Those "rockets" in Israel's bombing video? Gas canisters.

[kevyn]

Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem is questioning Israel's widely-distributed video of "Hamas fighters loading rockets on a truck," which Israel subsequently bombed on Monday. B'Tselem claims it tracked down the truck, and the surviving men... and says they were loading welding equipment, and the "rockets" were actually gas canisters.

Al-Jazeera has aired a report:

I don't actually know who is telling the truth... but right now, I'm not very inclined to believe Israel's account of what happened.

There's a big difference between protecting ground/culture and duplicating past oppressors' beyond-vulgar behavior.

Also, they sure seem to love causing/receiving/being all mixed up in drama throughout the Middle East...
