Actually you are taking the claim of Peter Hansen and calling it your own.
And again, Israel is presenting its evidence and asking for Hansen's dismissal.
Here is another quote from the man that he made to YOUR news service:

UNRWA chief Peter Hansen 'sure' Hamas members on payroll
By Haaretz Service
The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) Peter Hansen on Monday told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that he was sure members of the militant Hamas organization were on the payroll in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, but that he did not "see that as a crime."
UNRWA distributes aid to the Palestinians in the territories and has frequently been accused by Israel of turning a blind eye to terrorist activity.
"Oh I am sure that there are Hamas members on the UNRWA payroll and I don't see that as a crime," the CBC web site quoted Hansen as saying.
In the past the UN has been extremely biased against Israel and Israel has presented, over and over, evidence of ambulances being used to transport weapons and murderers. I even did a google search and found this:

Oh I'm sorry... I presented an opinion that hey I came to myself as well. But from watching the specific video... on many sites including the IDF website I find it hard to believe that they could have concluded that this was indeed a Kassam rocket being loaded into the UN vehicle... physically it just doesn't work - the known base characteristics for the weapons don't gel with the motion of the individual nor nor do they conform to the object that he loads into the back of the vehicle.
Now playing devils advocate it is also concievable that a Kassam 1 could be concealed within a folded up stretcher... but the militants switched from using it nearly 3 years ago with the developement of the Kassam 2 and 3... because quite frankly it range and payload make it a very ineffective indirect fire weapon. So yes the remote possiblity exists that there could have been a concealed Kassam 1 involved.. again you wouldn't be able to see it in any video footage as the stretcher would totally conceal the object; so why would the IDF claim that the footage showed a Kassam missile being loaded into the UN vehicle? The images and the story just don't add up right now.
