It must have been a greedy Jewish contractor!

Why for heavens sake is everyone blaming the city?? What on earth is UNRWA doing putting the girls in such a faulty building....?

The Arabs have been blaming the Jews for all their problems for over 60 years, and blaming the "settlers" for any thing and everything possible, but this report just demonstrates how thoroughly brain-washed Arab 4th graders are already! By the way dear readers, Jerusalem was a Jewish majority city until the Jordanian soldiers massacred the Jewish residents in 1948 and drove the survivors out.

the Waqf is digging the heck out of temple mount in order to build a new mosque in Solomon's stables while destroying and discarding any traces of the Jews claims to the temple mount. The southern wall of temple mount has been undermined to the point of near and imminent collapse. oh and you got to love the Arabs order of priorities: "A commotion broke out in the area, with all of the school's workers and the students' family members standing outside the building and LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO BLAME. According to the crowd, the Jerusalem Municipality and Israeli government had neglected the place for years. That all arabs know... to blame and point fingers for their misfortunes. Who came to the rescue to do something constructive? JEWS, Magen David Adom (MDA) The Arabs have got to GROW UP and stop blaming everyone for their misfortunes and start taking responsibility for themselves.

Gosh durn it Ma!, cried Pa. Them Arabstoonians have had it now. Heh, heh. Shore am glad we took our tunneling gear with us on the covered wagon. Otherwise how could we dig under all them schools and hurt them little girls? Why the very next thing is to figger out how to burrow under those Ay-rab medical centers and collapse those floors of apartments of the lady sheep girlfriends of them Hamas fellas. Aint east crossing the great plains and digging under the floors at night. But settler logistics are so evil reality does not matter.

for Jews to be blamed.

long live Israel

the pyramids were built by the Israelites and they still stand today. The laborers in Israel today are other than the Israelits and the buildings are crumbling! I rest my case.

The school must have been built by UNWRA's Hamas employees. That looks like a weapons smuggling tummel to me. I guess UNWRA's Hamas employees must have siphoned off the money to buy weapons instead of using quality materials. What does Bun Kee Moon say about this?

"UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) girls' school in Jerusalem's Old City."

and the Old City of Jerusalem which is part of Occupied East Jerusalem Get the hell out of there!

because your mosque does not belong there. Who is responsible for the repairs? Who were the contractors? How did the wood rot? Fortunately no children were hurt. The timing however was very interesting and instructive.

The Waqf has been destroying relics from our Holy Temple. You are occupying Eretz Yisrael.

Mr. Palestinian, I do not know if you are a native Jew or an Arab colonist. If you are a Jew, It is not nice to ask the Arabs to leave Jerusalem. It is true that they occupy the Old City, but as long as they don't break the law, they may live peacefully. If you are an Arab colonist and you have complaints, please move back to your homeland in Lebanon, Syria or Iraq.

...ok...refugees from WHERE?? WEST JERUSALEM??? AREN'T THERE SCHOOLS IN E. JERUSALEM?? I KNOW there are because I see them and pass them and their teachers learn here in David Yellin teacher's college, and in Hebrew Univ...and if they are FOURTH GRADERS...WHERE ARE THEY REFUGEES FROM?? AND... isn't THIS why we 'tear down illegal structures, Arab AND Jewish? because they are poorly built and not to code?? settlers my foot!

Not enough done for the arab schools. Do these arbs schools do anything for Israel except hate complain and claim to be palestinian and not Israeli SO GO COMPLAIN TO THE PALESTINIANS.

Oops sorry it's one of he flying piggies. Under Useless Nations supervision this one built it with sticks!! Can't blame the big bad wolf for this one!

A school under the direct ownership and supervision of a UN agency (not the Jerusalem municipality) was built by a sloppy contractor who decided to cut corners to earn an extra buck - quite literally, even. A conspiracy theory blaming Jews was soon brought up. Further claims of Israeli discrimination soon followed. And with such racist rubbish, Arabs still dare claim that they're the ones who are on its receiving end?

strange that suddenly, when they can get money, the arab school in east jerusalem "is neglected by the israelis", rather than the responsibility of the palestinian anarchy. what ever happened to the "occupied palestine" thing, is it over? and is all sub-standard construction the fault of the "settlers"? or is that just the knee-jerk reaction of the palestinian instigators to anything bad that happens? jews rebuilding and living in the jewish quarter of the old city do not cause arab schools to collapse. unless, of course, it is god's will that the arabs who occupied jerusalem illegally, leave! even in arabic, jerusalem is "al quds al yahoud" (the holy place of the jews).

when I read this I just had to laugh- what are they looking for? mushrooms? What a ludicrous story. Blame it on shoddy workman ship, corrupt contractors- settlers? Give me a break!

very possible that terror organization using itand dig it , to hide ammunition ... i'm waiting to the first quassam in Jersualem, its weeks weeks away and think about it!

...own name!!!
