UN Complicity in Terror

We've repeatedly seen that the UN operations in Gaza have been thoroughly penetrated by Palestinian terrorists, and this week witnessed yet another UNRWA official outed as a terror master.

In this most recent case, the person involved was a teacher at a UN-run school, and he happened to be a terrorist in charge of designing and building rockets used to attack Israel on a near daily basis.

United Nations officials say they're shocked - shocked! - to learn that the headmaster at one of their top prep schools in Gaza was also the chief rocket-maker for Islamic Jihad.

Thankfully, Awad al-Qiq, for the past eight years a science teacher at schools run by the UN's Relief and Works Agency, won't be assembling any more weapons: An Israeli airstrike last week took out his bomb-making operation - plus him.

Now the UN agency, which Israel has long accused of complicity with terrorists, must explain how it let a high-ranking terrorist take charge of its Rafah Prep Boys School.

He was guilty, of course: Islamic Jihad actually ID'd him as "chief leader of the engineering [i.e., bomb-making] unit." His home was bedecked with Islamic Jihad posters - and an Islamic Jihad flag was draped over his body at his funeral.

Indeed, Islamic Jihad gave him the ultimate sendoff tribute: firing a barrage of his rockets into Israel in mourning.

So much for UNRWA's self-proclaimed "zero-tolerance policy toward politics and militant activities."

Of course, that policy was pretty well shown up as a joke when a UNRWA teacher named Saeed Seyam was named interior minister of the Hamas-led government in Gaza and immediately vowed never to arrest any Palestinian for "resisting the occupation."

The UNRWA is a complete and utter joke as it serves as a cover for Palestinian terrorism and its very existence exacerbates the Palestinian suffering. The Palestinians do not take responsibility for their own situation, instead blaming Israel for every ailment and situation facing the Palestinians. Note that the Palestinians are claiming that Israel is withholding fuel shipments to Gaza, but ignore the fact that the same Palestinian terrorists were busy trying to attack and blow up the fuel depot from which Gaza obtains its fuel. The Palestinians want Israel to provide them with the fuel and energy Gaza needs to support its ongoing war against Israel.
