It just annoys me how people suck up Hamas's lies
no one expects anyone to make up numbers of civilian deaths, or to lie about as to how they came about, so when someone does lie about such matters no one wishes to accept that it could possibly be a lie; they think it's beyond belief.
Hitler said people will sooner believe the large lies than the small ones, it's what allows so many oppressive organisations to act the way they do.

Hehe
I didn't refer to people as Hitler, I merely paraphrased the great man.
I'll give you half a godwin point.

Of course, Israel could let some journalists in to see what was going on
if they were doing the right thing I bet that's what they would do.

'til one of the journalists
whose job it is to find stuff going "BOOM!" gets hurt in the BOOM! and everyone gets uppety about it.
Also, if they ask the man on the street "What do you think about..." all too often that man on the street isn't exactly independant. This was seen in Lebanon with Hezbollah who controlled quite rigorously what was and what was not to be filmed and said.
