UN bashes—Hamas?

Filed under: Israel — Meryl Yourish @ 11:00 am

Look around you for flying pigs, people. A UN official is actually noticing that Hamas is committing war crimes.

United Nations Humanitarian Affairs Chief John Holmes blasted Hamas Tuesday for its “cynical” use of civilian facilities during recent hostilities in the Gaza Strip.

“The reckless and cynical use of civilian installations by Hamas and indiscriminate firing of rockets against civilian populations are clear violations of international humanitarian law,” Holmes told the UN Security Council.

[...] Holmes added that Hamas must not interfere with the movement of humanitarian supplies and urged Israel to reopen the border crossings to allow large quantities of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

Will this change anything?

No. This is also the guy who said that the Darfur refugees should suck it up and go home rather than live their entire lives in refugee camps. I don’t believe the irony of his words (regarding UNRWA) ever struck the man.
