Israel Arrests UN 13 Employees (link)

This news is a couple days old, but just in case anyone missed it... Apparently Israel has arrested 34 UNRWA employees over the last year, mostly without charges. The head of the UNRWA, Peter Hansen made a particularly controversial statement recently about how some of the 24000 palestinian UNRWA employees are members of militant groups like Hamas, and followed by saying that not every Hamas member was a militant, implying they also had a legit political wing.

I got a kick out of the super blurry picture of the white UN van in the article that is alleged to be holding a rocket. I wonder if they didn't just borrow a pre-gulf war pictures of Saddam's "mobile weapons laboratories", and tack a UN label on it. Needless to say, I'm largely desensitized to any evidence involving blurry arial pictures of white vans. I don't know why news organizations even publish such poor evidence. You'd think it would harm their credibility, but I guess if the evidence is from a government source it instantly becomes newsworthy.
