Government Condoned Terrorist Attack?
For those of you who are unaware MEE is a London based organization that concentrates on the Middle East. Enemies say that it is a propaganda tool. Supporters say that it is honest hard-hitting news.
I say, MEE's conclusions are usually tilted toward the Arab side but the tilt is not more pronounced than say the BBC or DW. It just leans in a different direction. I also say that after 8 months of following MEE I have yet to find factual errors in their news.
This being the case if they report that Israeli settlers set this aid truck on fire I'm going to believe them.
For the doubters, here is the same story as Haaretz, the longest running Israeli newspaper, reported it:
"Settlers Attack Palestinian Trucker They Thought Was Delivering Aid to Gaza, and Soldiers Who Came to Treat Him
In the latest violent protest by settlers against the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza, a truck was forced to stop near the settlement of Kochav Hashahar, and torched, leaving the driver moderately wounded, and three IDF soldiers who came to assist him lightly injured. No arrests were made"
This sure sems like a government condoned terrorist attack to me. You make up your own mind.
Freedom and Security for all! |
