UN Blame Game

Tammy Bruce has a post up about the latest from the UN. It's all Israel's fault. Yeesh.

The UN, after having said nothing as severe when Palestinian government terrorists dug a tunnel under the wall, attacked Israeli soldiers, killing some and kidnapping another.

In other words, Israel is at fault for defending itself against a nation of terrorists and "civilians" who knowingly voted those savages into office.

The three-page statement, listing charges separately from six UN-affiliated agencies, called for "urgent action" to halt the rapid deterioration. Israel rejected the charges.

The statement charged that Israel's military offensive has caused mass violations of human rights of civilians in Gaza. Some result from an Israeli attack that destroyed the main Gaza power station [to hinder terrorist communication], others from the closing of vital crossing points [yes, to keep terrorists from crossing into Israel. The UN apparently expects Israel to keep the doors unlocked and open], and the rest from military operations [Oh yeah, the rest from Israel's attempts to find its kidnapped soldier which it would not be engaging in if Palestinian terrorists hadn't kidnapped the soldier in the first place], it said.

The world body expressed alarm over events in Gaza "which have seen innocent civilians, including children, killed, brought increased misery to hundreds of thousands of people and which will wreak far-reaching harm on Palestinian society."

Among the specific issues listed, the statement said Gaza is "on the bring of a public health disaster," including a shortage of medicines. Also, children in Gaza "are living in an environment of extraordinary violence, insecurity and fear."

Unless and until the UN begins to call the Palestinian behavior into account, there can be no real solution to this problem. The blame here is not one sided. The Palestinians are calling this down on themselves by kidnapping, terror attacks and by launching rockets into civilian areas.
