Utterly unbelievable. This guy is basically a propaganda officer, specifically trained to deal with the media and to ensure the IDF get’s good press, and – surprise, surprise – Nouse gets feed info that gives the IDF relatively good press!

What was to be expected – “Captain Benjamin Rutland admitted ‘yeah, actually my job is to severally distort the truth. Like calling an an eight-metre-high concrete wall, which features trenches, steel-and-barbed wire electric fences, thermal-image cameras and guard-towers, a fence. You know – like a garden fence or a chain link fence, except absolutely nothing like either of those two examples. Yeah, it’s the same wall Pope Benedict recently talked of, saying, “In a world where more and more borders are being opened up – to trade, to travel, to movement of peoples, to cultural exchanges – it is tragic to see walls still being erected.” The same wall that in 2004 the International Court of Justice declared “contrary to international law”. Lets skim over Israel’s leading civil rights organisation describing Isreal polices in the West Bank as “reminiscent of apartheid”. Oh and the number of Palestinian dead I gave might just be wrong, but we won’t mention that, or the high levels of criticism we’ve faced from Amnesty, The Red Cross, the EU and the UN. Oh, and I won’t even mention white phosphorus.”

If this is even supposed to be objective reporting, why not go to town and get some propaganda from some friendly Hama’s representatives, usually found near those terribly misunderstood Qassam rocket launchers. You know, get the full load of lies.
