UN Admits: Palestinians used UN schools to launch rockets and store weapons

The Zionist propaganda machine is generating propaganda at a record rate. The Jewish Press.com is in turbo mode and Ruddy spreading the propaganda just as fast as his little fingers can type, posting all the propaganda The Jewish Press.com is generating in its "damage control" mode. It is hilarious watching this charade and how Rudindy doesn't supply the links to the propaganda.

As usual, Monti cannot handle the truth. This is from a U.N report you idiot.

BTW, yesterday I caught you using a pro Jewish source. You're a fuckin hypocrite. Why don't you go whine and spread your lies somewhere else.

No, it is from The Jewish Press.com. It is the Zionist propaganda machine in damage control mode. Ruddy, just pasted the UN emblem on the post LOL. You just don't get it, do you Toast. All you have ever been fed is propaganda on the issue. And you are buying Ruddy's feeble attempts at generating propaganda.

I am not allowed to use pro-Jewish sites?

Keep up, dipshit! After your whining about the "the Jewish press", I also provided a UNRWA and a World Tribune site, which confirmed everything the Jewish Press site said.
 
UN admits Palestinians fired rockets from UNRWA schools


The UN finally investigated the Palestinian storing of rockets in UNRWA schools and their use of the schools to launch rockets against Israel, all of which constitute grave violations of the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law.

Key findings gleaned from the UN report:

  • Hamas and/or Islamic Jihad stored rockets in UNRWA schools. The board found, in the case of the UNRWA Jabalia Elementary “C” and Ayyobiya Boys School, referring to the discovery of weapons there on 22 July 2014, that “it was highly likely that a Palestinian armed group might have used the premises to hide weapons.”
  • Hamas and/or Islamic Jihad stored rockets in schools that were in active use by children. During the war, former PLO lawyer Diana Buttu famously said on Al Jazeera that “the rockets that were found in the schools in UNRWA were schools that are not being used by anybody—school is out, I’ll have you know.” However, in the UNRWA Gaza Beach Elementary Co-educational “B” School, on 16 July 2014, the UN Board of Inquiry notes that the school gate was unlocked during the period leading up to the incident “in order to allow children access to the schoolyard.” School was out, but UNRWA was inviting the children back in to play.
  • Hamas and/or Islamic Jihad fired rockets from UNRWA schools. In the Jabalia school listed above, the board found that “it was highly likely that an unidentified Palestinian armed group could have used the school premises to launch attacks on or around 14 July.” Similarly, concerning weaponry stored at the UNRWA Nuseirat Preparatory Co- educational “B” School, the UN inquiry found that “the premises could have been used for an unknown period of time by members of a Palestinian armed group” — and that “it was likely that such a group may have fired the mortar from within the premises of the school.”

Extracts from the UN report on rockets stored in and fired from UNRWA facilities

Incident (h): Presence of weaponry at the UNRWA Gaza Beach Elementary Co- educational “B” School on 16 July 2014

49. Gaza Beach Elementary Co-educational “B” School is located in the heart of the Beach refugee camp, in the midst of a densely populated area of Gaza city. Four other UNRWA schools and an UNRWA health centre are located on the opposite side of the street. The school buildings are enclosed by a wall and there is one main gate. On two of its four sides, the schoolyard is surrounded by houses, which are built on the school’s boundary wall. These houses have windows opening on to the schoolyard on their lower floors; and one house connects with the schoolyard through a gate. Also next to the school, adjacent to the house with the connecting gate, is a private building, whose main gate is located next to the school’s gate. This house was bombed during Operation Protective Edge, prior to the incident.

50. Due to the summer vacation, the school was not in use at the time of Operation Protective Edge, nor was it used as a designated emergency shelter.

51. The Board was informed that two UNRWA school attendants were looking arier the school prior to and on the day of the incident. One worked the morning shift and the other, the afternoon. Five guards hired as part of UNRWA’s Job Creation Programme (JCP) were also assigned to the school, one worldng the morning shift and the other four sharing the night shift in pairs of two. In addition, the school principal inspected all the classrooms on some days.

52. The Board was informed that one of the school attendants had testified that he had performed his normal duties prior to and on the day of the incident. The other had testified that, for safety reasons, he was told to stay away fi’om the school and to relocate to the health centre across the street and watch the school from there. Prior to and on the day of the incident, the JCP guards were also not at the school, but at the health centre, in accordance with the same instruction. The Board was informed that an UNRWA official had issued this instruction for fear that the building next door to the school would be shelled again.

53. The Board was informed that the school gate was unlocked during the period leading up to the incident in order to allow children access to the schoolyard. It was also informed that there were two sets of keys to the classrooms, one for the morning shift and the other for the afternoon. One set of keys was kept in the school principal’s office. It was unclear where the other set was kept.

54. A team of Operations Support Officers (OSO) had inspected the school on 2 June as part of a regular inspection programme for all UNRWA facilities, designed to prevent breaches of their “neutrality”. No weapons or signs of militant activity had been reported by the team during that inspection. No further inspections had been conducted by OSO teams after that date due to the declaration by UNRWA’s Gaza Field Office of a state of emergency on 8 July. The OSO teams had then ceased to operate and their members been assigned to other, emergency-related functions.

55. On 16 July 2015, a 120 MM mortar tube, a mortar bipod and twenty 120 MM mortar-round containers, with ammunition, were discovered under a blanket in the corner of a locked classroom. The weapom’y was photographed.

56. UNRWA senior management notified the local authorities in Gaza and asked that the weapons be removed. The United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS) contacted the Special Protection Unit (SPU) of the local police and also asked that the weapons be removed, apparently through the local police’s explosive ordnance detachment. The SPU asked that the United Nations guarantee that the IDF would not strike while the weapons were being removed and that a United Nations vehicle be used to remove the weapons. DSS refused.

57. The Board was informed that UNRWA had received testimony that two individuals identifying themselves as policemen had come to the school, alleged that they knew who was responsible for the cache of weapons and left a telephone number. Upon being contacted, one of these individuals stated that the weapons would be removed fi’om the school in the early morning. The Board was further informed that, early in the morning of 17 July, the door to the classroom in question was found locked, with no signs of forced entry or exit, and that it was noted that the weapons had been removed.

58. On 17 July, UNRWA informed Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the finding of the weapons and their subsequent disappearance. In the afternoon of 17 July, UNRWA issued a press release stating that a cache of approximately 20 rockets (sic) had been found hidden in a vacant school. Under a misapprehension that the explosive ordnance detachment of the local police had removed the weapom’y, the press release stated that UNRWA had informed the relevant parties and had successfully taken all necessary measures for the removal of the objects in order to preserve the safety and security of the school.

59. The Board found that, in the light of the situation in the vicinity, the security measures at the school were weak prior to and on the day of the incident, partly due to the fact that the personnel charged with the school’s security were subject to life-threatening circumstances. It also found that an unidentified Palestinian armed group had used the school premises to hide the weaponry.

Incident (i): Presence of weaponry at the UNRWA Jabalia Elementary “C” and Ayyobiya Boys School on 22 July 2014

60. The Jabalia Elementary “C” and Ayyobiya Boys School is one in a row of five schools situated in an urban area to the east of the Jabalia refugee camp. Behind the school is a large open area with small-scale agricultural land. The Board was informed that this area was known for its use as a firing site for armed groups and that it had been targeted by the IDF in past conflicts.

They've been doing this for decades Roudy.

Thanks bro. They pulled this same shit during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. American troops were witness to it. These Islamist animals have no hesitation in using schools, hospitals, ambulances, mosques, etc. The Palestinians are no different.
 
It is important to note that the summary was published without footnotes or accompanying evidence, while the full report is “an internal document and is not for public release.” These limitations make it difficult to assess the conclusions about Israeli actions and culpability. In this respect, it is unsurprising that many media accounts of the report are distorted.

Preliminary Notes on the Summary:

Evidence?

  • The details on the incidents were obtained through “interviews with staff of the [United Nations], including UNRWA, as well with relevant authorities and witnesses who could assist in its investigation” (14). As residents of Gaza and/or employees who have to continue to work in Gaza, the interviewees have a vested interest in minimizing their allegations against ruthless terror groups that operate there. The UN and UNRWA officials also have a clear interest in hiding the role of their organization in tolerating, facilitating, or actively assisting the commission of war crimes -- for instance, launching rockets and shielding fighters from counterattack in or around UN facilities.
  • The credibility of the anonymous Palestinian witnesses in Gaza is undermined by the incredulous claim that, in every case examined by the BOI, Hamas and other military groups were not present near the UN facilities where Israeli operations took place.
  • Despite Israeli claims regarding a number of incidents that its forces were not operating in the area, the BOI concludes that specific Israeli weaponry damaged UN facilities. No evidence is presented in the summary to support the UN’s counter allegations, making them impossible to evaluate.
  • The BOI consulted with “a number of investigation reports and other relevant source materials” (14). Presumably, this refers to NGO publications and allegations on the Gaza War. As shown by NGO Monitor, NGO claims on armed conflict in general, and on Gaza in particular, lack all credibility, are based solely on speculation and conjecture, contain innumerable factual and legal errors, and hide Palestinian combatant activity in order to inflate Israeli guilt and perpetuate a narrative of Palestinian victimhood.
Context of Israeli Regulations and Investigations

  • The BOI is distinguished from many other UN inquiries into Israeli conduct, in particular those related to the Human Rights Council and other human rights bodies, in providing context regarding (alleged) strikes by Israel on UN facilities.
  • This context shows that any such strikes were either directed at legitimate targets and inadvertently also struck civilian areas (a “motorcycle, which had been carrying three militants from Palestinian Islamic Jihad. By the time that it became apparent that the strike would coincide with the motorcycle passing by the school gate, it had no longer been possible to divert the missile.” – 44), were the result of “imperative reasons of military necessity” (47), or were a “deviation from IDF regulations” (33) and that the Israeli military is carefully investigating the relevant incidents and issues raised by the BOI.
  • Further reflecting the fundamental distinction between Israeli armed forces and Palestinian groups, Israel is asked to “give a commitment that, in the event that it plans any future military operation in proximity to United Nations premises, it will provide advance warning, sufficient to enable the United Nations to ensure the security and safety of its personnel or other civilians attending its facilities, and ensure that coordinating procedures are such that confusion or misunderstandings concerning UNRWA as well as other United Nations installations are excluded.” (99c)
UN Incompetence and Possible Abetting of War Crimes

Three of the incidents in the BOI report involve weapons belonging to Palestinian terror groups being found in UN facilities.

  • The following excerpts from the Summary highlight UNRWA’s irresponsible and incompetent approach to preventing exploitation and abuse of its facilities:
    • “The Board further found that UNRWA did not have a policy or SOP to address situations involving the unauthorized presence of weapons on UNRWA premises.” (88)
    • “The Board was informed that UNRWA had only 237 guards serving on staff contracts to provide security for all UNRWA installations. In order to assist in the maintenance of security during the conflict, the UNRWA Gaza Field Office consequently recruited local workers through its Job Creation Programme (JCP). They had no prior security training and the training provided to them upon their recruitment was minimal.” (84)
    • “The other [school attendant] had testified that, for safety reasons, he was told to stay away from the school and to relocate to the health centre across the street and watch the school from there. Prior to and on the day of the incident, the JCP guards were also not at the school, but at the health centre, in accordance with the same instruction.” (52)
    • There was evidence that, on several occasions, the JCP guards were not present at the school when the school attendant arrived in the morning, including the day of the incident. (74)
    • “...during normal times, UNRWA carries out unannounced inspections of UNRWA facilities,...These visits are carried out by teams of Operations Support Officers. Each team includes an international staff member. These inspections were discontinued during the conflict and the international staff members were regarded as non-essential staff.” (89)
    • “UNRWA should reconsider its security approach in relation to its schools and other installations, both in the context of emergency situations and during normal operations, and revisit its school inspection systems, including during emergencies.” (90)
    • The following recommendation from the end of the Summary implies that UNRWA staff were involved in terror activity, and highlights the UN’s institutional goal of keeping such incidents quiet:
    • The United Nations should request the Government of Israel to give a commitment that, at any time that it believes it has information that United Nations premises have been misused for military purposes or that UNRWA staff are involved in militant activities, such information will be promptly conveyed in strict confidence to the senior management of UNRWA or other United Nations entity…” (99b)
 
The Jewish Virtual Library has to adhere to certain norms. It is a propaganda organ just as the Palestinian Virtual Library would be, only a little less strident than something like CAMERA, or the The Jewish Press which are hard core propaganda machines.

I only use pro-Israel sites to make sure that I don't introduce pro-Palestinian partisanship in support of the facts that I post. I will not use pro-Israel sites in the future. It seems even pro-Israel sites are too pro-Palestinian for you. Go figure. By the way, your friend Ruddy attaching UN emblems to The Jewish V Press.Com is perfectly ok with you while my using the Jewish Virtual Library is not. Are you so brainwashed you can't see how absurd that is?

You call any site that doesn't kiss Palestinian ass 'propaganda', but the reality is that the only propaganda comes from pro Palestinian sites, and you know that's the truth.
 
No, I only use neutral or pro Israel sites, never known propaganda sites. All the sites linked by Ruddy are Zionist/Jewish sites
The Zionist propaganda machine is generating propaganda at a record rate. The Jewish Press.com is in turbo mode and Ruddy spreading the propaganda just as fast as his little fingers can type, posting all the propaganda The Jewish Press.com is generating in its "damage control" mode. It is hilarious watching this charade and how Ruddy doesn't supply the links to the propaganda.




So you are saying that the UN reports are Zionist propaganda now in your attempts at demonising the Jews.

STOP YOUR RACIST LIES

It is not a UN site. It is a Jewish propaganda. Uploading a UN seal on a text from a Jewish propaganda site doesn't make it a UN site. The childishness is just breathtaking.

Agency Demands Full Respect for the Sanctity of Its Premises in Gaza

Gaza

Today, in the course of the regular inspection of its premises, UNRWA discovered rockets hidden in a vacant school in the Gaza Strip. As soon as the rockets were discovered, UNRWA staff were withdrawn from the premises, and so we are unable to confirm the precise number is. The school and two other UNRWA schools currently each accommodate 1,500 internally displaced persons.

UNRWA strongly and unequivocally condemns the group or groups responsible for this flagrant violation of the inviolability of its premises under international law.

The Agency immediately informed the relevant parties and is pursuing all possible measures for the removal of the objects in order to preserve the safety and security of the school. UNRWA will launch a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident.

UNRWA has reinforced and continues to implement its robust procedures to maintain the neutrality of all its premises, including a strict no-weapons policy and regular inspections of its installations, to ensure they are only used for humanitarian purposes.

Palestinian civilians in Gaza rely on UNRWA to provide humanitarian assistance and shelter. At all times, and especially during escalations of violence, the sanctity and integrity of UN installations must be respected.

22 July 2014, nothing to do with the recent report that accused Israel.
 
The depravity of Palestinians knows no limits. Even schools aren't off limits.

UN Admits: UN Schools and Facilities Used by Hamas Terrorists
UN admits Israel was right - Hamas attacked Israelis from UN facilities. Oops.

Published: April 27th, 2015


Map of Gaza City rocket launcher sites in school yard. July 22, 2014

A United Nations Board of Inquiry (BoI) into the use and attack on UN facilities during Operation Protective Edge in Gaza, has been completed. The report itself is supposed to remain secret, but the cover letters attached to the report have been released.

The Board of Inquiry is a separate entity from Schabas’s Commission of Inquiry. Israel refused to cooperate with the Schabas inquiry, which was openly biased against Israel. Israel fully cooperated with the UN Board of Inquiry.

The UN inquiry found that “Israeli actions” killed 44 Arabs and injured 227 more who were inside UN premises. Israel investigated that incident.

But what was more important was that the report finally confirmed Israel’s claims that UN facilities were repeatedly being used by Hamas and other terrorists to store weapons and attack Israel.

In one school, 20 rockets were discovered.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon writes in his cover letter of his dismay in discovering that 3 UN schools were used to store weapons, and more seriously, two of the UN schools were used to launch attacks at Israel and Israeli troops.

Ah they don't have a military base like Israel do they?

Oh hello crazy woman, human beings don't use schools filled with kids to store and shoot rockets from, especially during a war. :cuckoo:

Gee, here's another unbiased source saying the same thing, that Palestinians used schools and hospitals to shoot rockets from, and that Monte's fulla shii'ite. Read their excuse: "we had no choice" :

Hamas DID use schools and hospitals in Gaza Strip as human shields Daily Mail Online

Hamas appeared to admit using human shields to fire rockets into Israel for the first time today, but refused to accept responsibility for the slaughter of hundreds of innocent Palestinians killed in retaliatory airstrikes.

In a veiled confession that comes two weeks after the end of the Gaza war, a senior Hamas official said the group's fighters had no choice but to use residential areas from which to launch missiles into their neighbour's territory.

But while Ghazi Hamad claimed they took safeguards to keep people away from the violence, he admitted 'mistakes were made', blaming Israel's heavy-handed response for the deaths of civilians.

    'Gaza, from Beit Hanoun in the north to Rafah in the south, is one uninterrupted urban chain that Israel has turned into a war zone,' said Mr Hamad, a senior Hamas official in Gaza.

    Increasingly, the discussion is not about whether the Hamas rockets were fired from civilian areas, but exactly how close they were to the actual buildings.

    'The Israelis kept saying rockets were fired from schools or hospitals when in fact they were fired 200 or 300 meters (yards) away. Still, there were some mistakes made and they were quickly dealt with,' Hamad told The Associated Press, offering the first acknowledgment by a Hamas official that, in some cases, militants fired rockets from or near residential areas or civilian facilities.

Israel tries to justify their barbaric attacks on civilian's taking refuge in what was supposedly safe site, by bringing up the fact that weapons were stored at other un-occupied school, the weapons were discovered and reported by the UN

Yea yada yada. What's barbaric is Palestinian animals using schools to store and shoot rockets from, and then using kids as human shields.

The Agency immediately informed the relevant parties and is pursuing all possible measures for the removal of the objects in order to preserve the safety and security of the school. UNRWA will launch a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident.

UNRWA has reinforced and continues to implement its robust procedures to maintain the neutrality of all its premises, including a strict no-weapons policy and regular inspections of its installations, to ensure they are only used for humanitarian purposes.

Palestinian civilians in Gaza rely on UNRWA to provide humanitarian assistance and shelter. At all times, and especially during escalations of violence, the sanctity and integrity of UN installations must be respected.

22 July 2014, nothing to do with the recent report that accused Israel.





NOPE wrong again Abdul as once the schools were used to store munitions they became valid military targets , read the Geneva conventions. So at any time after the rockets were found the schools were military targets
 
Israel tries to justify their barbaric attacks on civilian's taking refuge in what was supposedly safe site, by bringing up the fact that weapons were stored at other un-occupied school, the weapons were discovered and reported by the UN



And what do the psychopathic mass murdering hamas scum use to justify their constant attacks of Israeli children. Now where is your proof that the psychopathic mass murdering hamas scum did not use these schools to store munitions or terrorists in ?

The report said UN officials had been working with the militants, and that Israel fired on legitimate targets.
Many of the hamas complaints against Israel were exaggerations, misrepresentation and out right lies.
The full report is not to be released to the public but some of the finding are being referred to ICC, from the summery it is probably going to be against hamas. Mistakes were made on both sides but much of the accusations against the IDF seem to have been explained of justified by the investigation.
IDF have done their own internal investigation of complains and changes have been made against 6 soldiers.
the report suggests that out of the death recoded, 44 were civilians. Not the hundreds hamas claimed. Some of those deaths were collateral, ie firing on a legitimate target and civilians enter the danger zone too late to change direction of call off the firing. Unavoidable, not targeting civilians.
Cases IDF have investigated and deal with won't be eligible to be tried in the ICC. Hamas just shoots gazans they accuse of collaboration without a trial, that is a crime.
The finding seem to be heavier against hamas and UN workers helping them.
Hopefully some suggestion made will be implemented in the future.

Why are people still misrepresenting what happened? Now they will complain about the finding? Rant and rave against the ICC? Oh, don't forget 'it is all some conspiracy'....blah blah blah
Did palestinians really think that lying to the ICC investigators would actually help their cause?
 
"The report said UN officials had been working with the militants, and that Israel fired on legitimate targets."

Post a link to that claim or I say you made that up
