The UN has denounced this. On the other hand, the UN denounced the storage of Hamas jihad rockets in its Gaza schools, but did nothing to stop it, and even gave the rockets back to Hamas after they were found. The UN is a disgrace and should not be funded by American taxpayers (or anyone else).
“Syrian al-Qaeda using UN cars to conduct terror operations,” by Roi Kais, Ynet News, December 11, 2014:
Syrian opposition sources say al-Qaeda-linked Syrian rebels, known as the Al-Nusra Front, have taken over areas along the Israeli-Syrian border and have recently been spotted using UN cars to conduct terror operations.
According to the sources, the Al-Nusra Front has seized large swaths of the southern Golan Heights and has used UN cars during attacks against Assad’s army near the city of Daraa in southwestern Syria – a worrying sign of the capabilities of the Syrian al-Qaeda branch.
The Syrian opposition sources claimed the use of the UN vehicles was part of a double car explosion attack. The terrorist behind the attack, Abu Khattab al-Muhajir, was able to exit the vehicle before it exploded.
The UN car was the second of the two vehicles to explode and led to the deaths of two of Assad’s men who were not killed from the first explosion.
The al-Nusra Front uploaded photos documenting the attack to their Twitter account on Wednesday. The photos depict the major-general of the group, Abu G’libib, wiring the explosives himself.
The photographs depicting the usage of the UN car were also aired by state television of the Assad regime.
The UN responded to the attack and said, “using UN equipment by Jabhat al-Nusra to carry out terrorist acts is unacceptable.”…
Yeah. Time for you guys to issue another condemnation of Israel.
Angemon says
Such stern wording! If that doesn’t set the terrorists straight then I don’t know what will.
/sarc off

When will people learn. Hama’s is evil, stop attacking, blaming Israel for everything! They are the only democratic country in the middle east, period. How does this article come as a shock? It doesn’t surprise me in the least! The UN are coward’s
mortimer says
Hardly surprising they hide behind the UN (or Red Cross) when they hide behind their own children as human shields! That is surely the definition of ‘BARBARIAN’ that most of us can agree on.
If ISIS can be quarantined by sealing the borders, the war of attrition will swiftly meet its goal of making ISIS non-operational or at least unable to go on the offensive.

Many times the Conservative Americans have discussed leaving the UN but it never goes anywhere. If there were a campaign to drum up voter support for the US to leave, showing how much the US spends, that it is 1/4 of the UN budget yet no one except Israel constantly votes withe the US, the US receive few benefits. Also another thought was telling the UN to relocate out of NY to Europe or wherever. The UN has no accountability, they’re overpaid, believe they will supersede National Governments, and have illustrated corruption with the cash credits for oil with Iraq under Hussein.
Yes we had the missile debacle in the summer and BanKi Moon sweeps it under the carpet and immediately lays into Israel and not the terrors group Hamas.
Now, we the are the UN vehicles that have been commandeered and the big statement from the UN is it is unacceptable. if there is just the perception of wrong doing by Israel the terminology is off the Charts. So, much for fairness, neutrality and common sense.
Salah says
The UN and the EU, two compromised entities, to say the least.
joeb says
I was in the UN a couple of years ago, and the lobby was occupied with an exhibition depicting how evil israel is, and how it continually ‘oppresses’ the so-called ‘palestinians’.
Mannie says
They do this with ambulances, too. Both are, therefore, legitimate military targets.
ninetyninepct says
Banky moon could even resort to using upper case letters in his condemnation of ISIS being caught using UN donated vehicles, but I think a better idea would be to target all UN vehicles as terrorist operated and include all individuals dressed like Darth Vader, now that islamist terrorists are violating their own korun by dressing as women.
Why does the UN approve, support andf sponsor dictators, killers and terrorists?
pongidae rex says
The UNRWA is a HAMAS fifth column dedicated to the destruction of Israel in all regards except their public relations image.
noellsq says
The UN is so bias against the Israelis and probably give Hamas money and support
Betty says
well if they keep it up. maybe ISRAEL WILL BLOW THEM TO KINGDOM COME AND EVERY ONE WILL BE RID OF THEM.
