Missing evidence and missing pieces of time.

Friday 9 June – A shell, or something explodes on the beach in Gaza.

The Arabs removed all evidence of shrapnel that could prove whose shell was to blame:

Seven Arab Muslim Palestinians were killed. One dramatic picture on the cover of the NYT, page 3 of the Chicago Trib, etc. showed a beautiful young girl screaming in agony over the death of her father lying next to her. This is the lasting image and the entire story to be told. By Monday the NYT headline is: "Errant Shell Turns Girl Into Palestinian Icon".

One commentator wondered how the camera got there so fast or was the scene re-enacted?
I don’t wonder how. I don’t even wonder why. I wonder why so few are so skeptical of it.

The Arabs removed all the wounded and dead with the shrapnel in them also removed to eliminate any evidence. They refused to have the bodies examined for forensic evidence of what actually killed the seven. Two are being treated in Israeli hospitals.

Saturday 10 June - Regardless of what the Israeli Defense Forces had to say, the “world” Press would have none of it. Radar? Timestamped data? Ten minutes between the end of the shelling and the explosion? No matter. They pile it on because they think it SHOULD be true. Fake, but accurate?
The third observation casting doubt on the possibility that IDF shelling was the cause of the Palestinian deaths was that the IDF had accounted for five of the six shells that it fired in the area before the explosion and the shell that was unaccounted for was fired more than 10 minutes before the blast that killed the Palestinians.
Knowing that a mercenary investigator from Human Rights Watch can only report on what he can honestly see, the scene of the explosion on the beach in Gaza was cleaned up before his arrival. They show him a hole in the ground, and he has to dance with the one who brung ‘im.

Monday 12 June – The report in favor of Hamas’ interpretation of events is released by HRW Flunky enters the area. The analyst, Marc Garalsco, is the senior military analyst for Janes’ Defence fierce competator, Mother Jones Magazine.
No one is publishing when Garalsco entered the area of the investigation, but the brevity of his comment is that it most occurred late in the day on the 10th or on the 11th. The Fact that Friday and Saturday are the weekend there limits the removal of shrapnel to anytime between the event itself and Friday afternoon, since onlookers are more likely to be out and about after sunset on Friday.


Regardless, this will never penetrate the thickest of heads. Le Monde today referred to them thus:
« la mort de sept Palestiniens, vendredi 9 juin, sur une plage du nord de la bande de Gaza est due non pas à un bombardement israélien mais à l'explosion d'une mine posée par des activists, a affirmé un haut responsable militaire qui a requis l'anonymat. »
They aren’t activists, they’re bombers trying to make news for themselves by killing people.
They are activists in the same way Carlos the Jackal was.

13 June – “World” Press starts publishing the fact that there is some skepticism. Too late – the feeding frenzy is over.
