Get a load of this headline:
Army says Gaza militants fire 9 rockets at Israel
It’s not like the rockets were actually fired… no, the army just says so.
Israel’s army says Gaza militants have fired nine rockets at Israel.
Wednesday’s rocket fire came just two days before militants say a truce along the Gaza border is to expire. The rockets were fired by three small militant groups and caused no injuries, the army said.
Does anyone ever remember a headline by the AP that says “Hamas says Israel killed two militants”?
This is one of the subtle ways of discrediting Israel. The rockets weren’t just fired. The Israeli army (which always speaks in the collective, as opposed to “Palestinian spokesman/medic said”) says the rockets were fired. And we all know how Israel lies, right?
