Muddled reporting from the Gaza

Wherin it becomes clear the UN brass does not know it's ass from a hole in the ground.

Who killed the Palestinian driver of an aid truck and wounded two others as their convoy made its way into the Gaza Strip through the Erez crossing during Thursday's "humanitarian cease-fire?"

According to the foreign media, who based their information on UN sources, IDF tank shells blasted the truck. According to the Magen David Adom medic who claimed to have taken the Palestinians to an Israeli hospital, the truck actually came under Hamas sniper fire.

What is certain is that there is one dead Palestinian, and two others being treated at Ashkelon's Barzilai Medical Center for gunshot wounds.

UN officials in New York placed the blame squarely on Israel ...

Whoa - this one is a poser.

Tanks rounds - I know this is a shocker - blow shit up. That's what they are for.

Rifle bullets tear people up.

It is safe to assume that if you've got one dead guy and two wounded guys with bullet holes in them that what got them was not big frickin' shell from a tank but a yahoo with a rifle.

'Cuz a 120mm shell had hit them they wouldn't a) have bullet holes in them and b) there wouldn't have been enough of any of them left to carry to the hospital.
