Title:Why we can be sure this is Israeli propaganda

It`s ALWAYS, but ALWAYS, the spurious little details they add to anchor the lie in reality.
Remember the supposed practice for an attack on Iran that we were told the IAF had carried out - the run to Gibraltar and back ("Oh yes, that figures - that`s about the right distance - sounds good to me")?
This is the giveaway detail in this bit of propaganda:
"The report said the physicist died from "radioactive poisoning" as part of a Mossad effort to halt the Iranian nuclear program through "secret operations.""
This spurious detail has been included to stir up echoes in our minds of Alexander Litvinenko`s recent murder in London with plutonium-210.
In fact, rather than adding authenticity to the story it reveals its bogus nature, for assassination with plutonium-210 is one of the most difficult and least likely to be used option open to Israel`s agents.
This story is clearly a fabrication, another fine product from the factory of the Official Israeli Liar.
