You. No, You. 

Who is at fault for the Gaza blast that killed an estimated 500 people?  We may never know but responsibility for the tragedy has already been obfuscated by competing claims from Hamas and the Israelis.  One side or the other is lying or using propaganda to justify its position even though it doesn't know the facts.  Such competing communications are typical of war.  Each side wants to gain advantage by accusing the other of misdeeds. The truth be damned.  The public knows this and distrusts both.  Only an impartial investigation can establish probabilities but neither side will acquiesce to that. So the blame game continues to muddy messages. It's a disgusting outcome but that is partially the terror of war.
