Members of Hamas 'on UN payroll'
2004-10-04
Relief agency spokesman says 'I don't see that as a crime'
!!!!!!
The United Nations agency that provides assistance and food aid to Palestinian refugees admits it has hired members of the terrorist group Hamas to help in its efforts. Peter Hansen, commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for palestinian refugees (UNRWA), told the CBC he believes it likely that Hamas members receive paycheques from his organization. "Oh I am sure that there are Hamas members on the UNRWA payroll and I don't see that as a crime. Hamas as a political organization does not mean that every member is a militant and we do not do political vetting and exclude people from one persuasion as against another," Mr. Hansen said...

#13  Yay! This means that the UN is part of the Hamas Terror Network and we can blow it up! Thanks to this admission, we can treat the UN like Al Queda or however you spell boomers for Allen.

#11  Can the IDF EMP the ambulances and stop them from moving? That will keep the UN Hamas mechanics occupied and out of trouble for a while.

#6  Hamas is Hamas. Their political objectives are the same as their military objectives -- to eradicate the Jewish state. How can someone who is a member of that organization be in the pay of "nonaligned" world body?

The drumbeat of UN corruption and bias goes on, and with each beat comes further erosion of its credibility. Effin' petrowhores.
