Come on Tom, if we had a thread with a tangential relationship to Israel where someone wasn’t making claims that required ruthless fact-checking and debunking, I’d think I’d gotten alcohol poisoning over New Year’s and died, and that I was in Heaven now.
This is very reassuring.
For those who are curious, by the way, the Guardian has retitled the article. I guess the Ghost of Journalism Past bonked them on the noggin.
P.S. I’d suspect (or hope) that the quibble above isn’t really about how Israel as a nation or government was involved, since it obviously wasn’t, but that it wasn’t only one doctor who was involved since he used his underlings to a degree. After all, the Guardian article (which gets basic facts wrong like when the story broke) says that “pathologists” were involved, and that means that there were two or three doctors involved… perhaps even as many as half a dozen or so at the same facility under the command of the same administrator!!
(ahem)
