Is She Still Alive?

Israeli's wantonly murder Palestinian children according to this UN rep and bad actress:

British actress Vanessa Redgrave, a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), visited the Palestinian territories last week and appealed to Israel to ease the security restrictions in the Gaza Strip to enable quicker UN food distribution. A veteran human rights activist, Redgrave also charged that Israeli soldiers practice the wanton killing of Palestinian children.

At a press conference in Jerusalem, Redgrave said that UNRWA, the UN agency responsible for helping Palestinian refugees, has so far received only $62 million out of the $209 million it needs to provide such services as food aid, housing, employment assistance and trauma counseling for the rest of the year.

UNRWA has delayed its latest round of food distribution in Gaza by three weeks because of the restrictions. Some 250 containers of food reportedly remain stuck at the Ashdod port, with another 800 containers due to arrive by the end of August.

While visiting Ramallah, Redgrave called Israel's construction of the security barrier a "fatal policy." Known for her pro-Palestinian stance, Redgrave said the barrier "impedes communications between the Palestinian and Israeli people."

The barrier "impedes communication"? The only thing it impedes is Hamas terrorists murdering innocent Israeli children. It gets worse of course:

But mostly unreported by the media was Redgrave's harsh condemnation of IDF policies.

No mother could possibly be accustomed to the fact that her little girl will go to school ''and will sit with her classmates and an Israeli sniper will shoot at a classroom full of Palestinian children who are in their uniforms with their little scarves,'' she said in Jerusalem.

''Any Palestinian mother or schoolchild knows that a schoolchild who is dressed in the uniform can be and is frequently shot in the head -- not in the chest, not in the legs, in the head," she said, according to Jay Bushinsky, who attended the Jerusalem press conference.

According to Bushinsky, Redgrave based her horrendous allegation on one of four documentary films produced by UNRWA and screened last month at the world organization's alternate headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, where a conference was held on life in the Palestinian refugee camps.

But a query put to UNRWA's spokesperson in the Gaza Strip, Paul McCann, suggested that Redgrave either was dissembling or simply misunderstood.

McCann said that one of the productions, Huda's Story, related the story of a Palestinian schoolgirl who was shot in the head in Khan Yunis. McCann pointed out ''it was a ricochet,'' implying that the gunfire was not aimed directly at her head, as Redgrave had implied.

Imagine that. A leftist who is critical of Israel getting her information from a documentary that plays fast and loose with the facts.
