UN agency handed rockets back to Hamas, Israel says
HT to Hot Air. Unfreakingbelievable
A United Nations agency that last week found rockets in a Gaza school operating under its auspices has handed that weaponry over to Hamas, Israeli officials said Sunday, accusing the organization of actively helping the terrorist organization potentially attack Israeli civilians.
not even really pretending anymore when they're caught
“The rockets were passed on to the government authorities in Gaza, which is Hamas. In other words, UNRWA handed to Hamas rockets that could well be shot at Israel,” a senior Israeli official told The Times of Israel.

A different senior official said UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, charged with overseeing humanitarian efforts in Gaza, has been suffering from “battered-wife syndrome” for years and currently “attempts to ingratiate itself with Hamas.”

#3 Geeze! When I asked which other school the rockets were moved to the other day I was snarking!
I guess sometimes you can make this sh*t up.

#4 This should clear up any ambiguity as to where the U.N. stands on Israeli matters?

The U.N. members won't be happy until there is a black flag unfurled on their campus.

An interesting progression in institutional suicide? Or is the heretofore unstated being played out?

Not really, Frank - the Useless Nitwits are involved.

I'd expect nothing else.

#7 On my semi-annual listening of NPR this morning there was a real sob story about how the poor Paleostinians were having to cower in overcrowded shelters as the Israelis attacked. According the the lie, I mean story, Hamas started firing more rockets in response to the Israeli attack. I almost tore the radio out of the car.

#9 Of course they did.

The UN hates the Jews almost as much as Hamas.
