In this statement he seems to

be trying to be fair but his prior

statements were mostly anti-

Israel.

As to Hamas, Mr. Ging called on its leadership to rein in its rank and file after armed policemen looted blankets and food from a United Nations compound. While senior Hamas leaders remained in hiding, “those above the ground seem bent on acting in a reckless manner,” he said. It was the first such incident, he said, and the agency will halt all distributions if it continues.

A very brief

history.

John Ging (born 1965) is an Irish national and former officer in the Irish Army who has served as head of the United Nation's Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in the Gaza Strip since 2006. As head of the United Nation's 10,000 employee operation there, he became a sought-after commentator by the media and an information source for foreign governments during Israel's 2008-2009 offensive in Gaza.

And he did not

forget Israel.

John Ging, the director of operations for the United Nations refugee agency in Gaza, said Thursday that Israel’s blockade was creating growing misery there by choking off basic humanitarian supplies like food, medicine, clothes and blankets as well as school supplies.

we still need to conduct a full investigation into what exactly took place... but we are not denying that it happened; it is absolutely possible that Hamas was using its civilians as human shields," she said.--Un children and conflict representative.
The UN will investigate Hamas.
This proves Hamas used human shields at the UN school.

And Ging only said Hamas was not firing from in the school. He dodged the question of Hamas firing from near the school.

this anti-israel moniker is wrong. israel is pure and simple presently a nation sanctioning war crime. banned weaponry, child mass murder and paid bloggers to disseminate misinformation to the public.

NowPublic bans on behalf of their venture capitalists, you can find in the forum or on biz yahoo, any attempt at peace with justice in palestine. it promotes hate like the recent 'veil of ignorance' story, and defends lies that the un is lieing about the mass child murder by israel and the use of white phosphorus, and on and on, that NowPublic is nothing more than a moutpiece for hate and war, and allows a trickle of subsequent lefties, looking for a bit of fame and un, and swallowing the danergous propaganda that NowPublic is financed to put out there.

and isnt that smart as until now citizen journalism enjoyed a high believability factor. now it is FOX and 5 oclock news on TV. isnt that cool?
