Today Israel fired a on a UN School in Gaza killing 40, including some children. According to the IDF early reports suggest that there were mortars fired upon them from the school.

Good find. You do good work. Thanks.
We should seize all assets of the United Nations for aiding and abetting terrorists.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) told reporters that it gave Israel the locations of its installations in Gaza, including the elementary school that was bombed on Tuesday.
CNN quoted UNRWA director John Ging, as saying that "everybody here is terrorized by the situation [and] "there is no place that you can be safe if you're a civilian here."
That's why Israel is chasing Hamas out of there, isn't it? This kind of crap goes on daily and it has to stop. Cast Lead is the only way to do it.
Why is the UN relevant? I am assuming the only reason the headquarters in is NY is so that we know what all these worldwide freaks are up to, i.e. through eavesdropping. Is it worth it?
And....
"Spare and protect innocent civilians whenever possible, but: do not let the prospect of civilian casualties interfere with ultimate mission accomplishment. This is a fight to protect the Israeli people, and we must do so whatever the cost, or the price in Israeli lives may be devastating. In a choice between them, and us the choice is always us."
Now....why is it that the US can't figure this out, but Isreal can?
At least 30 people were reportedly killed and 53 wounded in an explosion in a UN-run school in the town of Jabalya in the northern Gaza Strip, according to Palestinians. The IDF issued a statement saying the school grounds were used by terrorists to fire mortar shells at the troops.
The infantrymen returned mortar shell fire into the school grounds, the army said. Defense officials told The Associated Press that booby-trapped bombs in the school triggered the secondary explosions which killed scores of Palestinians on the site.
Channel 10 reported that the military had a video filmed by a drone proving that the school was used by terrorists to fire mortars at IDF troops.
At least 30 Gazans killed in IDF strike on UN school
Palestinian officials had initially said that 40 people were killed in the attack, but UN sources put the number at 30 killed and 55 wounded.
An IDF spokesman said that troops had fired mortar rounds at the school, after militants barricaded inside shot mortar shells at the Israeli forces.
