The UN has abandoned any semblance of working for peace and trying to maintain harmony among nations. Their hatred of Israel has overridden everything else the organization does and once stood for.
“IDF Calls Out UN for Lying About Gaza Civilian Casualties,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, July 24, 2014:
Israel is calling out a United Nations aid agency for falsely claiming that the Israeli Defense Forces did not permit civilians to evacuate a Gaza school where 15 people were killed today.
The U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) laid blame for the civilian deaths on the IDF, claiming it never received approval from the IDF for an evacuation from the facility.
UNRWA—which has been under fire in recent days for allowing Hamas to use its facilities to store rockets—released a statement claiming: “UNRWA had been attempting to negotiate with the [IDF] a pause in the fighting during which they would guarantee a safe corridor to relocate staff and any displaced persons who chose to evacuate to a more secure location. Approval for that never came to UNRWA.”
Earlier, UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness had similarly accused the IDF of preventing a civilian evacuation.
“Over the course of the day UNRWA tried 2 coodinate [sic] with the Israeli Army a window for civilians 2 leave & it was never granted,” UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness tweeted, following the strike.
However, in an unusual move late Thursday, multiple IDF sources rejected UNRWA’s claims and characterized them as outright falsehoods when reached by the Washington Free Beacon.
“For two days we were trying to move people out of that school in particular and the Beit Hanoun area in general,” said an IDF official who was involved in the interactions between the IDF, UNRWA, and International Red Cross (ICRC) leading up to the incident.
The official continued: “This morning we sought a cease-fire in the area and a humanitarian evacuation of civilians, but Hamas refused—because they wanted to keep civilians in the area to protect their fighters who were firing on the IDF,” the source said. The claim by Gunness and UNRWA that the IDF did not respond to their request to evacuate civilians, the source said, is “a flat-out complete and total lie.”
When asked for further details about the incident, UNRWA claimed that its school in Beit Hanoun had been turned into “a battlefield” in recent days.
Many Palestinians, including women and children, had sought shelter from the fighting in the school, believing it to be safe territory, according to UNRWA.
“This is the fourth time in the past four days that an UNRWA school has been struck by explosive projectiles,” UNRWA said.
An official IDF statement released to the Free Beacon states that “the IDF authorized a humanitarian time window for evacuation between 10:00-14:00 IDT earlier today. Hamas prevented the civilians from leaving it and once again used their infrastructure and international symbols as human shields. In the course of the afternoon, several rockets launched by Hamas from within the Gaza Strip landed in the Beit Hanoun area.”
“From initial inquiries done about the incident, during the intense fighting in the area, militants opened fire at IDF soldiers from the school area,” the statement says. “In order to eliminate the threat posed to their lives, they responded with fire toward the origins of the shooting.”
“The UNRWA claims that Israel prevented the safe evacuation of the school in Beit Hanoun are unfounded,” the statement concludes….

Talk about cowards do you notice they all hide their faces. These clowns look like members of the KKK as they dressed in the 1890”s. given a choice between these holy ass-holy warriors of Islam, and the KKK, I’ll take the KKK.

Here is a CBS News report which says we don’t know who struck the school, but the headline blames the Israelis.

Update: Hamas Misfired Rocket Hit UNRWA School where 17 Killed
Hamas rockets exploded in the area, and there was heavy combat going on. UNRWA admits rockets hidden in their other schools have “gone missing.”

The number of Palestinian casualties should be checked by those reporting the Hamas figures like the BBC. Film of so called casualties arriving at a hospital showed children distressed but with no injuries, a woman bought in on a stretcher with no injuries and many people milling around to create a scene of absolute panic and confusion. Great propaganda television but the commentary doesn’t relate to the film.
The Levite says
I was under the impression that this “school” was bombed/shelled yet I have not seen ONE photo of bomb damage. I have seen “blood” on the floor and bullet holes. I have seen school desks completely intact next to the blood. I have seen pallys attacking a UN vehicle as it drove out of the “school” and I have seen the usual “medic” running out of an ambulance carrying a “critically” wounded child into a hospital and in front of a mob of organized media….
Something stinks beyond belief again…..

@The Levite, That’s exactly what I saw.

The UN is out for the destruction of Israel. The UN is also against all 1st world powers. Look at the IPCC, Independent Panel for Climate Change. Every year it issues a report that we are all going to die. Every year their computer modeling is shown to be bogus. Of course the aim of the IPCC is a massive transfer of wealth from 1st world countries to the pockets of 3rd world thugs, the Palestinians are right in there with their hands out. Where is the UNESCO World Heritage center when heritage sites like 1800 year old Monasteries, ancient historical sites, Islamic mosques, etc are destroyed. How long is it going to be before Islamic Salafists bomb the Hagia Sophia. Where ever Hitler is he must be a big fan of the United Nations.
JohnnyAngel Advocacy Group says
The UN has been becoming more anti-Israel for over 20 years and its agenda to bring about world governance is proceeding unabated. If the Israelis and American governments turn over their power to this SHAM organization, then the ability of people to rule their countries will evaporate. Without these two countries fighting AGAINST UN corruption leaves the world open to unspeakable horrors. In due time people will realize the FALSE HOPES that this body represents.
Jeff says
What kind of ‘war’ is it where you text the residents in advance that you are going to bomb them? Seems the IDF is going way out of their way to minimize collateral damage. Me, I’m with Isreal all the way
duh_swami says
It’s a joint Palywood/UN production number. it’s not the first time Palywood faked injuries and deaths. Certainly there are real casualties, but the purpose of Palywood is to take the real and make it fantastic, then blame Israel for it. The fantastically stupid, fall for it every time.

As an expert strategist, let me explain to the uninitiated:
Recently, UNRWA announce that they “discovered” missiles in their schools.
They did this to convince the world of their credibility. It got on the front page all over the world. This was a deep move. (They have been keeping missiles in their schools for years–no discovery was needed).
Now, they are using that credibility to slander the IDF.
UNRWA and Hamas–two groups, same people. Nothing happens in Gaza without Hamas direction and approval. This is a totalitarian state.
The IDF will not be believed because people don’t believe those they hate.
The most important battlefield, friends, is the world opinion. Let’s work on it!

How sick are the people commenting on this page? What have muslims done to you that explain this unbelievable hate.
Fortunetly the worlds oppinion is not your oppinion, there are the few and misguided souls like yours. You must be a clash of uneducated morons with nothing better to do.
peacenohate says
I find it hilarious that all you Muslims have hearts filled with so much hatred that anything you read that you don’t agree with looks like hatred. You may find it interesting to know that there is a difference between belief and pure religion. Religion is something man-made and there is absolutely no god behind that. Religion has caused some of the world’s biggest wars in the history of human kind and this war that Muslims are now waging, in which the aim is to eradicate anyone any “unbeliever” (btw, who are you to tell me what’s right to believe!) belong with the most vile wars over religion.
Also, as you can see below, the difference between the Qu’ran and the bible of Jews and Christians is that you constantly find the need to compare yourselves, as if you feel threatened and therefore must be angry at everyone. On the contrary, the bible teaches you to love even your enemies and share what you have even with them, despite them persecuting you and killing you. And you call Islam the religion of peace…
From the “HOLY” QU’RAN:
Qur’an (5:51) – “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Qur’an (53:29) – “Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message and desire nothing but the life of this world.”
Qur’an (3:85) – “And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers.”
Qur’an (9:23) – “O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of you taketh them for friends, such are wrong-doers”
From the HOLY BIBLE:
Proverbs 25:21-22: “If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.”
Matthew 5:43-44 “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.”
Exodus 23:4-5: “If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall bring it back to him. If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying down under its burden, you shall refrain form leaving him with it; you shall rescue it with him.”
Psalms 35:12-15: “They repay me evil for good; my soul is bereft. But I, when they were sick – I wore sackcloth; I afflicted myself with fasting; I prayed with head bowed on my chest. I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother; as one who laments his mother, I bowed down in mourning. But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered; they gathered together against me; wretches whom I did not know tore at me without ceasing.”

” What have muslims done to you that explain this unbelievable hate”
Hmm. let’s see …
9/11, 7/7, Beslan, Mumbai, almost 25,000 mohammedan attacks on non-muslims since 9/11. Are you getting a clue, yet ?
Probably not. You’re either a mohammedan, or one of those idiotic leftards, useful idiots, and apologists for islam, who bleat your kumbya siren song of PC/MC drivel. Stupidity is your middle name. You can’t deal with facts, and so designate all criticism and justified loathing of what so many mohammedans do, as ‘hate’. The ones spewing the **hate** are your mohammedan mates.
”Fortunetly the worlds oppinion is not your oppinion”
Oh, I think you’re wrong there, sunshine. The mohammedans spewing their hate, and shrieking ”Jews to the gas” and various other **hateful** slogans, are putting themselves in the lens of everyone who has ears to hear, and eyes to see. (excluding fools like you)
A **lot** of people are now seeing mohammedans for exactly what they are, and they don’t like it. World opinion is turning against you, and idiots like you.

“uneducated” as in:
not swayed by the Islam propaganda factory, Al Jazeera or its PC machines.
Why should anyone give a hoot about Palestinian Muslims who brought this on themselves BTW and have absolutely no right to live anywhere in the ancient lands of Israel in the first place?
Why should anyone trust the Islamic funded (Muslim Brotherhood infested) MSM when they coo about every Palestinian in Gaza, yet totally ignore the ethnic cleansing and persecution of Christians in Mosul?

1. Book a flight to St. Louis or any other U.S. city for mid-day arrival.
2. Once there outdoors yell out loud repeatedly that you hate Muhammad and that you spit on him.
3. Next book a flight to downtown Tehran for mid-day arrival.
4. Once there outdoors yell out loud that you hate Muhammad and that you spit on him.
5. Note the difference, then note that you are no longer alive.
6. The rest of the world now sees another example of true hate.

In Dearborn, Michigan, you can expect to get some bottles and other assorted things thrown at you if you so much as proclaim a Christian message. See this 22 minute video here:

and this long account of the complicity of police, etc. here:

I can’t promise that you will escape without serious injuries if you shout that you hate Muhammad and spit on him. To minimize that, I recommend that you take at least one person to video what happens to you. And I can’t promise you any attempt by city, state, or federal officials to punish anyone for aggravated assault and battery if you commit such a flagrant example of “hate speech”. They might tell you that “fighting words” are not protected by the First Amendment. But if you can get a good lawyer to represent you, he might be able to explain that this is irrelevant to the injuries you suffered.
