Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz announced today (Sunday) that UNWRA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) ambulances were used to steal and transport body parts of Israeli soldiers killed in last Wednesday’s bomb attack on the Philadelphi route in southern Gaza. The senior minister called upon UN Secretary-General Kofi Anan to address the disturbing phenomenon.
At today’s cabinet meeting, Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said that the UN ambulance, which had also been used to transport terrorists, had been captured by security forces near the Philadelphi area. He said that only after intense diplomatic pressure did UNRWA announce that it would conduct an internal investigation into the matter. He issued a call to UN Secretary-General Kofi Anan as well, urging him to conduct an external audit examining the extent of the involvement of the UN aid program with terrorism.
It was initially reported, following a press conference by the Gaza division commander Brigadier-General Shmuel Zakai, that Israel had documented evidence showing Palestinian terrorists using ambulances disguised as United Nations vehicles. Following the capture of the vehicles used, it became clear that they were genuine UN vehicles.
UN spokesman Fred Eckhard said the UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, was aware of the allegations made through the media by Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz. "Both he and the Commissioner-General of [the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNWRA)] take such accusations very seriously," he said.
UNRWA issued a statement claiming armed terrorists threatened the lives of an UNWRA ambulance team and forced them to transport an injured gunman and two of his armed colleagues to a hospital in Gaza City last week.
In the October 2000 abduction of three soldiers from the northern border, Hizbullah also used UN vehicles to kidnap the soldiers who were all killed.
Seriously. No joke.
I wish that Israel threatened to be as bad as everyone always claims they were...for one day. If Israel said, for the next year, we are going to keep track of all the things we are wrongly accused of. At the conclusion of that year, we are, for exactly one day, going to be as horrible as you have made us out to be by doing all that accuse us of. If you accuse us of killing thousands of innocents, we will kill thousands of innocents. If you accuse us of driving thousands of Muslims from their homes...we will actually drive thousands of Muslims from their homes.
We wish there were a better way to make clear the difference between the reality and the Arab's lies, but unfortunately, there is no other way left after 50 years of trying.
After that 24 hours is over, no one will ever mistake our extremely limited precision necessary defenses as brutal or extreme again. If you refuse to put your rhetoric in context, we will put it in context for you.
it's a beautiful dream.
You certainly have an idea that deserves some thought.
Accuse me of something, then prove it, then and only then you can announce to the world what you have found.
Would we ever hear from the Democrats again?
<< transport BODY PARTS???
These are barbarians... >>
I have seen many reruns of newsreel film of these bloody barbarians running about with bags of body parts held high.
Like children on an Easter egg hunt.
Psychopatholgically-infantile, hesperophobic bloody barbarians.
The whirlwind is coming.

You are seriously in error about the timing of such an action.
Israel's suggested twenty-four hour period of acting out the "palestinians" and the world's lies should begin Right Now.
And the next twelve months -- or so [We can take it!] -- be spent listening to the whimpers -- from Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan -- of the survivors of the abjectly defeated and ejected barbarian occupiers of Sumaria, Judea and Gaza.
And to those of their Foggy Bottom, East River, EUro-peon and other turd-world inciters, enablers, facilitators, apologists, financiers and profiteers.
Okay .. do I have this right ..??
The UN is involved in stealing $10 billion dollars from Iraq's oil for food program.
The UN is involved in a child abuse ring against blacks.
The UN is using their ambulances to transport Israeli body parts .. to cause grief to Israel.
AND THIS IS THE ORGANIZATION THAT JOHN F'ing KERRY WANTS TO USE TO RUN IRAQ.
This is disgraceful! Anybody with half a brain can see the UN is in no condition to run anything; they can't even run themselves.
bttt
Don't forget Sudan on the "Human Rights Commission"!
"Nope, not barbaric ...
SATANIC
Look folks ... this is a spiritual war ... a war between God and Satan.
We in America have traditionally sided with God against all others and have been blessed for it.
The time is upon us."
You are right on, knarf. Immorality is a national security risk.
Right! That's a good point!
Israel is, and always was, a decent, fair and humane country. I think it appropriate that they give their enemies fair warning of their course of action, and allow them one last (resolution 1441 type eighteenth last) last chance to be engage in dialogue based on actual reality.
"Oil For Food", "Body Parts For Land".
I hope this thread provides a means to demand an immediate and total end to the toleration of using the UN continuously as support for terrorists. This has got to stop.
Why?
No wonder the democrats hate President Bush and his administration and republicans in general so very much........they are grown-ups!!! It must be like having mommy and daddy at the helm. All work and no play. The press misses the WH parties, jumping up and down on the Lincoln bedroom bed and raunching it up at Camp David on tax payer dollars. What a bummer. Grown-ups are just NO FUN!
Because he wanted to destroy his enemies.
Who is calling for kofis resignation?
Ack, where do these sfb journalists get their headlines? It's become a daily disgrace.
Kofi was probably the one who ok'd it.
