Yesterday I saw a news feed on Facebook, and it came with a very interesting claim. They asserted that the mainstream corporate news would NOT cover this, for the sole reason that Itamar Sapir was killed. Because of that, they can't deny the truth, so they're going to bury the truth as best they can.

The assertion was that, if Itamar Sapir had NOT been killed, if there hadn't been any dead Jew - er, IDF personnel - then the mainstream corporate media would have howled about Israel targeting a church and then claiming (emphasis on "claim," creating the not-so-subtle insinuation that Israel was lying "like they always do!") that there were terrorists inside to justify their actions.

FYI, Hamas and Hezbollah's usage of places of worship for military purposes, and deliberate attempts to make such places of worship into the subject of reprisals, is a violation of Article 53 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. (I believe this is when someone claims that Hamas and Hezbollah are not signatories of the Accords, as if that matters. The "Sovereign Citizen" defense is not a valid defense)
