Rose: the Granny issue is this. about 4 months ago she or he argued about the Captain R case here in Israel. If you recall, that was the Druse IDF officer who after shooting an unarmed 13 year old "Palestinian" school girl in the head, walked over and double tapped her, what we call a "confirmation shot" in order to ensure a target is dead.
Granny made an argument that the case was horrid and that the Captain was a murderer [the case WAs horrid but the Captain was NOT a murderer]. Then she talked of an Israeli news affairs show seeen on our Channel 2, called "UVDA." UVDA aired an alleged IDF tape of the incident that painted the Captain in a terrible way. Thing is, the tape was fabricated. It was made from doctored bits cut up out of context and UVDA was sued for libel.
Granny thought the case was ongoing ans that UVDA might be exnoerated at which point I informed her that it is an old story here. UVDA was found guilty and fined, for libel. She inisited on proof. that was point number one.
Then the conversation somehow meandered into poor Rachel Corrie. I reminded the thread on how ISM doctored photos of Ms. Corrie on the day of her death abd then supplied them to Reuters. Reuters published them only to find that they were fraudelent and pulled them and demanded an apology from ISM which it DID receive. Granny wanted proof of this. This was point number two.
There was a third point but at the minute I cannot recollect it.
At the time, despite Granny's expletive laden rants I agreed to provide the sources. Then I went on duty which I do for 12 day tours. I come back, she posps up before I even have a chance to say much and begins cursing and calling me a liar, etc. this went on a couple of tours until last tour when she showed a softer side. I then told her that since she/he was being so covil, I would provide it within 2 days [before it was going to be when I finished my service]. When I told her/him 2 days, he/she exploded again with a bunch od curses and I washed my hands of it.
This forum used to be half way interesting and now all I see is a bunch of smut and personality games.
As you see with your lucid posts, if soemone posts rationally, I am quite able to respond. Otherwise it is extremely difficult. Anyway, there is the U75 MYSTERY.
