    Why report it? Can't blame Israel for this one

    Although Mitchell obviously tried his hardest.

    The thought of some idiot reporter dodging bullets between groups of violent Islamic thugs and still trying to find some way to pin it on Israel would be laughable if he wasn't actually getting his nonsense published.

    "Never mind Hamas and their call for the destruction of Israel...", indeed. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. It's all Israel's fault. It's always Israel's fault.

    Have fun in the camps, Mitchell. Keep fighting the good fight alongside those Islamic militants and their famous hospitality.
