[ExI] israelis defeat physics

[Fred C. Moulton]

Before speaking critically of the Lancet everyone should be aware of the
following:
1. The URL given is for a webpage that is not The Lancet but is rather
claiming The Lancet as a source.
2. The URL given is for a webpage which has a link listed as "Source".
If you go to that "Source" link you will find that you are not at the
journal The Lancet but at a blog site.  Further you will find the
original blog post has been removed.  See:

Disclaimer:  Please do not interpret my comments to indicate that I
reject all reports from Gaza or that I condone the actions of any
specific groups or countries in that region.
