make them look bad in the face of published reports by Israel documenting it. They are covering their asses and admitting it.
