A web site set up by the Israeli Government showing evil Palestinians loading rockets into a UN ambulance, has been hastily withdrawn after non-hallucinating viewers pointed out that the ‘rockets’ being loaded, were in fact rolled up stretchers.
Israel has had several issues with the UN operation in Gaza, and reacted furiously when it obtained pictures of armed men getting into an ambulance, but UN spokesmen pointed out that in the incident complained of, the vehicle had been hijacked by militants to take an injured comrade to hospital. One might be forgiven for thinking that what Israel really objects to, is an international group having oversight into their heavy handed ways.
Amnesty International says that so far this year, Israel’s pursuit of terrorists, has resulted in the deaths of over a hundred Palestinian children. More than seventy Palestinians have died since the IDF launched the aptly named Operation Days of Repentance in Gaza last week and the Israeli human rights organisation, B'tselem, says more than thirty of the recent dead were civilians- people like Islam Dawidar, a sixteen year old girl killed yesterday by tank fire in her own kitchen.
