How do we know that it was Israeli naval shelling? ...because the reporters think so. Who releases the facts? ...the NY media - and NBC. I read an AP / Yahoo story a few days ago that ran about 20 paragraphs... the last half on a link to 'page two'; It was the last two paragraphs that mentioned Hamas rockets launched at Israel... the whole first bulk of the story was about poor Palestinians and their wives and children running in terror from Israeli shelling. Did they present the whole story? Yes, but they know many will never proceed to the end of page two.
Do I really need to say more? One needs to read these reports with a jaundiced eye.
Your analysis goes right along with the tale of the Palestinian-American teenager just returned to Tampa along with his allegations he was severely beaten by Israeli police.
Suspicions are he was really injured while or after participating in an anti-Israel riot while visiting over there. Israeli authorities are investigating.
I fervently hope time will tell whether this kid's injuries and the Pally teens' deaths on the beach are as alleged, or, as I posit, are part and parcel of crafty disinformation tactics by the Palestinians (ably aided and assisted by U.S. mediawhores).
