16. So if both lie, why do you believe one over the other?

If the Israelis were knowingly lying about the fate of Goldin, why would they now acknowledge that he died during the attack? The Israelis stated at the outset that there had been a suicide bomber in the tunnel. Hamas has never denied it. Rather, after first claiming that they had captured Goldin, they changed their story to say he must have been killed in a airstrike, which is ludicrous, unless you think the Israelis, encountering an unexpected fight in the tunnel were able in a matter of seconds, to call in a precision airstrike on their own soldiers' position.

But I'm sure you think that's entirely plausible.
