A futile retraction

You may recall a month ago, the world was agog (agog! I tell you) that Israel had the temerity to respond to constant shelling of it's civilian population by shooting at the fuckers that were launching rockets. Allegedly one of the shells struck a school where 40 Palestinian civilians were sheltering and they were all killed.

• Daily Mail: "Gaza's darkest day: 40 die as Israel bombs 'safe haven' UN school"
  
• The Guardian: "Gaza's day of carnage - 40 dead as Israelis bomb two UN schools"
• The Times: "Ban Ki-Moon lambasts shelling of UN in Gaza"

Protests ensued and swastikas were bandied about, rhetoric got heated and the media and everyone got all very nasty at Israel about it's clearly disproportionate retaliation and lack of perfect weaponry that only kills bad guys.

And now a month later, when no one any longer gives a rat's arse (especially the media because they are too busy covering Obama's latest bowel movement) and the damage is done, the agency that first reported this 'war crime' (hint: it begins with a U and ends with an N) has now retracted the report that started all this rage and international condemnation.

What's the bet you're going to see that story in any paper soon?
