U.N. Condemns Israel, U.S. For Not Sharing Iron Dome With Hamas -- Washington Times

The United Nations slammed Israel for possibly committing war crimes in its fight against Hamas — and then backed that accusation by suggesting the Jewish nation ought to be sharing its Iron Dome defensive technology with the very terror group it’s fighting.

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said to members of the media at an “emergency” meeting of the U.N. Human Rights Council that Israel was falling short in its duty to protect citizens in the Gaza Strip from getting killed by its rockets.

“There is a strong possibility that international law has been violated, in a manner that could amount to war crimes,” she said, Breitbart reported.

My Comment: For those who may not know .... I worked for the UN (via through ICAO) for four years from 1989 - 1993. Believe it or not .... but during my contract with the organization I met some who were worse and far more incomprehensible than Navi Pillay.

I'm starting to see that the U.N is getting very personal in this case. At least the likes of Navi Pillay and those who share her view.

What an incredibly idiotic thing to say. Next she'll be mouthing off that Israel should give Hamas a nuke or two from their 'secret' stockpile!

It's a big threat to them all Plowman. Exposes them for what they are and threatens to cut off the money. Can't have that you know.
