“...run out of virgins...?” Have you seen some of the charming palestinian “females”? Don’t worry about these people running out of virgins.

“The UN is already protesting saying the school was clearly marked with a UN flag. Maybe they were UN mortars too”

Why the devil isn’t the UN protesting the Hamas firing rocket from the school grounds?

Maybe because the headmaster moonlighted as rocket-maker:

EXCLUSIVE-Gaza headmaster was Islamic Jihad "rocket-maker"

(This is from the 5 May 2008, so they ought to have a new headmaster by now, but still...)

Even the AP reports:

"The Israeli army said its soldiers came under fire from militants hiding in the school and responded. It accused Gaza's Hamas rulers of "cynically" using civilians as human shields. Residents confirmed the account, saying militants were seen staging attacks from the area."

That spells war crime in my book. Now we don't expect terrorists to follow the Geneva rules of war. So, new tribunals, just a quick hanging if they are caught alive.

Why is the UN allowing terrorists to use their school to launch mortars?

Maybe the same reason that they get to use UN ambulances as troop carriers?

If the Arabs are going to continue to hide behind women and children, then the deaths of the women and children are on the Arabs. No self-respecting soldier of any nation would intentionally use civilians as shields.

Israeli schools are marked as well. Doesn't prevent Hamas from launching rockets at them.

Unbelievable! And the UN has the gall to complain, when they know that the school has been taken over my terrorist. The UN should have been investigating the initial video, commenced the dismissal of its managers and reallocated funds.

They of course are NOT soldiers. They are gangsters.

Then the UN should ENSURE it’s grounds are not used to launch attacks.

They had the exact same problem in Lebanon in 2006 where mortars were being fired right from under the nose of a UN observation post. After the Israeli’s fired counter battery and plastered the site killing some of the observers, the UN filed a complaint.

Once grounds are used to launch hostilities, their sanctity is lost. At that point it becomes just another grid coordinate on map.
