Title: Passenger's Eye-Witness Account of Massacre

Rings true because he admits that there was resistance, albeit with improvised weapons.  (The metal rods were railing parts.)  Also admits that some Israeli soldiers were captured and beaten at one point.  (As MJ Blumenthal points out in his article, Israeli complaints about their soldiers being beaten are akin to a car-jacker complaining that the motorist beat him with a tire-iron kept under the driver's seat in the course of the car-jacking.)  If the guy was making propaganda, why mention the soldier being captured and beaten?  Unlike the Israeli story (which has already been found using fake photos!) this account has the ring of truth to it.

<<terrorists should die>>

Sounds kinda severe.  That'd take a huge toll of the IDF personnel and would probably cut deeply into U.S. forces as well.  You really sure you wanna go there?
