When anything happens to any muslim in the Middle East, it is always Israel behind it somewhere, according to the media.
Does anyone ever stop to think that the pro-muslim Israelis planted this story in an attempt to bring down Bibi's government? Does everyone think that the way things work in Israel is straight forward just like in the US?
The plots, deals, pacts, plans made in the Middle East for the last two thousand years make the backroom deals made in Congress look like kids playing checkers.
Remember the famous incident were the IDF was blamed for shooting a kid during one of the Palestinian offensives? Later the Palestinians involved admitted the kid had been deliberately killed by them to make it look bad for the IDF and bring world condemnation down on Israel.
Why should this incident be above suspicion? Especially given the sloppy trade craft.
I presume you mean the kid back in 2000 with his father? Do you have a reliable source for this claim regarding Palestinians declaring responsibility. I find it very hard to believe.
