Do you really think the UN is storing weapons for Hamas? If you do, you should take a step back and realize how ridiculous you sound.
I don't sound ridiculous to me. I'm not the guy who makes the rules the UN must comply with, but here's my question. How did the rockets get in there in the first place? How long were they in there for ... before they were 'reported'? Under what circumstances were they formally reported? You see ... there's a whole bunch of unanswered questions.
Hamas is running free throughout Gaza. They do what they want, when they want, until they fire rockets at Israel. Then ... all the Intel Israel has been collecting turns into targeting data and schools get blown up.
Let me ask you, would you let your kids attend a school that was being used as an arsenal ... even for a day?

I have said it before and I will say it again, Israel is facilitating the delivery of rockets into Gaza. The iron dome stops almost all of them anyway. Israel supplies them - however indirectly - with rockets, then Israel starts a fight by bulldozing over their land, petitioning to keep them out of the UN as well as a list other dehumanizing tactics that Palestinians react to in a way that is typical to human nature. This is typical problem/reaction/solution. It is a full time false flag meant to slowly engulf all of Palestine. How much longer till Israel says "That's it!, We are taking control of Gaza for the security of Israel" ??? We all know it is coming, and we all know "how" it got there. Who stands the most to gain? That is who is making sure rockets get into Gaza. Common sense would dictate....
The aim of the Qassam rocket design appears to be ease and speed of manufacture, using common tools and components. To this end, the rockets are propelled by a solid mixture of sugar and potassium nitrate, a widely available fertilizer. The warhead is filled with smuggled or scavenged TNT and urea nitrate, another common fertilizer. This is close to Ammonite.
The rocket consists of a steel cylinder, containing a rectangular block of the propellant. A steel plate which forms and supports the nozzles is then spot-welded to the base of the cylinder. The warhead consists of a simple metal shell surrounding the explosives, and is triggered by a fuse constructed using a simple firearm cartridge, a spring and a nail.

Israel has no need to have anything to do with them.

It is funny how the west bank seems to function well with Israel

Cenk breaks down the Gaza War and the destruction the Palestinians suffer at the hands of the IDF. I have nothing more to add than I completely agree with his analysis.
Sorry, Swills. I have to disagree with Cenk. He artfully downplays the sanctity of UN (anything) responsibilities to comply with the rules of war. If those schools are 'supposed to be' non-targets ... they should never have been used for weapons storage ... EVER.
Same thing with the dual roles of Palestinian ambulances. You can't use them to transport patients ... turn around and use them to transport 'freedom fighters' ... and not expect them to be fired on as legitimate targets.
All I saw in your video was one side of the argument being 'spun' ... and that's all I have to say about that.

Under the Geneva Convention, once a soldier has been incapacitated and is no longer a threat, that makes them a non-player. Your not supposed to fire on ambulances or hospitals.

Only one side can prevent peace? That delusion right there shows you are so biased nothing you say has any value.

Or you have zero knowledge of how we've gotten to this point. It has been laid out in words. Demilitarize the area and go back to pre 1967 borders. That's still a major victory for someone who took the land on a 2,000 year old promise.
But I noticed how you skipped over the other serious issues I mentioned.

I don't think Snarl is saying he believes the UN is allowing them to store rockets. I think hes saying that either way, the UN is responsible for those buildings, and they should know whats going on in their own house, so to speak.
