Mossad and Co. are very good at propaganda. Bock you should , in my opinion have slapped them and their supporters down a long time ago. The site is far from “obscure” you post to the World and they know that . The reason they chose to post in various names is because you allow discussion. Other sites do or perhaps can not.

It's not actually my practice to post comments, but I thought I would say that this was outstanding.

Both newspaper reports are based on Israeli military statements.

- Did you murder the driver?

- Oh God no!

- Right. Thanks.

I'm a bit disappointed at the standard of Israeli spin reaching this site. Obviously they don't take Bock very seriously, and it's hard to blame them really. After all, this is only an obscure Irish rant, but I'd prefer if they'd ignore me completely instead of putting their Youth Wing on the job. It's tedious.

Maybe they're trying to grind me down through boredom.

Those articles are very vague. They assert it was not the IDF who attacked the convoy but base this on IDF staements.
Palestine was a real democracy too, but Israel, Europe and the US refused to accept their democratic choice, distasteful as it was.
The press of the entire world is in the region, yet you take the Israeli press to be the only objective on. Strange..

Thesystemworks —

No problem. I'll make you an offer.

If Israel didn't attack the convoy, I'll apologise for misreporting, on condition that Israel apologises for murdering 900 people.

That seems fair, doesn't it?

However, before we do any of that, I'd ask you to provide an independent source for your information. Not the Israeli military.

That seems fair too, doesn't it?

On Friday, the Jerusalem Post reported that contrary to foreign press reports, it was not certain that an IDF tank shell hit the aid truck, and that in all probability, the aid workers were hit by Hamas gunfire.

The foreign press reports were based on UN sources, who later admitted to the Post that they were not sure in which direction the truck was headed when it was hit, and could also not say with certainty that tank shells were responsible:

Haaretz carried the story as well.

As Israel happens to be the only real democracy in the region with a fully free press, I tend to trust the papers.

the systemworks; why in oct 2008 did Ehud Barak request from his cabinet that it "was now time to start disrupting the electricity supply to Gaza"
just a bit curious, given this was during the ceasefire ?

Oh, by the way, UN sources are now claiming they do not know exactly which way the truck was heading at the time, and whether it was tank shells or Hamas that did the damage, despite all the news reports instantly blaming Israel.
I wonder will there be an apology for this one? Maybe buried on page 21 of Wednesday's Guardian supplement? I certainly don't expect it from anyone here.

Not only that, but it was also Hamas who stopped the replacement parts for the Gaza power station at the Israeli port of Ashdod.

And it was Hamas who ordered Israeli customs not to let the parts leave the port.

And it was Hamas who prevented diesel supplies for the power station from getting through to Gaza.

Not only that, but it was Hamas who originally kicked the people out of their homes and forced them to live in the Gaza slum.

What a crowd of bastards Hamas are.

Oh wait …
