The Truth, though Battered, Still Stands

"In the smoke of war, it is so easy to assume that lies are true, deliberate fabrications accidental. As is often the case, the world demanded Israel answer for the claims made by Hamas and so-called Palestinian human rights organizations. How could Israel answer claims when it was in the middle of fighting a war...and other than soldiers in the field, didn't have easy access to the very evidence that would prove Israel innocent?

As expected, as the war ends and the smoke clears, the so-called facts are proved to be lies, the fabrications proved to be exaggerations (at best) and outright falsehoods in even more cases. An amazing organization that watches the media and human rights organizations and calls them on these errors, is CAMERA. CAMERA examined the claims made of huge numbers of civilian casualties and found outright fabrications, missing information, inaccurate numbers - in short, all that is claimed is now suspect given the huge campaign by organizations that were so busy attempting to sway world opinion, they left the truth far behind. As CAMERA shows, the truth, though battered from lies and twisted numbers, still stands."
