Terrorists Israel

If you think about it, this could be seen as humanitarian aid to to poor sucker who would have been talked it to strapping the explosives around his body and entering a Israeli market or bus stop.

"Terror groups take advantage of Israeli permit allowing humanitarian goods into impoverished Gaza Strip, attempt to smuggle two tons of fertilizer in truck transporting aid in second such incident this week"

The only place I can find this story are Israeli websites where the coverage appears to be pro-Israeli. It doesn't mean that it's not at all true, but it does make me question exactly how accurate it is.

So...

If Israel has reporters who cover stuff like this, and they don't couch it in a pro terrorist point of view it is not valid? Is that your point? C.

One of the great non sequiturs of the left is that, if the free market doesn't work perfectly, then it doesn't work at all-- and the government should step in.

When I can only find a story like this covered by one news source and repeated by another, I question the validity of it. Especially when all of the other content from those news sources shows a strong bias in one direction. It's got nothing to do with me loving terrorists or hating America. I do those things in other ways.
