I call 'bullshit'! Why did they not accept the wheelchairs and then show the world the batteries were missing? Because by not accepting and then making the claim, it puts them in a win/win situation, politically.
If Israel did indeed remove the batteries, they get slammed in the press and Hamas looks like the innocent. If they did not, Hamas can still claim they did take the batteries but put them back to try and save face and Hamas looks like the innocent. It would have been very easy for us to see the truth had Hamas accepted the supplies and then showed the world what they got, instead they played a stupid political game at the people's expense and all we have is a he said/she said game.
