I've Been Thinking:

Defaming Israel has become a Palestinian pastime.
Taking advantage of humanitarian gestures has become a Palestinian sport.

Examples of chemical explosives being smuggled into Gaza under the guise of food aide in flour and sugar bags are numerous.

Stories about Palestinians approaching border crossings under the guise of medical treatment and them turning themselves into human bombs are almost commonplace.

Here is a new twist.

In a story that spread like wildfire in news accounts around the world it was reported that a man Muhammad al Harrani, the father of 6 children, died of cancer waiting for his permit to enter Israel for his treatment. His entry interview was postponed because Israel was commemorating Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Turns out, Muhammad al Harrani is still alive.

No, it was not a miracle ... yes, it was a hoax.

Sadly, it was more important for the family of al Harrani to defame Israel than it was to get needed medical treatment for a sick and dying man.

Sadly, now al Harrani will probably be denied entry into Israel.
Inevitably, Israel will be blamed for denying medical treatment to a master media manipulator.

To what depths will people sink to defame Israel and call her the oppressor?
