Bentway, would you hide in an all girls school and fire mortars and heavy machine guns at real soldiers? IDF shell kills 30 in Gaza UN school; Israel mulls appeal over Hamas fire from UN facilities By Barak Ravid and Natasha Mozgavaya, Haaretz Correspondents and Haaretz Service Tags: hamas, israel news, gaza Israel is considering submitting a complaint to the United Nations of Hamas' use of the world body's facilities for terror purposes, after 30 people were killed when an Israeli army artillery shell struck a UN school in Gaza. Israeli troops say that they were fired on from the building. The Israel Defense Forces soldiers attacked the UN-run girl's school near the Jabalya refugee camp in self-defense, saying militants barricaded inside began firing mortar rounds at them. "Initial checks ... show that from inside the school mortars were fired at Israeli forces," an IDF spokesman said. "In response, the forces fired a number of mortar rounds into the area." Advertisement The army also said that the bodies of Hamas militants were found inside the school following the attack. Troops identified two of the casualties at the site as Imad and Hassan Abu Askhar, who served as heads of the Hamas mortar units in Gaza. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni met Tuesday evening to discuss how the incident at the Jabalya school would be investigated. "Hamas is making every effort to cover up the details of the incident," defense establishment officials said. A spokesman of the Israeli Embassy in the U.S. said that it was clear that the site was not operating as a school at the time of the attack. Hamas has once again cynically chosen to use civilian sites from which to operate, thus endangering the safety of innocent civilians," he said. "This is not the first time that Hamas has fired mortars and rockets from schools, which deliberately uses civilians as human shields in their acts of terror," he added, citing footage from an unmanned plane showing rockets and mortars being fired from the yard of an UNRWA school. Meanwhile, the UNRWA is demanding an independent investigation and the indictment of anyone found to have violated international law. The attack brought the Palestinian death toll to nearly 600 in Israel's 11-day offensive on the Hamas-ruled coastal territory. Also on Tuesday, Israel Air Force warplanes struck a building in Gaza in which the head of Hamas' rocket division was staying. It was not immediately clear whether Ayman Sayam was hit in the attack, which occurred in the Jabalya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

Sorry, but kingObama is not even 1/2 black. But you are right about one thing. The leftists(you) are so guilt ridden about their great granddaddies having slaves, that they felt something had to be done. Maybe this "vote" will assuage their guilt, you think? That and the millions of overseas bucks that poured into kingObama's coffers..LOL! change you can believe in. It would be funny watching the moron franken make an ass of himself in the senate, but for the fact that he is so ignorant that all he will be is just be a lockstep leftist vote. But I can see you have no more respect for him than I do. No one does. BTW, are you teaching your kids to be suicide bombers?
