Why is it that name calling, berating & grand leaps of faith are used when facts, reason & logic offer a POV that differs? To me, that is a clear sign that someone doesn't want to admit they might be wrong..... that they shot their mouth off without knowing the facts...... and they can't admit they might be wrong. "Your article was worded in a manner that would lead people to to believe the Israelies started the fire." No it was not worded in that manner at all. That's a clear fact! Like I said, you ASS-U-ME too much. BTW, the flares are fired into the night sky to light up the area. I also said it does the IDF no good to fire flares into a compound that, if set alight would bring the wrath of global opinion against Israel. Oh, there is 24/7 video coverage by the media of the church compound which would make it likely that any arson attempts by Israel to be caught on tape. Once again, the Palestinians have everything to lose since they are surrounded by a superior force who has no reason to instigate negative world opinion.......... It is the Palestinian terrorists inside who know they are destined to go to jail........ or die trying to escape........ "I simply stated......." You simply laid blame with Israel with little evidence to support your POV. Playing word games now changes nothing. Spin it any way you wish now. Your post stands as written. Hell, you even cited a portion of the article that clearly said, 'it was not clear what set it off'. Then it clearly said, 'Israeli soldiers lit up the sky with flares and threw stun grenades and smoke bombs'. How did you make the grand leap to assume Israel started the fire? You now claim to have read many other articles about this incident. I am sure you now know this is the second fire there since the stand off began. There has yet to be ANY evidence that the IDF started either fire......... even though there is 24/7 video covering the compound by multiple media sources.......... Gee, if it set from the inside, there would likely be no video evidence, right? Go ahead & continue to call me names, berate me & blindly stick to your faulty POV. All I did was disagree with you & gave reason, logic & facts to disagree with you. Ö¿Ö
