The more we learn about the Gaza beach explosion, the less it appears that Israel was to blame. Ed Morrissey writes:

Once again, it appears that the story might have more complications than the original reporting. The video of the explosion’s aftermath have spread around the world, and people have concluded that the IDF shelled a picnic due to incompetency or worse. The media has already plotted out the story: another atrocity by a Western power, perhaps deliberate but more likely just an offshoot of brutal training methods and an overtaxed enlisted corps. Facts will not much matter after they have the meme resolved.
