Uhm, if the story is true, and you know that and refuse to believe it, you, sir, are a lunkhead.

If wishes were horses then beggars would ride, sir. As it is, there is actually indication that AP has retracted the story.

But if the story had been true, I would believe it precisely because it fits the circumstances. I put it to you that if you were a doctor and people had been sending ambulance carbombs to hospitals, you would desire--nay, demand--the thorough screening of such vehicles before they put you and your coworkers in mortal peril.

So I would be ready to believe the story, it's plausible, assuming good faith on the part of all the immediate participants. The secuity personnel just following orders, the orders cut to protect the hospital--and the lives of any who might be in critical need of hospital care. But you seem to expect me to impute ill faith to the Israelis. You probably expected me to believe that the children never lie when they have been brainwashed by unscrupulous prosecutors, too.
