UN Blasts Israel for Not Sharing Iron Dome with Hamas
Arutz Sheva ^ | Aug 1 , 2014 | Elad Benari

Posted on 08/01/2014 1:26:28 PM PDT by LeoWindhorse

In what may be one of the most ridiculous accusations yet against Israel, the UN's top human rights official condemned Israel on Thursday for failing to share the Iron Dome anti-missile system with Hamas, Breitbart reports.

According to the report, human rights commissioner Navi Pillay condemned Israel’s military actions to stop Hamas rocket attacks against Israeli civilians, telling reporters that Israel was “deliberately defying International Law... in a way that may constitute war crimes.”

"There is a strong possibility that international law has been violated, in a manner that could amount to war crimes,” Breitbart quoted Pillay as saying following a meeting of the UN Human Rights Council on Gaza.

She backed this statement by citing Israel’s refusal to share its Iron Dome ballistic missile defense shield with the "governing authority" of Gaza.

Pillay criticized the U.S. for helping Iron Dome, adding, "No such protection has been provided to Gazans against the shelling.”

What’s with the UN knowing Hamas weapons are being stored in schools with young children? Let’s talk about hauling those idiots before a court of law - or just shooting them...

Imagine if the UN was around before the end of WWII and they demanded the US share their atomic technology with Japan before (or even after!) we dropped the bombs.

If only.

Let’s try to imagine what the history books are going to say about people like Pillay.

Sorry, Navi, you don't get to decide what is "International Law."
Even the U.N. can't create and impose an "international law" on nations that are not officially signatories of the law in question.

I don't believe that there are any terrorist organizations that subscribe to any international law. So they ignore it.
But it is then absurd for them to claim their victims are violating international law."

Strange things those "international laws." Never is the official title cited. It's like trying to find Bigfoot; and I doubt seriously that Navi Whatshername has a clue what "international law" she is referring to.

“So I guess it wasn’t fair that we didn’t share the atomic bomb with Japan, either. Of course, we did. Sort of.”

Hay, we let them test it for results.

IDF should blow away every UN facility found in Gaza . Give them a 10 hr deadline to evac before total distruction . And how about calling for a worldwide anti-UN movement to come forward ? No cover for these evil cretins .

Actually, I think GAZA is at least 60% responsible for Israel having to build Iron Dome. So Gaza should have to reimburse Israel for the cost.

Israel should never give another schekel to the Pals. Permanently chop off the electricity too. Zero power & zero cement . F them all . Let them spend the rest of their worthless lives living in the rubble . Maybe they’ll get the message and leave . Or commit suicide en masse.

The US and the UN should cut them off too.

Where did they get $2 billion to pour into tunnels? It’s got to be the money we are giving them. There should be some serious investigations of where the money went and some prosecutions.

Reagan was a real blessing to have as a President. It was extremely rare when he said or did anything that didn’t make complete sense. All I can think of is the immigration deal (which was negotiated in good faith with lying dems) and this star wars technology give-a-way offer (which never happened and was just talk) that is about all I can think of on the negative side over eight years. Incredible.

William Buckley was sooooo right in the 70s, when he called the UN "the world's most expensive insane asylum"!

The UN is a perfect organization for protecting dictators and thugs. In a natural world setting, when dictators go ‘too far’ in abusing their people a neighboring country senses the weakness and knows they can go in without much resistance from the people. The UN stops that natural form of war.

Also the UN is incentivized up to reward horrible excuses for ‘leaders’... Check out the ‘Human Rights’ group - filled with filth from North Korea to China, Cuba,Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Mexico,Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and United Arab Emirates...

~That reminds me of one of my few disagreements with the late President Reagan. Every time he would mention sharing Star Wars technology with the Soviets my blood would boil. Great President but even Reagan had a few quirks~
quirks~

To be honest, there wasn’t any real technology behind Star Wars.

I know its not satire, but I wish it was. There are a lot of words I could use to describe the UN right now that I’d better not post....

Hamas did have a few failed rockets this week and accidently hit inside Gaza.
I reckon they need all the help they can get.
