A selective approach to the facts
The pressure group Arab Media Watch has put out a statement claiming that my observation in my Daily Mail column yesterday, that
Hamas has intercepted dozens of aid trucks and confiscated food and medical supplies bound for the UN stores in Gazais untrue. It bases its claim upon the following:
AMW chairman Sharif Hikmat Nashashibi spoke on the phone with John Ging, director of the UN Relief and Works Agency in Gaza, and its spokesman Chris Gunness. Ging described the claim as ‘completely untrue.’ Gunness described it as ‘utter nonsense,’ and said he would make a statement about this to the Mail. ‘It took me a few minutes to verify that this very serious claim is false,’ wrote Nashashibi in a letter to the newspaper. ‘Phillips could have, and should have, done the same.’Presumably, AMW will therefore have made the same complaint to Jordan’s Petra news agency, which reported on January 20 that
Hamas hijacked Jordanian aid trucks after they crossed into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing on Tuesday. The aid was to go to UNRWA. As the truck drivers started unloading the aid, Hamas gunmen opened fire on them and forced them to go to Hamas-run stores.and to the government of Jordan, which confirmed
on Tuesday that Hamas gunmen had seized the trucks shortly after they entered the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom border crossingand to Fatah, one of whose officials said
that on Monday night alone, Hamas gunmen intercepted 12 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid that had been donated by the Jordanian government to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. He said that the trucks were on their way to the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) when the gunmen belonging to the movement's armed wing, Izaddin al-Kassam, stopped them and confiscated their contents... Last week Fatah activists and eyewitnesses in the Gaza Strip claimed that Hamas had confiscated fuel and food that was en route to hospitals and schools housing thousands of Palestinian families.Perhaps AMW might care to bring all this to the attention of John Ging and Christopher Gunness? Now here is an analysis of both these gentlemen and the body they represent, which reports that
Ging accused Israel of killing the Palestinian driver of an aid truck on Jan. 7, 2009, while Israeli officials – including the medic who brought the Palestinians to a hospital in Ashkelon – said the driver’s death [was] the consequence of Palestinian sniper fire...Ging acknowledged, however, that he could not be absolutely certain that the attacks came from IDF forces, telling a reporter who asked whether other combatants may have been responsible, ‘There is a conflict going on.’And now let's look at UNRWA which has been supervising the Palestinian ‘refugee camps’ in Gaza for decades, during which time they have developed into mass production terror factories under its nose. The vast majority of UNWRA’s staff in Gaza are Palestinians – and all Gazans are either supporters of Hamas or are very firmly under their thumb. But when asked at a press conference whether UNRWA was indeed a Hamas front, John Ging stalled:
He was ‘just not going to answer’ allegations that UNRWA had been infiltrated by Hamas. No evidence had ever been provided by any authority, at any level. Absolutely no official allegation had been made.When you look at the efforts UNRWA has made over the years to ensure that none of its operatives is controlled by Hamas, no wonder he was coy. Fox News reported:
UNRWA official Chris Guinness told the Jerusalem Post this week that the agency screens names of new employees against the relatively small U.N. database of Taliban and Al Qaeda figures. Extremist Palestinians, however, are far more likely to belong to organizations, such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad and al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, that are not on that watch list.
In 2004, former UNRWA Commissioner-General Peter Hansen told the Canadian Broadcasting Company, ‘I am sure that there are Hamas members on the UNRWA payroll and I don't see that as a crime.’ (My emphasis) He added, ‘We do not do political vetting and exclude people from one persuasion as against another.’
...There have been several high-profile examples of terrorists being employed by UNRWA. Former top Islamic Jihad rocket maker Awad Al-Qiq, who was killed in an Israeli air strike last May, was the headmaster and science instructor at an UNRWA school in Rafah, Gaza. Said Siyam, Hamas' interior minister and head of the Executive Force, was a teacher for over two decades in UNRWA schools.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill say they are also concerned that terrorist propaganda is being taught in UNRWA schools. A notebook captured by Israeli officials at the UNRWA school in the Kalandia refugee camp several years ago glorified homicide bombers and other terrorists. Called ‘The Star Team,’ it profiled so-called ‘martyrs,’ Palestinians who had died either in homicide bombings or during armed struggle with Israel. On the book's back cover was printed the UNRWA emblem, as well as a photo of a masked gunman taking aim while on one knee.
There is evidence that students educated in UNRWA schools are much more likely to become homicide bombers, said Jonathan Halevi, a former Israeli Defense Forces intelligence officer who specializes in Palestinian terrorist organizations. Halevi has spent several years building an extensive database for the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs of terrorist attacks by Hamas and other Islamic extremist groups.
Though he cautioned that estimates are tricky because the identity of an attacker is not always made public, Halevi estimated that over 60 percent of homicide bombers were educated in UNRWA schools. By comparison, roughly 25-30 percent of Palestinian students in the West Bank, the origin of almost all homicide bombers since the start of the intifada in 2000, attend UNRWA schools, according to the agency’s figures.In October 2004, Arlene Kushner wrote a piece documenting UNRWA’s links to terrorism published by the Center for Near East Policy Research. As CAMERA records:
In this piece, Kushner writes of Hamas members controlling the unions representing UNRWA employees, of an UNRWA ambulance being used to transport weapons and explosives and to terrorists and of an UNRWA driver taking ‘advantage of the freedom of movement he enjoyed to transmit messages among Hamas activists in various Palestinian towns.’
Kushner also details the actions of Nahd Rashi Ahmad Atallah, a senior UNRWA official who admitted that during the months of June and July 2002, ‘he had used his car, an UNRWA car, for the transportation of armed members of the “Popular Resistance Committees” who were on their way to carry out sniper attacks against Israeli troops … and a missile attacks against Jewish settlements in the Northern part of the Gaza Strip.’
Also, in May 2008, the Global Research in International Affairs Center published an article detailing how UNRWA schools have ‘become hotbeds of anti-Western, anti-American, and antisemitic indoctrination, recruiting offices for terrorist groups.’ Included in this piece is a description of how Awad Al-Qiq, a science teacher at an UNRWA school served as the leading bomb maker for Islamic Jihad. According to the report’s authors ‘Islamic Jihad did not need to pay him a salary for his military and militant activities since the UN, and American taxpayers, were already doing so.’Now a devastating report on UNRWA by its former general counsel, James Lindsay, has just been published by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. It concludes:
Readers can make up their own minds whether one telephone call to UNRWA can really establish the truth of anything about Gaza at all.At the same time, UNWRA has gradually adopted a distinctive political viewpoint that favors the Palestinian and Arab narrative of events in the Middle East. In particular, it seems to favor the strain of Palestinian political thought espoused by those who are intent on a “return” to the land that is now Israel. UNRWA’s adoption of any political viewpoint is undesirable, but the one it has chosen to emphasize is especially regrettable. In addition to clashing with the objectives of the United States, this view has detracted from UNRWA’s humanitarian assistance, encouraged Palestinians who favor refighting long-lost wars, discouraged those who favor moving toward peace, and contributed to the scourge of conflicts that have been visited upon Palestinian refugees for decades.

January 27th, 2009 3:32pmThere is a joke that goes something like this: 'How do you know when a Hamas spokesman (or their sympathisers) are lying?
Answer:' When their lips are moving!'
You see, a liar only knows how to do one thing and that is LIE!!
However, you will never suppress the truth and one day THE truth will set us free!We will all know the truth one day!

January 27th, 2009 4:28pmGreat research Melanie. Have you passed it on to the BBC in the spirit of that organisation's new found impartiality?
Please keep up your extremely good work - it certainly provides me with a potent antidote to the general apathy, ignorance, evasion and mendacity of some mainstream media (and politicians).

January 27th, 2009 6:13pmI haven't seen any of this information put out on that great bastion of (self proclaimed) neutrality, that font of even-handed wisdom, the BBC. Perhaps a couple of billion quid isn't enough for them to run to a researcher or two for their 'news' department, what with Woss's wack, and all their vastly overpaid 'managers'. Melanie, you must have contacts at the BBC, perhaps you could tell them where to find unbiased information.

January 27th, 2009 6:47pmMelanie, there are only two possible conclusions here: Either the Mossad craftily used undercover IDF soldiers to hijack the trucks and Jordan was taken in by the ruse (just as the Mossad of course orchestrated 9-11), or the Jordanians were in on it too, just as Bush was in on 9-11.
Of course there is the third possibility, that Hamas is lying and the UN is either unaware or is playing along, but then who but a racist or a Zionist could suspect such a thing?
Thank you for exposing another instance of the UN aiding the terrorists; the question is how long before someone on this thread suggests either or both of the first two possibilities in earnest.

January 27th, 2009 7:01pmIts high time that hamas appologists like Ging/Gunness/UNRWA were shown up for their dishonesty and hamas sympathies, they are so ready to rubbish any evidence of collusion with terrorism they have tripped themselves up this time, there is no escaping from the facts, even their BBC/MSM allies cannot protect them now, I hope Israel demands a full investigation into the UNWRA/hamas axis, the can of worms that is UNRWA will shock people to the core.

January 27th, 2009 7:22pmThe suspension of disbelief required for believing anything the Palestinians say borders on insanity and yet- sober soft spoken ,former kidnap victim, Alan Johnston reported on the bbc ,as accepted fact,the Hamas alegation that 400 children had been killed in Gaza.What followed was the usual"If you have tears prepare to shed them now"bbc bash Israel polemic so -I turned it off because it,as it always does, turned my stomach.

January 27th, 2009 7:33pmThe BBC have given up on impartial a long time ago.
The frequent riots across Europe, the Beeb goes blind deaf and stupid.
When we are forced to pay a TV Tax then the news should not be censored nore twisted.
The BBC themselves were hounded by Hamas yet not one report of this at the time.
The photographs were there for all to see via an American blog.
As for the UN videos on You Tube speaks volumes about this Org.
The BBC and UN are well suited to their rolls.
That is if their roll is that of propagangist's

January 27th, 2009 8:29pmHmmm....
Firstly, again a great article Melanie. It sort of blows away the argument against doesn't it?
Worse still, I don't know if anyone noticed but have any noticed that the BBC, not forgetting the UK media has completely ignored the fact that Lord Nazir Ahmed threatened others in the Lord with rallying 10,000 Muslim protesters and take them to court if they invited Geert Wilders to the House of Lords and a screening of his video Fitna?
I do find this news, don't you? A member of the House of Lords bullying others with 'possible' violent protest unless he gets his own way?

January 27th, 2009 8:52pmI find your attemtps to discredit a humanitarian aid organisation desperate and pathetic. save the children reported severe malnourishment in Gaza's children before the Israeli incursion.Is save the children also in the hands of Hamas? The fact is Isreal has caused suffering through its blockade and incursions. 13 wrongs don't make 1300 rights. I have just made a donation to UNRWA.

January 27th, 2009 9:49pmIt's about time the disgraceful lies of the Hamas terrorists, as well as those of the UN and all the other 'save the terrorists' liars of the media world were exposed. There is no moral equivalent between Hamas terrorists and Israeli soldiers. No grey area exists. Hamas is a Jew-murdering machine whose only raison d'etre is to destroy Israel. When they can't manage to kill Jews they simply revert to killing other Palestinians - the old, women and children, and put them in the firing line. They herd innocents into 'safe places' and afterwards they alert the Israeli forces to those very places, and their dirty deeds are egged on by the slavering media circus.
Hamas doesn't fight to achieve a political solution. Negotiated agreements are only a means of achieving their one goal: the complete destruction of Israel in the name of their god. Their leaders are such cowards that they sit out conflicts in safe bunkers, or they go to Damascus, while they are prepared to watch from the sidelines how untold numbers of civilians lose their lives. Those very lives are themselves a means of achieving their goal, and dead children are the necessary small-change sacrifice which keeps the propaganda machine working.
All Hamas has to do to help Palestinians, for whom they say they are fighting, is to allow Israel to live in peace. But Hamas has never done that, and they never will.
While it is impossible to destroy every extremist, the only hope for a temporary and imperfect peace in Gaza is to kill off these sly terrorist no-gooders. That chance, however, probably won't come again anytime soon.
Americans, and people in the West generally, suffer from a tragic intellectual blind spot. They have all remained stuck with a concept of the old-fashioned terrorists; Arafat's PLO, the IRA, the Red Brigades. But however brutal those organizations may have been, they were't on a 'mission from God'. They may have wanted to change the world, for which they were prepared to spill a lot of blood, even in extreme circumstances their own, but they didn't seek out death. They preferred to live in order to lay claim to a 'better world'. Today, our civilization faces a terrorism whose aim is the promotion of death. They believe that anything can be justified if it serves the purpose of their god. And the basis of their belief is that all of us who are non-believers deserve to die. There is no compromise. If they only give in an inch they betray the trust which their god has placed in them. But in spite of this, many in Israel believe it possible to negotiate with them. For the sake of peace Israel gave up Gaza to Palestinians who until then had never had a state. As thanks they got terrorised by rockets and gang warfare. But peace is the last thing these terrorists want. Peace would mean that the game is up. Peace would mean the wrath of their god would be upon them. Peace would mean the end of their subterfuge. They couldn't even keep a peace for longer than six months.
This is a fight to the bitter end, even if we are afraid to admit it. But the clear message from the new US President that it is possible to negotiate with these fanatics is fearfully naive. But then that's because Obama's whole career has been built on the power of rhetoric, with words not deeds. But all the debates, meetings and negotiations behind closed doors didn't prepared him for men whose sole purpose is the destruction of Israel and the USA. If Obama displays the same stupidity as some of his predecessors he will be consumed by the beast before he even knows he's been bitten by it. the enemies of Israel have preached hatred for so long that even the moderates cannot turn back the clock. Why does the world hate Israel so much, and do everything to save Hamas? Because Israel has unmasked their lies. Israel doesn't need the help of dozens of NGOs with their crooked administrators who have codified Israelis as whites, whites who are born tyrants and oppressors. Even if Israel has achieved the norms and standards of Western civilization it is still not allowed to defend itself. Secretly, of course, leftists do believe that dark-skinned peoples are less civilized than whites. The leftists expect terrorists or African dictators to behave badly. Leftists are the greatest enemies of developing countries because they refuse to make them adhere to a principled standard of responsibility, leadership, and decency. The leftists expect developing countries to fail.
Do not believe the propaganda that the Palestinians in Gaza are fully behind Hamas in its conflict with Israel. They rue the day that they voted for Hamas. Hamas is busy killing every one of them.

January 28th, 2009 1:37amIts hardly suprising that The BBC et al are purveyors of twisted facts and truths This rot stems from the top...indeed the place where Honour and Honesty should prevail...has shown this week to be devout and craven cowards. It rufused to show "Fitna" under pressure from yet another Muslim who held the sword of protest over them.
Some onr should remind them of the following quote
"So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men."

Peter Turner
January 28th, 2009 10:45amWe hear too much about the blockade of Gaza by the Israelis. Gaza has a border with Egypt through which supplies of all sorts could be transported and Egypt is an Arab country. If Egypt has closed its border crossing with Gaza we should ask why? If Egypt has not closed its crossing into Gaza then claims that the IDF are blockading Gaza have no basis.

davidka
January 28th, 2009 11:48amWhat is even more taboo to our MSM that pornography or violence.
Answer:- the hundreds of speeches made by Islamists on Arabian networks demanding the annihilation and humiliation of the Jews (and sometimes the Americans and Christian kuffars too).
The toxicity of such broadcasts are enough to ruin at a stroke the aspirations of the new liberals to ally themselves with the likes of hammas and other Islamist based terror groups.

David
January 28th, 2009 12:26pmAugustus is right: "peace is the last thing these terrorists want", so why not try to build it?
The Arab world is not monolithic, Palestinians are not monolithic, Gazans are not monolithic and Hamas members are not monolithic. So what is wrong with identifying the most open to negotiation in each group and talking to them in order to undermine the most hardline.
We have to offer something in return, so what is the defence for settlement building in the West Bank?

NO CARL. Now I didn't. Onn a previous thread I pointed out that I had not, in reply to your last such accusation. I take it, therefore, that you are NOT reading.
And anyway, what remote relevance does that have to my comment above.
Carl
January 28th, 2009 2:48pmDixon, to remind you, after you had referred to Bosnian Muslims as "Moslem Drug dealers" and referred to the Serbs massacering them, you went on to type "I tend now to think that maybe the Serbs were right all along" The reference it has is that clearly you have a strong hatred of Muslims and this should be noted against your comments.

Unlike you I find Melalie's exposure of UNRWA's duplicity and corruption illuminating.
You are entitled to fund this vile organisation if you wish. But I bitterly resent being forced to fund UNRWA's consistent undermining of Israel's security and whitewashing of Palestinian terrorism through my taxes.

It's what left wing liberals do in spades...they just can't help it. I'm glad we have someone like Melanie to give it to us straight. No chance of the BBC or mainstream media doing that i'm afraid. The world is built on left wing lies and deceit and it's time it stopped.
All we want is the plain old truth, not doctored to suit the left.

January 28th, 2009 6:39pmKeep up the good work Mellanie. Could you put together a fact file detailing media bias as the basis for a petition that we could sign; demanding that the BBC reports facts rather than anti Israeli propaganda?
Penny
January 28th, 2009 7:07pmI think the point made that Gazan children were malnourished before the Israeli/Hamas conflict is quite pertinent.
Gaza receives more aid per capita than any other parallel situation. It is allowed to maintain its 'refugee'status into the 4th generation whereas the norm for every other such situation is the 1st generation only.
I have read various articles outlining the amount of aide directed to Gaza over the years - and it has been more than enough to have enabled their leaders to implement welfare, social, educational and employment changes. The question therefore is what is this aide actually spent on?
In respect of peace between Gaza and Israel - my gut feeling is that many Gazan's would want it. There are reports in Speigel indicating that Gazan's do blame Hamas for their troubles but are too frightened to speak out against them because to do so is suicide.
I have also read reports - BBC's amongst them - that since 2000, Fatah/Hamas have opened summer schools to train children from 12 - 15yrs old the glories of martyrdom and suicide bombing.
If Hamas genuinely wanted peace then a) Their Charter would reflect their intentions. I have read it and see no such desire for peace. I would recommend it as required reading for everyone - whatever faith they subscribe to
b)Running schools teaching young people hatred, violence and suicide bombing rather indicates that Hamas has a long-term plan in which peace isn't really on the agenda and neither are welfare, social, educational or unemployment initiatives.
It will continue to surprise me that those contributing financially to the situation in Gaza are not holding Fatah/Hamas accountable for how such aide is used. It DOES need to go to the welfare of the Gazan people and NOT to re-arming and 'Glory of Martyrdom'-type summer schools.
All people calling themselves humanitarian are right to be concerned at the welfare of people in war-stricken countries, but in the case of Gaza, more checks and balances need to be in place to ensure that women and children have a future and that young minds do not grow up seeing martyrdom as their main career choice.
I would hate to think my money was teaching a child how to kill himself and others too.
I actually believe that most Gazan's are fed up. They voted in Hamas because they were promised welfare and social reform - not because they wanted more and more war.

I will leave Dixon to refute carl,s nonsense .
