Too true. Being an Al-Jazeera fan, I saw first accounts of it coming in from them, live, mobile phone footage taken by people not really understanding what was going on, showing mangled bodies on the backs of white pickup trucks, being taken of to places unknown. That footage was taken by Western press, and completely twisted. A body in particular was one of a substantially built, half clothed, but bearded individual (face down), with legs obviously mangled, was claimed by Western (Specifically German) press to be the body of a young western woman, I think of German nationality, who had been at the "Party" that was raided by hamas, and was since missing. Her distraught parents believed the Western press, and probably mentally wrote off all possibility in their minds she might be still alive, taken hostage.

I saw Indi.ca's story on the subject of the IDF being responsible for a lot of the claimed Israeli victims, remembering what I'd seen myself on Al Jazeera, and got an awful feeling of foreboding, that it would be awkward for the IDF and Western press if she turned out to be alive after all. No way did she have a beard, so no way was she the body seen on the truck.

Sure enough, she was found dead some months later, apparently shot through the head, by the IDF, who of course blamed Hamas, who had been holding her hostage.

Still it was never questioned by our media, who of course would have had to admit to making a tragic mistake.

But it never did stack up at all that she was ever on the back of that pickup truck as claimed.

This is the story by Indi that opened my eyes:
