Real news. With snark, invective, and lots of links. Guaranteed behaving badly.

But it sounds like he wasn’t kidnapped.

Anyone have a list of countries that don’t support Netanyahu’s renegade slaughter & lies?
Hmmm, here’s a start: UK, Australia, Germany, Brazil, China, Russia, India, Italy, Jordan, Turkey, Venezuela, Chile, Cuba….139 at least.
OH but Canada still loves him. Steve Harper a big fan.

The reporting suggests that the Israelis knew within minutes, certainly within an hour, that that 2Lt Goldin had not been kidnapped and had in fact been killed in the initial engagement. Hamas stated clearly that they did not have him and that they suspected he had been killed, they where called liars. Despite knowing that Goldin was dead and that Hamas where telling the truth the Israelis used his “kidnapping” as justification for launching further assaults that killed some 200 Palestinian civilians. One can suspect that if the Israelis knew the real situation then the US did as well. Clearly both governments are complicit in the crimes that where and are being committed.

Khaled Mashal, the Qatar-based political leader of Hamas, says, “we did not deceive the Israelis, we fight honorably”. Yeah, we believe you, you just keep on saying stuff like that all you want.
