Well, I guess we all have our own deifinition of trolling. I don't define it as lying so much as posting with the intent of generating predictable responses and/or flames. In this case, based on popo's stringent defense of Israel in past discussions and his often times contempt for Palestinians, I could only see this relatively trivial news story as a ploy to further demonize them.
The people that already do not think favourably of Palestinians will see it as further evidence of anti-semitism and those who think it's a lame attempt at creating controversy will sigh and dismiss it. In my eyes, atleast, that's what's happened here.
So I call it a troll.
