A Textbook Example of IDS

You can't get a much clearer picture of Israeli Derangement Syndrome than the defense of the ambulance attack story being put out by The Australian newspaper.

A quick summary: Just because some pro-Israel web site (and yes they actually say that) happens to put up a detailed analysis of publicly available photos (well those the Red Cross sees fit not to remove from their servers are still publicly available) that completely and utterly destroy all claims that an Israeli missile or rocket caused the damage to the Lebanese ambulance doesn't mean it didn't happen. Our own reporter has reviewed his original second hand account of the story and has decided that it is completely true (except of course for all the key details that he choose to change without any acknowledgment).

So there!

P.S. If anyone is interested in opening up a chapter of the Flat Earth Society down under, I would suggest starting recruitment at the press room of The Australian.

Update:
Just adding an official h/t to Tim Blair for helping provide most of the links.
