Reuters never miss an opportunity to serve the Islamic propaganda machine for all its little parts and mutations. In this service of theirs facts don’t matter, hearsay rules and the local correspondents, whose credibility level equals to this of a hungry crocodile looking at the young water buck, feed the network with preposterous headlines.

Here is the latest example:

Israeli troops kill Palestinian near fence: medics

GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli troops killed a Palestinian farmer in the Gaza Strip near the border fence with Israel on Thursday, medical officials said.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said she was looking into the report.

In a separate incident, the Islamist group Hamas said two members of its armed wing were killed in an explosion in a training camp in Gaza City. The group had blamed the blast on an Israeli air strike but later said there had been no attack.

The Gaza medical officials said the 61-year-old farmer was shot dead near the frontier fence east of Khan Younis in the central part of the Hamas-controlled territory.

Palestinian militants often plant explosives near the fence and Israeli patrols treat as suspicious any movement of Palestinians in the frontier area.

So, I guess “Palestinian medics” were right at the spot when this so-called farmer was shot allegedly by the Israelis? And if they weren’t, I did not know the medics in Gaza posses sophisticated surveillance equipment which monitors who and when fires in different spots of Gaza. I guess now I understand why they experience shortage of funds for medicine and medical equipment and where the money donated by their “Arab brothers” and EU went into. Oh, old silly me.

The possibility that this “farmer” was gunned down by Hamas just because he’s a member of FATAH have never crossed the mind of the reporter Nidal al-Mughrabi and his editors? But hey, thanks for trying to put up a “we’re neutral” show and squeezing “Palestinian militants often plant explosives near the fence” into the report. But I bet this alone would have never make it a headline on al-Reuters, would it?
