The United Nations has reversed its stance on one of the most contentious and bloody incidents of the recent Israel Defense Forces operation in Gaza, saying that an IDF mortar strike that killed 43 people on January 6 did not hit one of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency schools after all.

It seems that the UN has been under pressure to put the record straight after doubts arose that the school had actually been targeted. Maxwell Gaylord, the UN humanitarian coordinator in Jerusalem, said Monday that the IDF mortar shells fell in the street near the compound, and not on the compound itself.
...
So I guess all the pictures shown here never actually happened. The UN must have succumbed to the pressure, similar to how they backed off the investigation into "Israel's" diliberate targeting of the UN shelter in Qana in 1996.

As for Jenin, verified, corroborated eyewitness accounts clearly establish that "Israel" committed horrible crimes and deliberately targeted civilians. In one case an old man on a wheelchair carrying a white flag was shot and then run over by a tank. "Israel" can continue to lie, and the US can continue to bully the world into accepting "Israel's" lies, but as one Palestinian poet said, "All that you have done to our people is registered in notebooks." We will never forget and we will never forgive.
