Gaza UN shelter attack 'totally unacceptable' - White House
BBC ^ | 7/31/2014 | Unattributed

Posted on 07/31/2014 11:47:34 AM PDT by mojito

The US has said the shelling of a UN shelter in Gaza is "totally unacceptable and totally indefensible".

In its strongest criticism yet of Israel's offensive in the Palestinian territory, the US - Israel's closest ally - also said the civilian casualties were "too high".

It urged Israel to do more to protect civilian life.

Israel says its offensive in Gaza is designed to defend its population from attacks by Palestinian militants.

The UN has also criticised Israel over the worsening situation in Gaza, saying people there are "facing a precipice".

Yet tunneling into Israel and murdering Israeli soldiers is totally awesome right UN??

The UN has knowingly allowed Hamas to use UN facilities to store and stockpile weapons. The UN supports Hamas. And so does the White House and its current crypto-Muslim occupant.

What else was near that shelter, that Israel was aiming at?
If Israel made a mistake, they will apologize.
Hamas never apologizes.

The UN has always hated Israel..they allow rockets in their “Schools” and when they are found, they are given right back to Hamas..I hear that these UN workers are actually helping Hamas fire the rockets

“It urged Israel to do more to protect civilian life.”

Have they ever urged Hamas to do more to protect civilian life?
Was there ever so much as a condemnation or strong letter to Hamas for indiscriminate missile fire into Israel?

I accept it.
I defend it.

In fact, I wish someone would take a crack at that building in New York. Who knows, if Ali Baba and his fellow islamics had rammed an unmanned plane (not counting themselves) into the U.N. Bldg, I might have given them a 'Like' on their facebook page...

I hope the Israeli people know that most Americans stand with them and not the evil regime that somehow is still in power here.

There is still continuing doubt as to whether it was actually Israeli forces that hit the shelter. Does anyone doubt that Hamas would stage a shelling of their own people in order to score propaganda points?

The enemy within has finally been forced out of hiding now that his plans to kill the jooos are exposed for all to see.

I guess it would be OK then to open a school near the WH, designate it a shelter, stock it with rockets, build explosives into the walls and dig tunnels under the WH from it.

Sure, it would be--if the time horizon was 12 years out. Let the GOP worry about it! /S

Obama must be upset that he spent all that money on the UN so it could stockpile missiles and mine its buildings and the Israelis are ruining his party ... or maybe not since Obama was spending our money and not his.

Hamas HAS to use human shield or else the Israelis would just blow up the rockets and kill the terrorists. Then how would the Palis attack innocent civilians?

Two things are at play here -

Hamas/Palis are automatically supported by the left because they are the “underdog”, no matter how evil they are - they are the weaker minority in this conflict, so the left supports them.

Hamas/Palis are automatically supported by the left because they seek to kill Jews, God’s people.

Booby-Trapped Explosives Built into Walls of UNRWA Clinic

This building could not have been mined with 175 pounds of explosives built into its walls, and it could not have been a base for tens of terror tunnels, without the direct complicity of the UNRWA people who worked there.

Here's a little question that I doubt we'll ever get an answer to: How much US taxpayer money went into financing the Hamas tunnel network? I'd sure like to know. Maybe Huma Abedin knows. Maybe somebody should ask. All I know is that it won't be someone at the Slimes or the Compost.

“the US - Israel’s closest ally”

Not while obama is president.

Netanyahu should just say publically that Obama is an incompetent idiot and he will deal with the next administration, that he is done with this one.

I’m just waiting for Barry to let a Jewish slur slip so the media can ignore it.

Perhaps it was explosives built right into the UNWRA wall that went off, as in the school where three Israeli soldiers were killed.

You’re trying to rationalize with a guy who freed 5 Taliban commanders, tried to push radical Islam on Egypt, and tried to defend Al-Qaeda when they killed a US Ambassador. And that’s just for starters. Then we can go into assisting Iran in building nukes, helping ISIS take over Iraq, opening the border so Islamos have a one way ticket into the country etc etc. The bottom line is we have a Islamo enemy agent in the White house, so you would have better luck trying to get Bin-Laden to support Israel than this puke. Bin-Laden only wishes he could have empowered and spread radical Islam like this Kenyan slimebag. And speaking of Bin-Laden: To date the world has seen not one scintilla of proof he is dead. Just why did Matt Bissonette say the guy he shot looked nothing like Bin-Laden? Why did Obama threaten him for writing his book? Why were members of Seal team 6 shot down in a helicopter right after? Why was “Bin-Laden” immediately buried at sea “in accordance with Islamic beliefs”. Is he kidding me? He is honoring that puke? It was all baloney to protect the SOB.
