Is it plausible? As we are now, do you find one side to be more believable than the other?

Certainly plausible, but I don't have proof either way. I have asked both sides for more information/proof.

Does their view truly exonerate them?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Not only that, it makes it seem likely the tour operator is not only at fault for what happened, but also at fault for slander.

I'll let @Dan be fair and balanced, but this is looking really bad for the Jews involved...

But it is a total he said she said, both with strong arguments.

There's seemingly no market for in-depth news coverage. Everything is just quick hits.

True.

Also meaning, inaccurate news a lot of the time.  :(

And unfortunately many times, inaccurate news.

Most times.

Never heard of this affect (I even had to google it ;)), but yes, it is very very real.

Draft post, any comments?

Offhand looks great!
I don't get the reference that you reference at the beginning, but it's fine.

The only thing is that the timeline can't be made a bit more clear.
Dates with the year of when things happened etc would make it a bit clearer.

Also maybe make a break between your experience with cruises at the beginning to where the story begins

Vague threats of litigation are quite stupid when you are vaguely threatening a company with a legal department. You threaten litigation when you actaully plan on litigating, (or when you are threatening someone who doesn't have a lawyer.)
