The UN and Israel

The UN is institutionally biased against Israel; "between January 2003 and March 2008, tiny Israel - its population not half that of metropolitan Cairo's - was condemned no fewer than 635 times. The runners-up were Sudan at 280, the Democratic Republic of the Congo at 209, and Burma at 183. North Korea was cited a mere 60 times, a third as many as the United States." (thanks Archbishop Cranmer for the spot).

The UN routinely criticise Israel for practically everything whilst looking on benignly when other countries murder many thousands of their population.


Now I read that:

"A Palestinian headmaster and science teacher at a United Nations school in Gaza also built rockets for Islamic Jihad.

Awad al-Qiq's double life, revealed after he was killed last week in an Israeli airstrike, represents a major embarrassment for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, according to a Reuters report. UNRWA has insisted to Israel and the world that it does not help Palestinian terrorists.

No one from the United Nations attended the funeral or visited Qiq's widow and five children, relatives told Reuters. UNRWA is looking into the issue.

Reuters reported that Qiq's body was wrapped in an Islamic Jihad flag at his funeral and that the organization's leaders called him a martyr who led their "engineering unit" -- code for bomb makers.

Israel's April 30 attack at Rafah, close to the Egyptian border, hit a workshop used for making rockets and weapons. Qiq was involved in developing rockets and mortars, an Israeli intelligence source told Reuters.

Israel has claimed for years that Palestinian terrorists use UNRWA equipment to fight Israel."
