Ambulances for Terror
Rescue vehicles exploited as Terrorist Tools:
…an Israeli television station aired footage of armed Arab terrorists in southern Gaza using an ambulance owned and operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) — which has received more than $2.5 billion in taxpayer subsidies. Palestinian gunmen used the UN emergency vehicle as getaway transportation after murdering six Israeli soldiers. Senior UNRWA employee Nahed Rashid Ahmed Attalah confessed to using his official UN vehicle to bypass security and smuggle arms, explosives and terrorists to and from attacks. Nidal ‘Abd al-Fataah ‘Abdallah Nizal, a Hamas activist, worked as an UNRWA ambulance driver and admitted he, too, had used an emergency vehicle to transport munitions to terrorists.
It continually amazes me how people can see and hear such reports as these and continue to lay blame and cries of “disproportionate response” at the feet of Israel, how they can still naively believe that what looks like a civilian facility must necessarily be a civilian facility and only a civillian facility, and when all else fails, fall back on the ever-popular “Well, if they really hate Israel that much, then I guess Israel doesn’t belong there.
I mean, really. The mind boggles.
