Palestinians pass the "global test"
I wonder what Senator Kerry's explanation for this is:
"UN officials said Saturday they are investigating a claim by the Israeli military that Palestinian terrorists transported a rocket in a vehicle with UN markings, but accused Israel of having made false allegations in the past.
"On Friday, the IDF released video footage [be warned - it takes forever to load] taken from an unmanned aircraft, or drone, flying over the Jebalya refugee camp. The blurred black-and-white video showed three men walking toward the U.N. vehicle, including one who carried an elongated object. The army said the object was a rocket."
Take note of the well-known, open-faced anti-Israel bias on the part of "UN officials." It was that on which they elaborated, not the Palestinian-UN chicanery:
"This won't be the first time false allegations have been made against us. Everyone who has seen the footage has told me the object looks more like a folded-up stretcher than anything else."
Who is "everyone"? Everyone at Turtle Bay?
"'Especially since it was being carried with one hand. A Kassam rocket would be too heavy for a man to carry with one hand. Unless we are talking about Goliath, (he) could hardly carry a Kassam rocket as a light object in one hand,' Hansen told The Associated Press."
But, according to the IDF website, the Kassam rocket is about 2 meters long and weighs on average 5.5 KG (about 12 pounds). Even a pudgy, middle-aged couch potato like your humble host could probably manage that, at least for a little while.
"'This is not the first time that we have allegations that turn out to be false or rather (are) based on very, very insufficient evidence,' he said."
So much for the bona fides of this so-called UN "investigation."
But I'm sure that, should the Arab/Muslim world ever succeed in pushing the Israelis into the Mediterranean and finish what the Holocaust started, the UN "Security" Council will be quick to pass a ceremonial resolution of crocodile sorrow.
I'd feel a lot safer if they could muster the honesty to relocate to Paris and be done with it.
