text: In reply to message56304: This brings to mind a quick story. While I was briefly in the IDF, I served mostly in Gaza, 1990-1992. It was always the UN hospitals that housed Palestinian terrorists, and the rock always flew thickest whenever we drove by a UN compound. One day, I was in the Jabaliya refugee camp on a patrol of two jeeps. I was in the back of the command jeep, a rifleman. There was a funeral and it got way out of hand. We were rushed. The commander gives the order to pull out. Just then, a UN jeep rolls in and blocks our path. I shouldered my M-16 and aimed at the blue hat driving. He got the message and drove out of the way. We escaped. What I am trying to say here is that nothing surprises me when it come to the UN.
