UN backtracks on claim that deadly IDF strike hit Gaza school

Well NOW. Once again UNWRA needs to back down from their accusations.


The United Nations has reversed its stance on one of the most contentious and bloody incidents of the recent Israel Defense Forces operation in Gaza, saying that an IDF mortar strike that killed 43 people on January 6 did not hit one of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency schools after all.

It seems that the UN has been under pressure to put the record straight after doubts arose that the school had actually been targeted. Maxwell Gaylord, the UN humanitarian coordinator in Jerusalem, said Monday that the IDF mortar shells fell in the street near the compound, and not on the compound itself.

that is untrue. the media intelligence arm of isreal has misquoted a un spokesman, and the discussion is whether given the refusal of israel to allow both human aid and media persons into gaza during their bloodbath, did the mass murder of children from the un school take place 'inside the building' or 'outside the building' where the kids play at break.

the main spokesman at the un has all along said outsied, but with the media blackout from the israeli war criminals, another un person from a dept. not directly responsible got confused and said the 12 Israeli tortured maimed Gazan children in the school were the mass murdered children,  when as time allowed the media to inform, that is, after the fact, as the Israeli monsters kept the media out of Gaza at the time of the massacre of children by ISrael, it turned out that the slowing dieing and painful wounds of the children with hot metal and shrapnel from child murdering Israeli shells took place in the open air just outside the classroom. Of course child murderers like those israeli prefer to kill children while they play outdoors rather than perhaps giving them the chance to duck and save themselves under a solid table or in a closet in a classroom.

the mass murdering child murdering monsters of israel made the right choice for their sick and evil goals, to assure more children die, they attack at break when they are in the open air, nowhere to hide, just outside the UN school.

to say that there is a problem of inside or outside the school is not a cop out. it makes you sick to yoru stomach to imagine the mind of anyone making such an excuse for children who were murdered and wont be reborn quickly enough for their family and friends, and those kids whose legs were ripped off my israel maiming shrapnel wont grow new legs, those blinded wont grow new eyes and those who lost fingers wont type like you anymore, whether they were the victims of one of the most evil countries on the face of the earth, so evil that they have a cloak of credibility, not small time criminals but major mass murderers. israel is a country tryng to sanction child murder by saying others do it. like i murder someone in the bornz and when the police come my excuse is therewas a murder in the neighborhood... therefore i should be let off the hook? what kind of cheap excuse is that?

they show the 'unguilty' crime area where the israeli IDF murdered dozens of kids 'outside' the school. A mix up of the murder scene by some un officials as being 'inside' the building is the basis for this story's excuse that its ok for israel to mass murder children outside when the absence of press in the war zone by israels demand led to a trivial mistake that the terrorizing child murderers from israel butchered their victims outside while they were playing and not inside the classroom. is it possible to imagine a more sick mind than one operating on such an allegation of the UN 'lying' about child murder.

Hamas cowards who fire from behind children caused this tragic event.Anti semitic name calling will not change that fact.

I think there's no mention on your posts about the fact that Hamas was hiding among the children -in or outside the UN facilities- to launch mortar attacks and make it sure they would be kille din case of Israeli answer to these

 

I must have not read accurately, because you certainly must have mentioned it.

Hamas is not hiding, when Israel blockades every one in Gaza into a prison of their own lands.

Are you so oblivious to reality to imagine that Israel is going to construct barracks, training grounds, missile launch sites, munition depots, military airports and so on as it has at home for the Hamas in Gaza to wage a fair fight? Come on, and the Israeli child murdering forces called up to fight in Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, 9000 of them are also normally hiding as you say in their population. The keep their weapons at home with their Israeli kids and when they get the call as a reservist they head over the border to murder and maim children in Gaza.

In an urban zone laid waste to by Israeli blockade for years, there is no military infrastructure as in Israel with barracks and the like. Come on, get with it. Build Hamas missile-launching sites with air defence systems as Israel has if you want to then lay claim to some human shield argument, like the well-documented use of Palestinians as human shields by Israeli soldiers in Gaza, who keep the families incarcerated in their own houses when they barge in, break in and use that house for a sniper or reconnaissance position in Gaza. That tactic of human shileds is used all the time by Israeli forces in Gaza.

Hey con10t,

Give it up for the terrorists and the killing of Jews. Now that should make you happy?

this repulsive hate-mongering post supported fully by NowPublic, concerning its creation by biased lobbyists. in fact NowPublic is NotPublic. it works in the interest of its own private moderator's views, anti-human-rights for Palestinian children and families. there is no reason but my views which had me banned. no slander at all. nothing like it. Child murderers are simply that. And Isreal is a mass-murdering nation.

They even so much as admit it today:

"An Israeli military college has printed damning soldiers' accounts of the killing of civilians and vandalism during recent operations in Gaza."

boycott NowPublic. it is a sham that exploits the fresh belöievability of CJmedia.

look at this remark above:

"Hey con10t,

Give it up for the terrorists and the killing of Jews. Now that should make you happy?"

check this 'writer's 'stories' in Jan. and Feb 2009? any opposition similar to his 'persocal' cynical retort had those CJists removed, banned, and their stories deleted. what about that.

the VC behind NowPublic will be getting an onslaught of mail and a plan for a real CJ site very very soon, also from Vancouver.


CJ is too precious to allow such abuse of journalism ethics. the write of the story above must be tickled that NowPublic is a biased mouthpiece, not Cj at all.
