No she didn't.

Palestinians never lie, do they?

I read the full story in Haaretz, the Leftist rag.

The senior state attorney said the Palestinian woman was asked what she carried in a bottle and when she said "water," the soldier allegedly ordered her to "drink the water" and the Palestinian woman refused.

When the Palestinian woman eventually was forced to drink the liquid, which was a chemical and not water, some sprayed in her eyes and she became blind."

Palestinians never lie. The woman said it was water.

Why the question?

Oded Saborai, the soldier's defense attorney, yesterday argued that his client's response was "within her authority and part of her responsibility in view of specific warnings at that time suggesting that terrorist organizations intended to bring poisons into Israel to use in mass attacks." Saborai says that the soldier's version of the incident is corroborated by another soldier at the scene.

Wonder why MSNBC left out the relevant details?

My defense strategy would be that the Palestinian woman told the truth when she said it was water, Palestinian never never lie, and ALLAH turned it into something else, for reasons only ALLAH knows.

she became blind

permanently or temporarily?

Good detective work!

It's the other faces to the Pali/Israeli conflict like this that, ever more, make me believe the Pali's simply aren't worth any effort and or care.

What amazes me is that so many media outlets refuse to publish the other sides like this....if the whole world could just see that the Palis aren't the "oppressed, downtrodden peoples" that most of the media (seems to) want us believe, and simply the murderous agressors they most likely ARE, then this "peace process" would move much more quickly (i.e., mushroom clouds).

The Palis and their mouthpieces in the media are changing tactics.
