The Francophones forgot to post the photo of "ballistic slingshots." To be fair, the Israeli photo of CD-ROMs, kaffiyas, wooden dowels and the Ginzu knife collection was later supplemented with one large ceremonal daggar of the Yemeni type, apparently without sharpened edges, although that is purely supposition on my part.
So far, the reports of violence against the international IDF peacekeepers on duty seem to have been confirmed in multiple instances: on one ship water was sprayed on IDF peacekeepers lowered by rope from helicopters, and in once case at least, an IDF peacekeeper was forced into the drink because of the extreme pressure of the water current. In another instance, not completely confirmed at press time, someone and perhaps several people refused to move out of the way of IDF peacekeepers, and had to be physically moved and beaten up for good measure. Unconfirmed reports continue to circulate of crazed peace protestors weilding wooden sticks and of a person who used a chair, most likely to deflect what was legitimate and legal gunfire aimed at their person.
Oh, and the paint-ball guns. What if the Lebanese Hezbollah/Hamas/Berkeley peacenik terrorists planted evidence to frame the IDF peacekeepers for using chemical/biological weapons contained in small spherules shot from paint-guns? These terrorist groups are known to have access to a wide arsenal of chem/bio agents and this would not be beyond the realm of possibility. We already know they've faked EXIF data in the photographic evidence.
