It's not "bullshit" - the three kids were indeed kidnapped, and they were indeed murdered. That's no fiction.

However, Netanyahu's claims that it was hamas, was indeed bullshit - as many of us called, very quickly (He vowed to release proof "soon," several times... yeah, we all know how to parse that). What's worse, is that apparently Israeli intelligence knew that the three young men were dead very quickly - but the Netanyahu government kept up the pretense of a search and manhunt, targeting Hamas and other political figures in the west bank, brutalizing men, women, and children, and inciting israelis to new heights of rage and paranoia.

Incitement that led three psychopaths to kidnap, torture, and incinerate a palestinian kid.

These three young men were exploited and abused by the war machine in israel. Their deaths are not fiction, they're a horrid reality - but the story the Israeli government wove around them, that's lartgely false, yes.

Think of Pat Tillman or Jessica Lynch and how they were used as propaganda tokens. Except Bush never used Lynch's situation to call for Arab blood, the way Netanyahu did.
