It Takes Burning Down A Summer Camp For UNRWA To Notice
Masked gunmen from an Islamist group torched a UN-run summer camp for children and teens in Gaza on Sunday, Army Radio reported, the top UN aid official in Gaza said.
John Ging says the assailants tied up the guard early Sunday, burned tents and vandalized bathrooms. UN officials say the attackers left behind three bullets and a note threatening to kill Ging and others unless the UN cancels its activities for some 250,000 Gaza children.
Two days before the incident, the previously unknown "The Free of the Homeland" group issued a statement criticizing the camp's organizer, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), for "teaching schoolgirls fitness, dancing and immorality."
UNRWA responded to the destruction, saying Gazan youths suffer from heightened stress, and need opportunities like this summer camp, calling the perpetrators of the act, "people who hate life and children."
[emphasis added]
Sure now they notice.
What they apparently did not notice is that telling terrorists that they hate life is a compliment.

When will the Palestinian people finally as realize that they are being used as pawns and scapegoats by their so-called leaders in their quest for power and wealth?
Former 'leaders' squandered billions of dollars for their own desires (Mrs, Arafat now lives extremely well in Paris) and the cycle continues with no improvement in the lives of the average citizen.
