Palestinian terrorists using UN Ambulances

There is a flap going on over whether the Palestinian terrorists are using the United Nations ambulances to further aid their terror operations. The United Nations is saying no - a report from UNWRA’s commissioner general Peter Hansen says that Israel should apologize for even suggesting such a thing. As reported in the Jersulam Post, he says: bq. UNWRA’s commissioner general Peter Hansen is demanding Israel apologize for allegations made last week by defense minister Shaul Mofaz that UN ambulances had been used to transport IDF soldier body remains to terrorist strongholds, reported IBA news. bq. Hansen said a letter requesting proof from the Israeli government had so far met with no reply. Accordingly, Mofaz has no reason to believe there is any truth at all to the extremely unfortunate accusation being made against UNRWA, said Hansen. But if you go and look at the Israeli Defense Force website you will see a photograph of: bq. Israel channel 10 aired yesterday Inon Maga'l item showing armed Palestinians use UNRWA ambulances to flee undercover. bq. Photographs taken at the Gaza Zeintun neighborhood about two weeks ago, on the same night the first APC was exploded, clearly show armed Palestinians boarding a UN-marked ambulance with a UN flag, and flee the scene. bq. The reporter stressed that this was not a Palestinian Red Cross ambulance, known to have transported armored Palestinians since the outbreak of events, but rather a supposedly neutral ambulance of the UN. Riiiiiggggghhtttt... We should also not forget that Mr. Hansen wrote this about the supposed 'massacre' at Jenin: bq. "I have never seen such a human tragedy as that I saw in Jenin. A Swiss seismic expert who accompanied me to Jenin was also shocked and even said he had never seen such a destruction in any part of the world for decades. I think that such massacres will never be wiped out of the human memory and their effects will be remembered by several Palestinian generations." This was at the top of the media spin when the Palestinians were telling the world that April, 2002 Jenin was a massacre of thousands. Refresh your memory here: bq. Palestinian mouthpieces claim that the Israeli military killed as many as 500 civilians in Jenin, a stronghold of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. When the Israelis cleared the booby traps and allowed Western media into the city on Monday, the reality turned to be completely different: difficult door-to-door infantry fight; 23 Israeli soldiers fallen in battle; dozens of terrorists killed. No massacre. and bq. The Jenin "massacre" that never was is yet another Big Lie in the Palestinian PR campaign, a campaign that for its persistence and audacity would have made Joseph Goebbels, Adolph Hitler's propaganda chief, proud. And with good reason. Goebbels's legacy lives today — from Damascus to Ramallah to Cairo. According to a prominent Egyptian writer, the Egyptian press ministry was set up in the early 1950s by the East Germans who learned the trade under Stalin, but before that, under Hitler and Goebbels. And Communist archives in Moscow demonstrate that many Palestinian leaders were trained at the Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow and KGB camps in the Crimea, both temples of Soviet propaganda and subversion. and here: bq. U.S. envoy Burns calls Jenin refugee camp a 'terrible tragedy' JENIN - A U.S. Middle East envoy toured the ruins of Jenin refugee camp on Saturday after an Israeli army pullback, saying enormous suffering had been visited on Palestinian civilians there. and bq. UN envoy denies accusing Israel of massacre in Jenin refugee camp At a press conference held Friday at the American Colony hotel in East Jerusalem, United Nations envoy to the Middle East Terje Roed-Larsen said that he had not accused Israel of carrying out a massacre in the Jenin refugee camp, and that he was not yet in possession of all the facts regarding what had happened during the IDF military operation in the Jenin refugee camp.
