EXACTLY. These Terrorists use so-called “safe” areas to launch rockets. All Israel needs for a targeting list is a U.N. list of “civilian-safe locations”.

[libh8er]

I saw that, and also the one where they jump into a UN ambulance and drive off.

democrats.com rules completely ban any discussion of Israel/Palestine issues from either side for obvious reasons, they got both the Jewish AND Muslim vote. Democrats need our support on both sides in demanding Obama (who is hiding on this) take sides:

Contact DEMOCRATS FOR ISRAEL LOS ANGELES and tell them you are upset that the head of their party (Obama) has not shown his outrage of the criminal terrorist activities by Hamas on Israelis (are they for Israel or not??) :

DEMOCRATS FOR ISRAEL LOS ANGELES: and you can email DFI at: dfi_la@hotmail.com

Then tell our liberal peace-loving Bush hating brothers and sisters at DU that you are outraged at the terrible unprovoked atrocities by Israel who are occupying a another territory.

Doesn’t matter, the school was used on purpose. They knew the IDF would trike it. It was designed to provoke a reaction from the world community. They could have a video of Osama Bin Laden walking around the compound and it still wouldn’t matter. All the headlines read “UN SCHOOL STRUCK”.

These slap d*ck terrorists know the media, and they know it well...

was clearly marked with a U.N. flag

In my mind, that's a bullseye ;-)

The real bull's eye is on 1st ave and 42nd where terrorist co conspirators hide.

IDF: Bodies of Hamas militants found among fatalities in strike on UN school (Haaretz)

Busted!

[verklaring]

"So far we've not had violations by militants of our facilities," he said.

While somewhat dated - Oct 2007 the following video from the IDF youtube site demonstrates the lie.

[Logical me]

A U.N. official in Gaza said a school where dozens of Palestinians were killed by tank shells on Tuesday was clearly marked with a U.N. flag

Well they tell the Hamas rats to get the hell out of the school or take down the UN flag. What rotten hypocrites. Kick the UN the hell out of this Country.

[DB]

And no mention that Hamas uses the UN flagged areas for cover to launch attacks from... Instead the UN sees nothing and hears nothing... Unless of course if there's Israeli incoming in response to what was coming out...

[Grunthor]

The UN has a history of running interference for muslims’ military operations. I believe it was in the Israel/Hexbollah war 2 years ago that a UN outpost was hit by IDF fire and then it was found out that the outpost was hiding the entrance to tunnels used by the terrorists.

[BenLurkin]

bump!

[MrB]

Another thread:

confirmed that Hamas had wired the “school” with explosives and that caused the secondary explosions when the IDF fired back

[texmexis best]

Golly, wouldn’t it be prudent to cancel school until the war is over?

Maybe turn it over to Hamas and clearly mark it as they did?

[devistate one four]

well marked with smoke from mortar tubes

[Girlene]

Here's a link, 30 reported killed in blast at UN school

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. According to the IDF, among the dead were members of a Hamas launching cell, including operatives Immad Abu Askar and Hassan Abu Askar. .......

[ArrogantBustard]

Any actually innocent palestinians who want to be safe would be well advised to get the heck out of any city or town. Pack up their tents and go camping on the beach or something until this is over. Hamas just wants to used them for shields ... Israel doesn’t seem to be playing that game, so get the heck out of the way.

[red-dawg]

[RJS1950]

Yeah, and I can clearly mark a tank as an ambulance. That long tube is the anal sabo injector specially designed for muslims.

[mike-zed]

Has anyone pointed out to Hamas and their UN apologists that the Israeli border across which Hamas indiscriminately fired rockets at civilians was also clearly marked?
