The government selling stuff stolen by the government to private buyers: The Free Market at its best.
McAnswer, can't you recognize a propaganda piece when you see one?
This same article was printed in several other sources. None of these articles bothered to give the Israeli side. That alone should be a dead giveaway that this is a hit piece and not a news article. Most real news articles will at least say they tried to contact the other side for their comments.
I finally found one that did:
"Israel argues that the schools had been constructed in Area C without obtaining a prior permission from the so-called Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), a unit in Israel’s ministry of military affairs that oversees civil matters in the Palestinian territories."
Now who made the donation in the first place? The European Union, which is a government.
Did you ever hear of a government agency or bureaucracy who didn't follow the rules, fill out all the required forms, and get permission from the agency in charge?
Government bureaucrats live by the rules.
All of a sudden we have an EU bureaucracy that sends a whole school without getting proper permission first. Not very likely.
Most likely, this was done deliberately just to create an incident and get a few anti-Israeli articles in a few papers.
Did you notice that outside of a couple of British papers and Arab press, no other media source picked this story up.
