Haaretz adopts the journalistic standards of Saudi media

So here we go.  Some "activists" told Paul Wood of the BBC that Syrian regime is using chemical weapons in Homs.  Israeli propaganda mouthpiece, Haaretz, now reports that Syrian regime "intends" to (or "mull over") use chemical weapons.  Here are their methods of verification and documentation:  "Syria's military has begun stockpiling chemical weapons and equipping its soldiers with gas masks near the city of Homs, opposition sources reported on Thursday.  Opposition activists said they had received reports that the Syrian army had transferred a significant quantity of grenades and mortars containing chemical agents to a school building in Homs."  Let me make this guess: in one week, Haaretz will start--following standards of Saudi media--reporting about secrets of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards based on "inside sources."
