well, how about the official UN report on the israeli shelling of a UN base in southern lebanon? or are the UN to be dismissed as producing 'pro-palestinian propaganda'?

if i may offer some extracts?

Quote:
the pattern of impacts in the Qana area makes it unlikely that the shelling of the United Nations compound was the result of technical and/or procedural errors
Quote:
I view with utmost gravity the shelling of the Fijian position, as I would hostilities directed against any United Nations peace-keeping position. But this incident is all the more serious because civilians, including women and children, had sought refuge in the United Nations compound at Qana.
Quote:
During the shelling, there was a perceptible shift in the weight of fire from the mortar site to the United Nations compound
and the findings? it was the view of Franklin VAN KAPPEN
Major-General (Dutch Army), Military Adviser to the UN that the IDF did knowingly and deliberatly target the UN base with over 40 HE shells, causing the deaths of over 100 civilians and a few UN personnel
