The Lies of John Ging

John Ging, the head of the UN Relief and Works agency, through which most EU aid to Gaza is distributed alongside the Red Cross and Red Crescent condemned the attack as "horrific" and suggested Israel knew it was targetting a UN facility.

Later, in the Globe and Mail investigation, Ging:

acknowledged in an interview this week that all three Israeli mortar shells landed outside the school and that "no one was killed in the school."

"I told the Israelis that none of the shells landed in the school," he said.

So there is no doubt that Ging blamed Israel for targetting a UN facility. While he knew perfectly, according to himself, that none of the shells landed in the school and no one was killed in the school either.

HonestReporting adds:

Already, one European Member of Parliament, Paul van Buitenen has submitted a parliamentary question based on the Globe & Mail's investigation. The MEP points out that UNRWA's John Ging admits in the article that Israel didn't attack the school but blames the confusion on the Israelis.

Van Buitenen goes on to say that considering the fact that the EU is UNRWA's single largest donor and that it wrongly condemned Israel for attacking the UN school:

Is the EU prepared to apologize to Israel for wrongly condemning it without checking the facts on the ground?
Is the EU prepared to investigate how it was possible that Mr. Ging apparently spread misleading information concerning the supposed attack on this UNRWA school and whether this was politically motivated?

Well, if UN and EU have condemned immediately the "Israeli attack on a UN school", we are still waiting for an apology to Israel for this lie.
They did not utter one single statement about UNRWA John Ging's blattant lies and subsequent blaming of the victim of his lies when they were exposed.

Double standards are a sure sign of antisemitism.
