JERUSALEM – Israel's prime minister says the Israeli military fired artillery shells at a U.N. compound in Gaza after militants opened fire from the location.

Ehud Olmert says Israeli forces "were attacked from there and the response was harsh

If your going to sleep with dogs!!!

So what’s the problem here? The next time Hamas uses a U.N. structure to fire at the Israelis, drop a Big Blu on it!

Should be no surpise considering the UN, and their past performances.

So, the “impartial” UN now harbors terrorists. They’ve been in bed with the enemies of Israel for years. Why does this not surprise me?

The UN should leave New York City! They need to get off OUR land!!!!!!!

[squidly]

Seems to me like it’s the UN that owes the explanation, not the Israelis.

The “Useless Nations”...What a waste of Manhattan land...

[Carley]

The UN folks are terrorists. Their behaviour around the world is a disgrace to say the least.

[jackv]

Sounds like hamas is desperately trying to find a place to hide where they can continue their attacks. Schools, hospitals, homes aren’t working so lets hide out at the UN!!
The UN has some explaining to do!
Good for Israel going after the thugs WHEREVER they are!!!

I’m just waiting to see how the US military is used in this area once Obama takes office. I’m afraid it’s gonna be ugly.

Indeed. Let’s not forget this little treasure:

Note that the armed terrorists you see using a UN ambulance as a getaway vehicle had just finished shooting 6 IDF soldiers to death.

[Evil Slayer]

Olmert better have a little talk with his Defense Minister who said it was a ``grave mistake.’’

[usar91B]

Go Israel!!

[catchem]

Wish the pig lovers would start shooting from the New York facilities....

Indeed. What’s going on here? Don’t these “compounds” have gates or locks or metal detectors or something that prevents them from being occupied by anybody who wishes?

[mvpel]

You’re assuming that the people running these compounds WANT to keep the terrorist killers out, or could keep them out even if they wanted to. Remember that the UN hates guns.

Hamas knows how to create target rich environments for maximum exposure, hoping to get sympathy from people who still believe they have a legitimate right to exist.

Anyone else recall Pali gunmen caught using UN ambulances as troop carriers a few days ago?

Ging, who was in the compound at the time, dismissed the Israeli account as "nonsense."

Ging said, "I was mysteriously not wounded in the shelling," in a phone call from his hotel in Cairo.

Yes, they do. Israel seems to keep going after the targets, irregardless. Wonder how long it will take the Palestinians to figure it's not working in their favor this time around.
