Will the Press Finally Find a Scandal They Can Pin On Israel?

At the risk of being dull in our repetition, the IDF doesn't intentionally target media vehicle. They don't intentionally target UN infrastructure (unless you count roads built for Hezbollah by the UN). They don't intentionally target Red Cross ambulances. For some reason - assiduous neutrality - the press seems to be searching for an anti-Israel story to run (the last seven or eight really good scandals all turned out to be hoaxes). So last night, they announced that a clearly marked Reuters van had been hit by an Israeli missile. Except this morning it turns out that there's no way a missile hit that van and that there were no clear markings - because, among other things, the van was in a combat zone... at night!
