Evidence seems to be accumulating that the IDF wasn’t responsible. The timing is wrong, the injuries of those who survived aren’t consistent with the shell scenario and Hamas gunmen were cleaning up the evidence even before security people arrived.

But as Alex says, no one will care.

The IDF took quick responsibility for Al Dura, too. They really need to bag that hair trigger apology thing.

Naturally, if it turns out this was a Pali explosion it will make no dent at all in the world’s consciousness.

The lying movie “Jenin” is still playing and the fact that Mohammed al-Dura fell to a Palestinian bullet has pretty much escaped everyone.

LGF has the video and it is clearly staged… flashback to Al-Dura.

The MSMs are all spouting that for the Jews to dare to fire back at rockets that are targeting Jewish civilians will result in Hamas ending the truce and firing rockets at Jewish civilians.

Uh… huh… some truce.

Given that there was no ‘outrage’ at the recent anti-rocket barrage just days ago that injured “journalists” and “ambulance drivers” the attention given this fraud is all the more absurd.

Yet it is amusing that nobody cared that the “journalists” were injured.

After "Pallywood" and Jenin it is not unlikely that some Palestinian explosive went awry: Pallywood, examines the circumstances surrounding the shooting of the explosive footage about Muhamed al Durah and his father Jamal at Netzarim Junction, September 30, 2000.

I wonder how many of the Palestinian deaths, if someone actually bothered to investigate, have been caused by their own bullets since the intifada started in 2000. That happens, you know, when you undertake military operations from the midst of civilian populations.

The double standard is so disgusting. I watched CNN this morning and they kept showing the little Palistinian girl in shock, then CNN indicated that Hamas was now shooting rockets into Israel for revenge. CNN totally disregards the fact that Arabs shooting rockets into Israel started this exchange to begin with, and that Israel apoligizes when civilians are hurt, but arabs hand out candy when they kill Jews. I suppose this will now go the UN for an emergency session to stop Israeli “aggression.”

Thank goodness for John Bolton!
