In summary, the conversation discusses a misleading headline by Reuters that suggests Israeli's commandeered a UN ambulance, when in fact it was Palestinian gunmen who did so. The missing colon in the headline could be seen as a mistake or laziness, but some may theorize it as part of a larger conspiracy.

They've missed out a colon is all, i.e. Israel: gunmen used...

Of course you can theorize that the missing colon is part of a gigantic consipracy of some sort, or you could put down to a mistake/laziness.
