UNRWA spokesman reports Israeli retraction of mortar claims

Senior UNRWA spokesperson Chris Gunness reports, apparently with authorisation, Israeli retraction of its claims that mortars were fired by Hamas from within the Al-Fakhura school in Jabalaya. This statement, incidentally, has been reported in only a tiny sample of news reports, despite its obvious significance concerning a recent alleged war crime.

israel= apartheid terror state and illegal expropriation and occupation of the Palestinian land.

Some fact are undeniable for anyone.

Please make sure that this evidence is not lost. It is vital that this is kept somewhere safe. When it comes to collating evidence for war crimes by the UN and other international bodies, it will most certainly prove useful. Nowhere in the media was this retraction made clear. I believe the intention of much of the western media is to brush over this retraction in silence.

Chris Gunness has shown real passion in his attempts to speak up for Gaza's civilians, his interviews on the UK's Channel 4 news have left little doubt that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza. Last night he piece-by-piece destroyed every Israeli justification for their tactics and exposed their lies, leaving the IDF spokeswoman  speechless.

I hope the Obama presidency can help bring real change, but I won't hold my breath

This is all part of the israeli propoganda machine. The more they can spin, the more innocents they can kill.

It shouldn`t surprise anyone that Israel is shooting at civilians. It`s the Palestinian Holocaust. Israel will pay for that.
