Check out the crap the Euros are having stuffed down their throats;
*Agence France-Presse, under the headline ‘Palestinian schoolgirl shot dead by Israeli troops in Gaza’
*The Independent based its story on a UN official who directly accused the IDF of firing on Deab, then passed off IDF spokespersons who denied culpability as ‘plainly embarrassed.’
*Knight Ridder-Tribune quoted both Ahmed Qurei decrying the shooting as an IDF ‘war crime,’ and a UN official condemning ‘the Israeli military’s indiscriminate firing into civilian areas.’
It sounds horrible doesn�t it? I mean, the little girl being shot is most definitely horrible, but, I mean it sounds bad for the IDF, right?
That is the way the reporters want you to feel.
Here is what actually happened;
On Monday (1/31), 10-year-old Nuran Deab was struck by a bullet in southern Gaza and died shortly thereafter. The IDF immediately suggested the gunshots may have come from nearby Palestinians firing celebratory shots in the air. Further, Reuters stated that ‘it did not appear that Israeli soldiers some 600 meters away could have seen into the [school] compound from their position behind high walls.’ … This lopsided version of events appears all the more ludicrous given the Jerusalem Post’s report that PA police have now arrested a Palestinian man for the shooting.
But the reporters have to play the child�s death up so that they can sell copy to their potential Eurabian readers.
That is truly sick.
