Masked gunmen have attacked a UN summer camp being set up for children in the Gaza Strip, UN officials say.

The attackers burned tents and destroyed other equipment after tying up a guard.

They also left a letter threatening the head of the UN Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa), John Ging.

No group has claimed the overnight raid, but observers suspect it is the work of Islamic extremists opposed to such camps for boys and girls.

"The armed men torched the camp, which contained recreational equipment and (plastic) swimming pools, and completely destroyed it," Unrwa spokesman Abu Hasna told journalists.

The camp, due to open next month, is one of dozens of beach facilities set up by the UN offering a summer programme of arts, sport and other activities for some quarter of a milllion children in the Gaza Strip.

We cannot help any country infected by Islam. It is a disease with a 100% fatality rate. Every child born in Afghanistan is already dead.

Religion of peace doing what they do best to their own. Call Hitlery and Zero, their friends aren’t behaving. Bad press for their allies who hate Jews.

Now hold on, there are many things which might incite such behavior...like being a returned soldier, sailor, corpsman, or marine for example...

Aren’t they cute?

Question of the day: Why is the West completely paralyzed in the face of terrorism and bullying?

Again, and again, and again... No way to rationally deal with primitives. When will they (the politicos) start to figure out that simple truth?
