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!

[southlake_hoosier]

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

[wk4bush2004]

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.

[Dallas59]

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

[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!!!

[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....

[sarasota]

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.

[M203M4]

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

[<1/1,000,000th%]

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.

[walford]

Note the title of the AP article you linked is “Israeli forces shell UN headquarters in Gaza” and not “HAMAS militants use UN compound to fire at Israeli forces who return fire shell UN headquarters in Gaza”

We don’t learn that part until the 5th paragraph. No one is asking HAMAS for an apology, BTW.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Are they sure it wasn’t the UN staffers?

[mainepatsfan]

So apparently the UN has no problem with someone using their location as a firing platform but they do have a problem if someone dares to shoot back.

[PEACE ENFORCER]

Best part of this was the food getting blown up!! let them eat dirt.... hahahaha

[NY Attitude]

and from the AP as reported on Yahoo Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the military fired artillery shells at the U.N. compound after Hamas militants opened fire from the location. Three people were wounded. "It is absolutely true that we were attacked from that place, but the consequences are very sad and we apologize for it," he said. "I don't think it should have happened and I'm very sorry."

[Dead Corpse]

It'd be nice to get some video footage of the incident.

"There were no Gazan terrorists shooting from our UN building!"

"Oh yeah? What are the guys in this video doing then? See 'em there? Just before our shells blow them back to Allah."

[agrace]

Of course they did. Just like their ambulances are used for terrorist acts and arms transfer, just like they refused to release video they took of Hezbollah kidnapping IDF soldiers. The UN is in collusion with Hamas et al.

[Polarik]

I wish the bleeding-hearts in the Israeli government would quit apologizing for Hamas butchers who commit a war crime every time they fire from civilan areas. The Israeli PM should have said, "Hamas violated every tenet of the Geneva Convention by launching attacks from civilian areas -- these are war crimes -- at Israeli civikians -- another war crime. Not only is Hamas responsible, that is exactly what they want to do -- cause civilian casualties to blame on Israel. There can be no ceasefire until Hamas unconditionally surrenders."

The stupid media and the Arab world interpret the outpouring of sympathy as culpability, and the AP immediately headlines the story as "Israel admits targeting civilians."

the World cannot get it through their thick skulls that causing civilian casualties is exactly what Hamas told them they would do, over and over again.

Quit friggin' apologizing, Israel, when Hamas sing, dance and pass out candy in the streets when innocent Israeli civilians are killed.
