anything at all relating to Israel.

It's like poking the hornet's nest...what with all the bad language and tempers flaring. I don't see any foul language used for the folks who shot down that plane with all those poor people on it today.

Thanks for the spelling police tactic...sorry, I don't have my autocorrect on a PC...I will start correcting your grammar as a result of your post. Thank you for your assistance.

Agency Demands Full Respect for the Sanctity of Its Premises in Gaza

East Jerusalem

Yesterday, in the course of the regular inspection of its premises, UNRWA discovered approximately 20 rockets hidden in a vacant school in the Gaza Strip. UNRWA strongly condemns the group or groups responsible for placing the weapons in one of its installations. This is a flagrant violation of the inviolability of its premises under international law. This incident, which is the first of its kind in Gaza, endangered civilians including staff and put at risk UNRWA’s vital mission to assist and protect Palestine refugees in Gaza.

Immediately after discovery, the Agency informed the relevant parties and successfully took all necessary measures for the removal of the objects in order to preserve the safety and security of the school. UNRWA has launched a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident.

UNRWA has strong, established procedures to maintain the neutrality of all its premises, including a strict no-weapons policy and routine inspections of its installations, to ensure they are only used for humanitarian purposes. UNRWA will uphold and further reinforce its procedures.

Palestinian civilians in Gaza rely on UNRWA to provide humanitarian assistance and shelter. At all times, and especially during escalations of violence, the sanctity and integrity of UN installations must be respected.

Just makes you nuts...right? that they developed the Bomb and all. I mean, do you think the Jews are stupid or something? Do you think that when surrounded by their mortal enemies that they would not have developed it to protect themselves from another Holocaust? Everyone wondered why the Jews went willingly to the Gas Chambers and everyone excoriated them. Big Shots and Tough Guys all of you are: "Duh, I wouldnta done that! I'da come after them with a tire iron first." Now that the Jews refuse to die with ease, you're like "How dare they put up a fight? They should just turn around and run like hell!"

Of course the joke is that they don't have it...it's Jewish Humor to the nth degree. Got your goat...you have to admit.

JEWS WITH GUNS AND WEAPONS!! AN A-BOMB!!!?? OH NOES!!!

42. Israel’s UN Ambassador Says There Are More Hamas Missiles at UNRWA Facilities
Sat Jul 19, 2014, 08:03 AM
Jul 2014
http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/07/18/israels-un-ambassador-says-likely-more-hamas-missiles-at-unrwa-facilities/

A day after UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, admitted that it had discovered 20 Hamas rockets at one of its schools, Israel’s UN Ambassador said he was certain that more such facilities housed Hamas weaponry.

“Yesterday, UNRWA admitted that it mysteriously found 20 missiles in one of its schools,” Ambassador Ron Prosor said on Friday in an emergency Security Council session on Gaza. “I’m sure that if UNRWA takes the time to check its other facilities, it will discover that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Hamas is using UN facilities to commit a double war crime by targeting Israeli civilians while hiding behind Palestinian civilians.”

His comments came the morning after Israeli forces entered Gaza in an expansion of Israel’s Operation Protective Edge aimed at ending rocket fire against civilians.

In his extensive remarks, outlining Israel’s position on the conflict with Hamas, Prosor also said that it was time for the international community to face the consequences of its failed policies regarding the Gaza based terror group.

“For years, we told you about the thousands of rockets that Hamas was smuggling into Gaza. We were met with silence. Time and again we called on the international community to condemn the rocket fire and we were met with silence,” he said. “It is time for the international community to face the consequences of its inaction. Hamas used its foothold in Gaza to trample on the Palestinian people and build a terror base in Israel’s backyard. And now it sees an opportunity to do it again.”
