According to survivors of the strike, two extended families had taken shelter in the building. The survivors said that the Shalhoub and Hashem families remained in the building because they were unable to afford the cost of traveling north. The families also assumed that the Israeli drones that were patrolling the skies above the village had seen that the building was occupied by numerous children.The survivors spoke of two bombings: one at 1 A.M., and the second some 10 minutes later. However, what appeared to the survivors as a second bombing may have been the sound of the building coming down. None of the survivors said that the building only collapsed several hours later.  ~Haaretz

I don’t know which is more depressing: the idea that if the IDF were responsible for the civilian deaths, the people trying to deny that responsibility would simply cook up another justification, or the idea that there are actually people out there so obsessed with justifying this military campaign that they would readily embrace the notion that the entire thing had been faked.  Not surprisingly, chief among those entertaining the theories of the Qana deniers is Jonah “Lie for a Just Cause” Goldberg.
