Here is where we stand. A credible charge, with evidence, has been put on the table. You (and nobody else) has provided *any* evidence to indicate the charges are wrong. I don't know wheter the story is true or false but the refusal (or inability?) to answer the charges (no counter charges have been made) is revealing.

with evidence

Again, you parrot: What evidence???

If you honestly do not understand the word "evidence", please go wear a dunce-hat and stand in the corner for the rest of the day.

Oh, c'mon. Do you have a problem with simple English? You just admitted (yet again) that you "don't know wheter [sic] the story is true or false." Yet you rely on the statement that this story is allegedly "credible." But where's the actual link to this story? Did you write this story? Where can I go and see this exact same story in its entirety?

So, "where we stand" (although I'm not standing with you) is with an uncorroborated story submitted by you without the benefit of a link. I'm not a reporter, okay? The onus is not on me, it's on YOU since you obviously submitted and believe the story. It would have been different if you would have said in your initial commentary after the story, "This is something to ponder." Did you do that? No! You said, "I think this speaks for itself."

I'm not going to do your work for you. If you can back this up with other sources, please do so. You submitted the story (from whence it comes I have no idea) and gave off the glaringly obvious impression that it is indeed true without question (all the while admitting that you DON'T know if it is true or not). So, like I said earlier, we're at an impasse (and you don't get to set the rules, at least not for me).

Game recognizes game. Let that marinate for a minute. It'll sink in.

Same thing happened when the Israeli "art student" possible spy story broke. No one could know one way or the other what the facts were. It was reported by Fox News, Jane's Intelligence Review, NBC, Insight Magazine, Ha'artez and the Jewish paper, the Forward. There was something to it.

Despite all that, a horde of posters descended upon the first post and all other posts calling the story an "urban myth" claiming it had been "debunked" and smearing freepers as Nazis, antisemities and crazies for even questioning what happened.

We see the same tactic on every thread which casts the slightest bad light on Israel. And it is always the same cast of characters who do the mud slinging.
