    In an interview with Israel Radio, the UN official said material entering the coastal strip was not being confiscated for military needs, but to help rebuild houses destroyed during the July-August war Israel fought against Hamas militants in Gaza.

    Rowley called for speeding up the rehabilitation process, adding that steps needed to be taken to lift the blockade on Gaza.

    I understand that the UN confirmed the report from a very reliable hamas source. After all, why would they lie?

    Well, if the UN says so then it must be true.

    There was no evidence that they used the concrete for military purposes last time also, so I’m not surprised to read that they have not found any reason to suspect that the supplies are being used to trade for guns and ammunition and other weapons.
    All those who receive the supplies are angels of course.
    So what else is new?

    Nor did the UN have any proof that Hamas was using their schools as storage for weapons last summer (until several months after the fact)!

    This is the same UN that said that had no idea who stored missles in UN schools, they still don’t know who put them there and are still investigating.
