Well said. This is the essence of propoganda and a vital part of exploitive political systems. Still, noone has explained to me yet: How did the Israeli's get the information that led them into forcing the plane to land? Was the whole thing a mistake? Was it a trap set by a foreign intelligence agency? Or is there something going on that the public story is covering up? Other suggestions? These are the interesting questions, I think. Noone who can think should be surprised that such an incident can take place during wartime, or act like some moral outrage has taken place. (OK, bring on the flames ...)
