Did the United Nations Set Up Civilians to be Killed to Discredit Israel?

Does the United Nations knowingly and willfully give material support to Hamas terrorists?

It is now a proven fact that Hamas terrorists were using a United Nations (UNRWA) school in the Gaza Strip as a position from which to shell Israel. When the Israeli Defense Forces returned the terrorists' fire, a shell struck the terrorists' booby traps and the resulting secondary explosions killed thirty or more civilians who had taken refuge at what they believed to be a noncombatant or neutral building.

The information that we have is that there was the launching of a mortar from the school's yard towards one of our forces. Our forces retaliated but it turned out that the school was booby trapped and as a result of our retaliation, everything flared up. There were a lot of secondary explosions from which probably those people were wounded.

It is therefore a fact that Hamas committed a war crime by using a noncombatant building (school) as a combat position. The only remaining question is the depth of the United Nations' complicity in Hamas' war crime against Palestinian civilians, and whether the UN went even further by setting up civilian refugees to be killed in a firefight.

does a duck quack?

Yes, they do. Also Hezbollah. And Hussein. And probably others whom we haven’t yet figured out. We need to start another organization as the UN has outlived its usefulness and become corrupt.

lets not forget that the UN was letting their ambulances be used to move Hamas weapons some time ago plus we have the journalists like at the BBC who are only giving one side to this .

the fact is Israel was being fired on every day and the media never mention it but now Israel says no more and go in then the media go to Gaza to give palestinian side and view plus video of them getting hurt.

the left wing the UN and the muslims are in this together and will soon take this country over unless many wake up in the west and those elected actually get some balls

I am not so sure they were ever really useful. Perhaps my public school history escapes me now, but, I can not think of a time when they were useful to the free societies of the world....

[manc]

why exactly do we have a UN

I mean it’s a nice job to have, nice building and get away in NY city for those in 3rd world countries but I mean come on it is useless.

It’s full of anti semitic., loving terrorists and a bunch of corrupt men and women

Now the head of the United Nations agency which runs these schools in Gaza is a man named John Ging. He now says that nowhere is safe for civilians in Gaza. Here's how he responded:

JOHN GING: It's horrific and it starts with the total absence of any safety. Nowhere is safe for civilians here in Gaza at the moment. They're fleeing their homes and they're right to do it, when you look at the casualty numbers - 600 dead, almost 3,000 injured here in Gaza.

I guess I am some what of a cynic.

It seems to me the questions that should have been asked of Mr. Ging are:

Was Hamas firing mortars from the UN school yard?

Did You know that Hamas was firing mortars from the UN school yard?

Did you make any attemp to stop Hamas from firing mortars for the UN school yard?

The questions asked of this UN political sock puppet are nothing but softball setup questions intended to illicit responses damaging to Israel.

I think this is a trick question.

The correct answer would be: the United Nations knowingly and willfully gives material support to several Islamic terrorist organizations, of which Hamas is one.

Under international law, Hamas murdered the civilians by making them unwilling parties to a mortar and rocket battle

Not really certain how 'unwilling' they were.

In the initial reports, those people 'had been allowed to go outside (into the school's courtyard) to get fresh air'.

More likely, they went out to clap & cheer; maybe even ro help the mortar crew.

Islamic terrorists have a history of committing horrific crimes against civilians and then blaming U.S. or allies of being the perps. This has been common for years. And that is why whenever there is a claim of shelling a school or hospital we must be very suspicious.

“Did the United Nations Set Up Civilians to be Killed to Discredit Israel?”

Only when they are not too busy setting up refugee camps in places like Rwanda and then abandoning the refugees they collect when the death squads arrive.

...as the UN has outlived its usefulness and become corrupt. It's the staging ground for a world government.
