UPDATE Saturday 9:26AM: The IDF has retracted its statement that the mortar came from a UN school, saying it came from a “Hamas-controlled area.”

There needs to be an investigation of the United Nations. As I wrote on July 29: “There needs to be an investigation of the UNRWA over this. Could it really keep happening without any UN officials knowing what was going on? The problem is, who can investigate the United Nations? Not Obama’s investigative or intelligence apparatus.”
Enough is enough. The UN should be defunded and expelled from the United States.
“4-Year-Old Israeli Boy, Daniel Tregerman, Killed by Mortar Fired From UNRWA School in Gaza,” Algemeiner, August 22, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
Daniel Tregerman, a 4-year-old boy was killed in a Gaza mortar attack on Israel late on Friday afternoon as he played in the living room of his family home, local media reported.
The rocket struck a nearby car in the southern Sha’ar Hanegev region critically injuring the boy with shrapnel who later died of his wounds.
According to Israeli security officials cited by Israel’s Ynet News, the projectile was fired from the grounds of a school run by UNRWA in the Shejajiah neighborhood in Gaza City.
Magen David Adom paramedics attempted to perform CPR on the child, but their efforts failed. Five others were lightly wounded in the attack.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld tweeted, “Sadly a 4 year old child dies from his wounds after mortar strike in the negev region. Damage caused to buildings and cars in area.”
4-year-old Daniel Turgerman.
Following the tragic event, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with the head of the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council Alon Schuster.
“On behalf of the citizens of Israel, I express deep sorrow and send condolences to the family of the child,” Netanyahu said. He also warned that Hamas “will pay a heavy price for this terrorist attack.”
Itzik Bar-or, a medic for Israeli volunteer ambulance service United Hazolah told Israel’s Walla News that he was the first to treat the child.
Bar-or, who lives close by said he heard the explosion near his house and immediately went outside. Hearing cries for help he ran to the scene of the attack with a first aid kit.
He said he found the boy in a nearby house and that he had incurred severe head injuries. Shortly afterwards MDA and military medical teams arrived and later determined the child’s death.
The child’s parents and siblings were inside the house at the time of the attack, Bar-or said.
In response to news of the death, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro condemned the attack in a Facebook post.
“I’ve just heard the terrible news that a 4-year-old child was killed by a mortar strike in the south,” he wrote. “I condemn in the strongest terms this outrageous terrorist attack and offer condolences to the boy’s family. Israel has the right and obligation to defend itself, which the United States supports.”
The victim is Israel’s fourth death from rocket attacks and 68th including soldiers in its current Operation Protective Edge aimed at halting Gaza rocket attacks.
Friday saw a significant escalation in rocket attacks from Gaza after cease-fire talks broke down when Gaza terrorists launched volleys of rockets into Israel earlier this week. Over 80 projectiles have been fired into the country so far in the last 24 hours.

So very sad. And so very wrong.

…………………………..
It’s no longer even vaguely plausible that UN staff is unaware of this.
And what would happen if Israel targeted this rocket launch site?
Then the misleading headline would read, “Israel hits UNRWA School”.
The viciousness of Islam—and its vile enablers.

Robert Spencer wrote, “Enough is enough. The UN should be defunded and expelled from the United States.”
This is almost as beautiful a sentiment as the last time my wife told me she loved me, which was just yesterday.
Ah, beautiful sentiments are wonderful things, no?
richard sherman says
Everyone who works at the UN must demonstrate that he or she is a certified card carrying antisemite…so while Mr Spencer’s sentiments are extremely commendable….it ain’t happening.
citycat says
Behind closed doors some Muslims will Nazi salute this child death while they breed for Halla, and creep.
richard sherman says
Not behind closed doors..
In The Open.
At the UN
Wherever there are Muslims…they are trained from birth to celebrate the killing of Jews because they revere the sociopath Muhammad who personally decapitated 900 unarmed Jews..
They consider Jew killing a holy act!
citycat says
Yeah, and some Muslims are so mentally conditioned to hate Jews, like a god directive, that all compassion is hi-jacked to Halla.

“Enough is enough. The UN should be defunded and expelled from the United States.”
Hopefully they would then go to Gaza to provide Hamas with the human shield. Would be lovely to see them blown to pieces by the IDF.
Wellington says
Another beautiful sentiment, thomas_h. My oh my, beautiful sentiments are abounding on this thread.
Hope you are doing well, pal. Wow, the world, a la Green River, sure is smouldrin’, now isn’t it?
Well, whenever and wherever democracy, capitalism, an enlightened law code and an enlightened moral code are not in conjunction with one another, not working fluidly with one another, a nation, a society, a region, a continent or all the world will suffer to the extent this sapient quadrilateral is absent.
Sufferin’ right now—-all the world is that’s for sure, courtesy first and foremost of the worst religion of all time, but also courtesy of stupid authoritarianism, a la China and Russia, abject weakness by Western leadership, PC/MC nonsense, and an ever increasing dearth of common sense.
Hope all is well with you and yours, thomas_h. You know, I hope someday we can meet and solve all the world’s problems over several pitchers of beer. I’d sure like that.

“ My oh my, beautiful sentiments are abounding on this thread.”

Oh, Wellington, amigo, they do abound..
The world is smouldrin’ a la Green River – true, and may I add, the Bad Moon is sure to rise. It always does when the smouldring enters the unpredictability mode. And nobody knows what the world will be like once the Bad Moon sets down again.
”Well, whenever and wherever democracy, capitalism, an enlightened law code and an enlightened moral code are not in conjunction with one another, not working fluidly with one another, a nation, a society, a region, a continent or all the world will suffer to the extent this sapient quadrilateral is absent. “
I would like to add that none of these four could function adequately if any of the remaining three is flawed. They depend on each other, ensue from each other, are seamlessly connected to each other – and that is what makes a good society. There is no way to separate them without destroying it.
“… courtesy first and foremost of the worst religion of all time, but also courtesy of stupid authoritarianism, a la China and Russia, abject weakness by Western leadership, PC/MC nonsense, and an ever increasing dearth of common sense.”
Absolutely! Interesting that these five are as tightly connected and flow from each other not less intimately than the elements of the sapient quadrilateral the fracturing of which we bemoan.
The difference between the two is that while the survival of the former requires constant vigilance the latter, like cancer, grows spontaneously.
Yes, I too hope one day we can meet. Let’s start solving, if not all, then at least the first three world problems, namely: Islam, Islam and Islam. The beer is on me.
Take good care of yourself and yours, my friend. All the best to you all.
Wellington says
Great analysis of my own analyses, thomas_h. Very astute of you to come to the conclusions you did, but then I’m not surprised because I reckoned a while ago that you were a damn clever and knowledgeable man. Kudos also for mentioning another great CCR song—–Bad Moon risin’ and all that.
I agree with you too about the three greatest problems the world faces today. Stunning, no, that they all begin wih “I.” Gee, must be pure coincidence.
On one point I must disagree with you. Should we ever meet, at least some of the beer has to be on me.
Hope you and those you hold most dear to your heart are doing well. As ever, I remain
non-Islamically yours,
Wellington

”you are a damn clever and knowledgeable man”
Thank you, Wellington. This from YOU, in writing AND without the ”/sarc off” mark is very much valued! Why so many others can’t see what is so obvious to you, is beyond me. ☺
“Stunning, no, that they all begin wih “I.” Gee, must be pure coincidence.”
Absolutely! I, too, can’t think of other explanation, well…except…perhaps, Islam.
Should we ever meet, at least some of the beer has to be on me.
OK, OK. Let’s talk about it over the beer.
And ”un-Islamically yours” is a beauty. I now use it to sign-off all my emails and hope you’ve started a trend.
Best wishes, my friend, to you and yours
Profoundly un-Islamically yours,

Recently, the Gaza violence resulted in John Kerry concluding that there was more than ever the need for the two-state solution. The more Israel is hammered, the greater will be the calls for concessions such as a ceasefire with an opening to the Gaza seaport. As for UNRWA, even the Israelis tolerate it because they don’t want to assume responsibilities for the “refugees”. That’s like trusting a wolf to take care of the sheep.
Hamas needs to be obliterated, Gaza conquered, and its residents with jihadist allegiances should be expelled. Israel won’t do that, partly because they don’t want the responsibility of owning Gaza, and partly because the Obama administration are appeasers.
Nan says
The two state solution will never work. The Philistines will never accept it and will only be “happy” when the Israeli Jews are obliterated. This, everyone must understand.
Islofob IS-1 says
The U.N. is one of three bodys that form the globalist movement. They are in the process to destroy all nation states, all notions of freedom, remove all restrictions to man being his own god.
The U.N. is the face of the progressive movement.
The U.N. , C.F.R., & the T.C. To know them is to understand why the world is sailing into hell. If they get the world they want, it will not last long.
The only reason we should stay in the U.N. is our ability to stop it, by our seat at the table, and our vote.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the modern world is not big enough to accommodate both the West and Islam, which leaves us facing two choices: either take off the gloves to eliminate the dysfunctional death cult once and for all, which will result in the most intense shedding of blood in the history of the world, or cut the transparent pretence of rhetoric and capitulate to Sharia, which will also result in the most intense shedding of blood in the history of the world.
Must be something wrong with me, because our preferred choice seems rather obvious…if only we had leaders with small round things between their legs.
umbra says
Eventually, some will fight islam (in a war) while others will capitulate to it (or side with it) … then those who fight islam will end up saving those who capitulate to it.

A tragic end to an innocent life. While hamas remains intransigent about the geo-political reality of Israel then the body count will grow….alas.

Dear Mr Spencer
You have included a photograph and a name for this boy killed during a righteous reprisal strike by Hamas into the heart of the Zionist oppressor.
It is precisely this sort of abhorrent, racist and Islamohpobic behaviour which earned you (and the Jewess Geller) the banishment form tolerant and compassionate England by the brave and fearless Home Secretary Theresa May.
By placing the name and photograph of this dead Jewsih boy on a public site, you are in essence “humanising” the Israelis, when of course they are anything but.
We at the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) have not mentioned his name, nor have we placed his photograph in the public doman. We do of course flag up the names and photographs of lovely little Palestinian children killed by the murderous Zionists, because we have a duty to be impartial at the BBC, which is something we actively celebrate and strive to achieve at every opportunity.
You might also like to know we have most certainly NOT mentioned the running-dogs, traitors and collaborators executed by Hamas yesterday, for their treacherous actions against the humane and peaceful Palestinian State.
Should you ever wish to gain entry into Britain, you must desist with this type of “humanising of Jews” behaviour, which all left-thinking (and thus civilised) people deplore.
Yours Sincerely

UNRWA is a directly complicit, co-conspirator with HAMAS in the current and previous conflicts with Israel. This dysfunctional UN agency needs to be defunded and disbanded.

Elisheva14 says
Daniel Tregerman, a four-year-old boy, was killed by a terrorist rocket from Gaza launched from near a UNRWA school.
“Daniel was disciplined and was always quick to get to shelter. Once the alarm sounded, he always knew what to do and where to go. Always.”
“When everyone would come to the shelter, Daniel would say, ‘Now we are all safe.’”

Have it ever occur to you that israel make than mistake about where the mortor shell came from. You make than mistake about the people willing giveing the nazie salute durning WWII, in all occuprate area which the gemany occupty all people have to return the salute or give the salute when pasting germany military units or checkpoint under the penaly of death.
SpiritOf1683 says
It hardly matters where that mortar shell came from, brickbrain. It came from the Gaza Strip. There’s no mistaking that. And there is only one way to ensure this never happens again. And it isn’t pleasant or pretty. Now off you go to Pakistan, savage.
pumbar says
That poor lad. His life taken away by a bunch of pot bellied death worshippers. While the world looks on through its islamoscope (TM) and sees only Israeli atrocities. Makes you sick.
