The Red Cross Ambulance Incident
The Red Cross Ambulance Incident
On the night of July 23, 2006, an Israeli aircraft intentionally fired missiles at and struck two Lebanese Red Cross ambulances performing rescue operations, causing huge explosions that injured everyone inside the vehicles. Or so says the global media, including Time magazine, the BBC, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and thousands of other outlets around the world. If true, the incident would have been an egregious and indefensible violation of the Geneva Convention, and would constitute a war crime committed by the state of Israel.But there’s one problem: It never happened.
Some very interesting blog analysis of this news story.

Pretty amazing how in the 21st century anti-Semitism still runs rampant. I was not at all surprised the incident was wishful thinking by the geniuses in the worldwide press.
