IDF releases footage of militants loading rockets into 'UN' car
The Israel Defense Forces released video footage Friday taken by an unmanned aircraft showing what appeared to be Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip loading rockets into a vehicle marked "UN."

The black-and-white footage, taken by a drone - or unmanned aircraft - flying over the Gaza Strip, showed the militants driving off in the white van, with "UN" marked in black on its roof.

Israel has often accused militants of using United Nations vehicles and headquarters to launch attacks. UN officials were not immediately available for comment.

Israel has also accused officials from the UN Relief and Works Agency, responsible for caring for thousands of refugees in the Gaza Strip, of turning a blind eye to militant activities in their vicinity, and of clear bias against Israel.

1. If I lived there
I would paint any vehicles available in UN colors too.

Or swipe one.

It's like putting a red cross on a building. Makes it safer.

3. I have a problem
with your view of the situation.

If the US was invaded, you'd be loading bombs into anything you could find.

8. Apparently thats exactly what was said......sadly.
War crimes are wrong......except when were talking about civilian israeli men, women and children who are , of course, open season to any palestinian terrorist without a wimper from the ICJ , UN or any other organization.


Let's see......must be under the category of......anti-zionism...


yep....thats it.

11. And on it goes
Both sides are totally hopeless.This act is so wrong and will only make matters worse.

Not to mention playing into the hands of bigots and anti-UN fanatics.

18. I guess it's only OK when the IDF does it
although this story has already been debunked - I was wondering if your outrage extends to this instance:

""The IDF used ambulances to smuggle in fighters during operation 'Defensive Shield' in 2002", claims Zohar Shapira, one of the initiators of the elite 'Sayeret Matkal' unit refuseniks' letter.

(snip)

Shapira said that following the operation he turned to his commanders and expressed his amazement over what he saw, but they explained it was the most secure vehicle to transport troops in.
"

http://maarivintl.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=article&articleID=8221

As always I expect this to be written off in the standard way anything that doesn't conform to the lie that the IDF are morally pure and above reproach.

20. It would clearly be such an act of idiocy I wonder you bother repeating it
It's been debunked on numerous sites, but here's the link to the
Guardian - not exactly a rabid left-wring publication:

http://talk.workunlimited.co.uk/israel/Story/0,2763,1319080,00.html


You might like to read the whole article - Israel demolishing a
kindergarten, no doubt to rid themselves of gun-toting toddlers.
