UNESCO does good work, like funding a terrorist site.

A small portion of the evidence showing the true colors of this university in Gaza.

Israel has slammed a UNESCO decision to endow a science chair at a university in Gaza which is a Hamas stronghold involved in weapons production and storage, terrorist training and vile anti-Israel and antisemitic indoctrination.

A spokesperson for Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said of the proposed Chair in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Sciences at the Islamic University of Gaza:

Scientists and Academics at the University double as Hamas technocrats.

The Islamic University serves as an employment program and intellectual retreat for Hamas leaders.

The University conducts lectures on Hamas' radical ideology and concentrates on hostility to Israel;

Hamas uses Gaza University laboratories to develop and produce explosives and rockets and has even run a course on explosive making.

The university is a warehouse for weapons and a venue for secret meetings of military leaders.

Israeli ambassador to UNESCO Nimrod Barkan said of the endowment:

This is an institution that assists terror and has been involved in terror in the past... We don't think it was proper to give a chair with such lack of caution, without even checking the institution first.

In February 2007, before Hamas' bloody coup in Gaza, Ynet reported on a Palestinian Authority (PA) security raid on the university, where it was believed captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was being held captive:

Palestinian officials have labeled the university a "sanctuary for wanted men" and they note that Hamas mastermind Yahya Ayyash fled from the West Bank to Gaza in 1995 and hid in the Islamic University for several months during the time he was being pursued by Israeli forces for his role in numerous suicide bombings in the 90's.

Ayyash and other wanted Hamas members took advantage of the fact that none but Hamas loyalists set foot in the university.

That changed last Thursday when troops from Fatah's Force 17 raided the university campus, confiscating some 2,000 AK-47 assault rifles, hundreds of RPG launchers and massive amounts of ammunition.

Fatah troops also uncovered a tunnel opening leading all the way to the Palestinian Police headquarters in Gaza City. Estimates suggest Hamas had intended to fill the tunnel with explosives and destroy the police building.

Palestinian sources say that during the raid forces also tried to find any clues which may lead them to the location of Shalit.

Lol, you probably upset Buddy boy.

Maybe, but by me, he's seldom given a thought

Well, someone's sure thinking about him; there's a looooot of posts about him, without him even present, and just in the past 24 hours.

Of course. Since Jews have contributed so much to advancing the world's knowledge, that's the least we can do.

By the by, I'm usually curious about handles,noms de plume, alias and the like. Mine is for my pet Maltese..My pet Peeves..for example. A bud is an undeveloped or embryonic shoot is it not.

That's true working on the assumption that if given enough fertilizer a bud will reach its full potential.

Glad to be of assistance.

It's the equivalence of the Spartacus scene all standing and shouting, "I'm a Jew." To counter a obsessive poster turning everything wrong in the world on Jews,or jews, as the case may be. He sort of demands the attention don't you think?

Yes, I certainly grant you that. "Socialist" and "kraychik," also belligerant one-note posters, are getting a number of comments as well.

I'm not objecting, just to make it clear; it was a throwaway comment on my part.

It's spelled belligerEnt.

Nope. Belligerent. The e isn't capitalized.
