'Palestinians' trying to expel UNRWA from Gaza

On Friday afternoon, just before the Sabbath started here in Israel, the 'Palestinians' attacked UNRWA director John Ging in Gaza:

Palestinian gunmen have fired on a vehicle transporting a UN aid official in the northern Gaza Strip.

John Ging, director of the UN Relief and Works Agency in Gaza, was returning from the Erez border crossing with Israel when the attack occurred. Mr Ging said gunmen fired multiple shots into the armoured vehicle. They also tried to force the door. ...

Mr Ging said that the gunmen jumped out of a white Subaru and opened fire. “They tried to force open the car, but our driver extracted himself from that situation” and sped away, he said. “This is a shocking development. We are still considering how to deal with this.” [How about giving them a state? —ed.]

He said the vehicle, which was struck by 11 bullets, was clearly marked with UN insignia. UNRWA provides relief services to more than 4.3 million registered Palestinian refugees in the Middle East.

According to Middle East Newsline, this wasn't just another 'Palestinian' terror attack:
PA officials acknowledge that Islamist fighters have launched a campaign to expel or seize control of the UN Relief and Works Agency in the Gaza Strip. The officials said the gunmen, believed linked to several militias, have driven out nearly all foreign staffers of UNRWA as they seek to control operations in refugee camps in the PA.

"The huge majority of foreign UN personnel are no longer in Gaza," an official said. "The idea is to intimidate or expel the rest of them and gain access to hundreds of millions of dollars in funding and supplies for the refugee camps."
I know. Let's give them a state reichlet.

Yup. There is no group better at biting the hand that feeds them than the palestinians.

It is not a matter of biting the hand.

It is about only the supporters of those controlling the food eating.

Food as a weapon of war.

But they are only hurting themselves. Those controlling the food are using it to manipulate the masses below; however, those masses, raised on malnutrition, will not grow up to be intelligent, effective, capable people.

No matter you look at this, palestinian terrorists' policies are always self-destructive.
