`Obviously the Israelis have a much, much better track record of telling the truth.`

No. You just choose to believe everything your government tells you.Israel has lied about every act of aggression it has ever carried out. Whether at Qana, or about Unit 101, or about invasion of Lebanon in 82 or about killing of Count Bernadette or about plans for sending death squads to Britain involving one of your PM`s or about shooting of reporters-first deny then see if evidence is produced, or about killing of peace activists, or about bombs planted in Egypt by Israeli intelligence in order to blame the Egyptians for attacking the Brits.Should I go on Mr Gullible? As for Dr Y. I see the source is Camera.Org.

Jerusalem-based journalist Gershom Gorenberg wrote " It is not the press`s job to provide PR for any government. Until CAMERA gets this straight, self-respecting journalists will regard an occasional snarl from the watchdog as proof that they`re doing their job."

"CAMERA is ready to exempt itself from the demands for accuracy that it aims at the media. And like others engaged in the narrative wars, it does not understand the difference between advocacy and accuracy."

Writing in The Nation in 1987, journalist Robert I. Friedman described CAMERA as having been formed in the wake of Israel`s 1982 invasion "to keep the U.S. press in line," noting that the organization`s activities at the time included publishing a newsletter and placing advertisements in The Christian Science Monitor and The New Republic in support of Israel`s West Bank settlement policies.

OK? So you think you get the truth from Camera!! Anything from Camera is worthless. Find a more neutral source or more widely regarded one.
