Plaestinians Using UN Ambulances

Palestinians are using United Nations ambulances, complete with markings, to stage attacks on Israeli forces (via LGF).

Access Middle East - A|ME has obtained file footage (taken May 11 in Gaza's Zeitoun district) of UN ambulances used by Palestinians to safeguard militants and weapons. A network of fake Palestinian ambulances used to smuggle militants inside Israel has also been discovered. While PA lawmaker Saeb Erekat denies accusations, a controversy erupts.


Here's a direct link to the video.

I'll stop short of accusing the UN of actively supporting the Palestinians. I don't think there's enough evidence for that sort of a claim yet, but one has to wonder about the UN's ability to be effective in that region when such widespread abuse of its resources goes unchecked for this long.

Let me see, I’ll accuse them of at least being useless and spineless and all around more like the mafia than anything else.
