No militants in bombed school, UN director says;

http://www.theage.com.au/world/no-milit ... -7bzo.html

As Im sure all people on this forum were already aware but its offical now;

QuoteSEVENTEEN hours after the attack on one of his schools killed 40 Palestinians seeking shelter from Israel's war on Hamas, the United Nations' director of operations in Gaza, John Ging, was certain of at least one thing "We have established beyond any doubt that the school was not being used by any militants," Mr Ging told The Age last night. "They were innocent people."

Speaking by phone from the UN's Relief and Works Agency in Gaza, Mr Ging struggled to contain his anger at the attack that has also left more 50 people with serious injuries, 10 of whom remain critical.
Israel demands Hamas disarm

Israel has demanded that Hamas be prevented from rearming as a main condition for a ceasefire.

When the Israeli attack came on the Prep C girls school in the Jabaliya camp at 3.45pm on Tuesday, Mr Ging said about 350 Palestinians were inside, using the school as a shelter.

"The reason they were in the school is because the Israelis had told them to go there," he said. "They were doing exactly as they had been told."

To ensure there was no confusion about the school's location, Mr Ging said the United Nations gave specific GPS co-ordinates to Israeli Defence Forces commanders.

But after receiving reports that mortar shells had been fired at Israeli units from within the school grounds, the commanders decided to strike back. "They shot back to save their own lives," said Israeli Defence Forces spokesman Ilan Tal.

Three tanks shells exploded just outside the school grounds, causing pandemonium inside.

"As you can imagine, this was a very distressing attack," Mr Ging said. "It has killed 40 people, and some of those who were injured may yet die.

"Now we need to know how this happened. A full, transparent and independent inquiry has to be held to determine exactly how this occurred."

The Israeli Defence Forces maintained that mortars had been fired from the school. In a statement released by spokesman Captain Benjamin Rutland, it said it had incontrovertible evidence to support its version of events. "This is not the first time that Hamas has fired mortars and rockets from schools, in such a way deliberately using civilians as human shields in their acts of terror against Israel," the statement said."

Why would anyone dignify Jewish accusations with a reply?

Israel must come to an end. If it doesn't, I kind of feel like this is comparable to 9/11 with the way nothing has happened to right the wrong...
How can we go on without justice?!
Israel must end because of this onslaught. If this situation can't get the world to end it, I don't know what will. Considering that all we hear are calls for cease fire and not accountability/punishment, it looks like they will get away with the over 680 murders.

They murdered innocent people taking cover in a school. Where is the outcry? Where is the justice?

There should be millions of soldiers from multiple countries invading Israel to kill off the real terrorists and save/protect the innocent. Hamas? Hamas is nothing compared to the evil that they are!
Thorough and relentless investigations must be made into every single casualty, injury and pull of the trigger. Same goes for all the deaths in the "wars." But no, it wont happen...not in this Jewish world...

This is absolutely ridiculous.

These goyim and their apathy will be the end of all that is right. The monkeys in the picture, look like anybody that you know?

I am sad for us. I am so sad for us  :oops:

They have the nerve to claim they were fired at from the school??? No shame!

I can't believe it when I hear people basically repeat what the media tells them... "They have a right to defend themselves." Oh yeah, asshole? 680 Palestinians compared to how many Israelis? 3-13? How many over the years? Compared to how many?

I may end up in jail if I run into such a fool any time soon... Like those fools showing up at protests with Israeli flags... What nerve. They should have a serious hurting put on them at the very least.

Sorry, but that is the truth.

I hope to hit a protest, and if I do, you can be sure as hell I will be confronting those bastards.

Quote680 Palestinians compared to how many Israelis? 3-13?

Sorry, still only 3. Compared to 697...

Why the fuck do they refer to Hamas as Militants? Hamas, who I do not support, are the elected government of the Palestinian people and should be referred to as such. On another point when Hamas, allegedly, fires missiles into Israel the news reports do not say 'Hamas has attacked Ehud OLMERT' but rather Hamas has attacked Israel. Therefore why do not the media say Israel has attacked Gaza??????


This shit is just making fucking depressed.
