#1 The killing and Dire Revengeâ¢ cycle has served up a steady stream of stories like this. I find most of the factual bits could be from any day since September, 2001, when the current lunacy known as the "intefada" began anew.

What's so damned telling, IMHO, is the insistence of the press on pretending there is a truce or cease fire - and that it has been in effect for 6 weeks. This story could have come from almost any day of the last 6 weeks - and it would be just like any other day. Endanger the truce? What truce?

On a side note, it's plain that Rabbo's 'net connection is down - or Zahar strayed from the script.

And, the final bit of irony comes in the closer: the clear implication that it is Israel who is endangering the imaginary truce because it apparently received intelligence of a bomb-making lab and didn't just ignore it - and let them make bombs. Who would have? The "reporter" doesn't say - or even address the bomb lab aspect... I guess that wasn't on the edtorial agenda. Big surprise. The press at its best: mind-bogglingly pro-Pal / pro-Terrorist.

#2 I have a solution into the "pro-Paleo" attitude of reporters. The next one that shoots off his/her mouth is grabbed by Israel, manacled, and forced to sit in an Israely hospital emergency room, taking down vital information about those being brought in - for three months. After that, if they still shoot off their mouth, pull their visa. They have no credibility, and can't think but in pro-paleo terms. If they come back after their visa's been pulled, whack and stack 'em.
