  1. Marcel: You are an utter moron. I didn’t “censor” you. Did you ever stop to think that this blog might have an anti-spam filter that automatically throws all comments coming fr. IP addresses which have never published a comment here before into moderation??? You published this comment fr. an IP address you never used previously. So it threw you into moderation. It has nothing to do with you & everything to do w. yr IP address. Really, you’re such a twit.

    No, you didn’t make any “abusive” or “profane” remarks (until the delightful epithet in your last one) & so I didn’t blacklist you. It took me all of 3 1/2 hrs. to remove yr comment fr. moderation & publish it. If you’d only had a tad more patience before going ballistic, you might’ve not come across as the blithering idiot you did in yr last comment.

    But I do think “fuck you” earns you the banning you suspected you’d earn previously.

    And btw, the reason I moderate all comments fr. first time IP addresses is because there is a huge pool of hateful ultra-Israel folk (& some Arab ultra-nationalists as well) out there who like to beat up on this blog. By invoking moderation, I can prevent some of the worst & most foul fr. getting published.

    UPDATE: It actually appears that the IP address you used is NOT different than one you used previously. All I can say is that an anti-spam filter is a complex piece of coding & it sometimes has false positives. It makes a mistake & appears to have made on here. I don’t know why it threw that comment into moderation, but it did.

    Her death is tragic.
    But the two photos were not taken moments apart.
    They were presented as before and after, suggesting she was standing in plain sight of the driver immediately before being run over.
    They are not the same bulldozer or the same location.
    Yes both photos were taken the same day in Rafah, but hours apart.

    Was she deliberately killed? Perhaps. But the ISM presenting these photos in the misleading way they did questions the credibility of their claim of events and hurts their cause.
