Tel-Chai Nation

When the army was responding to mortar attacks by the Hamas a few days ago, they allegedly hit some civilians on the beach. But it looks like another Pallywood hoax was just conducted. History News Network (via Israel Matzav) provides some details of what seems to be yet another attempt to market a deception.

The IDF says that the PLO is not cooperating, and that the terrorists themselves may have caused the blast. I wouldn't be surprised if the "victims" were still alive too!

The Israel News Agency (via Gates of Vienna) says that it was a stockpile of Hamas explosives that may have killed the people on the beach. However, I see that Ehud Olmert has reacted very poorly on this:

Israel Maj.-Gen. Yoav Galant said today that the Israel Defense Forces has additional evidence that it wasn’t Israel artillery that hit the beach in Gaza. Galant, who commands Israel’s southern command, said Israel stopped firing 15 minutes before the explosion. It’s all on secure videotape from both sides of the conflict. Israel Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said he was sorry about the deaths, which included three children.

Um, why should he be sorry? Isn't it the Islamofascists themselves who should?

There also seems to be propaganda here from a colonel who favors the lie first conceived by the British diplomat Christopher Mayhew:

The Israel Colonel who confirmed that a Hamas explosives stockpile killed innocent Palestine children on a Gaza beach, added: “It should be noted that the Hamas rockets which killed those kids came from Iran. For many in Palestine, Iran and Syria, those children are now merely good “martyrs” and serve as blood food for the Islam terror propaganda machine.”

As usual, I have to remind that "palestine" was a name given to Israel by the Romans for political purposes. The Israel News Agency, I hate to say, seems to be a bad news source. At least from what I can tell here.
