If you consider US reporting pro-Israel, I would hate to see what you consider
anti-Israel.

Her statement was very clear. Regardless of set up or not, the statement
stands by itself. There is no entrapment there.

There are many situations that can result in a downward shot. Nothing to see

Who ever claimed that the paintball guns were used to kill anyone? No one
denied that the Israeli soldiers carried sidearms with them. After being
attacked, I find it reasonable to switch from non-lethal to lethal force. That
is what one does when threatened.

Nothing was buried but the truth how that ship was different from the others
and how it was sent for exactly the purpose it achieved.
