The UN in Gaza

The Israelis have long accused the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the UN's relief agency in Palestine, of helping Palestinian terrorists. Now it turns out that one fatality in a recent Israeli air strike in Gaza was none other than Awad al-Qiq, science teacher and headmaster of the Rafah Prep Boys School, run by UNRWA. He was building rockets for Islamic Jihad to fire into Israel; although his family and UNRWA said they knew nothing about his secret life, Islamic Jihad celebrated him as one of their own. Makes you wonder what he taught in his science classes! Read all about it here (thanks to Melanie Phillips).
