More Fauxtography: Palestinians Use 2005 Footage, Parade it as 2009 IDF Attack on Gaza Market
By Debbie Schlussel
As we know, you can’t believe everything you see . . . especially when Muslims are using it as propaganda in their jihad against the non-Muslim world. They did it during the Israel-Hezbollah war, they did it before and after that, and they continue to do it.
The latest is with video Palestinians are claiming depicts an Israeli Defense Forces airstrike on civilians in a Gaza market, last week. In fact, it is footage from 2005 at Jebalya refugee camp–a hotbed of Palestinian terrorist training and bomb-making.
Read the whole story about this fakery. And don’t believe any of this Muslim propaganda. It’s more of the same fakery.
The situation up to now is also telling us about the spinlessness of the US and the European countries. Israel is fighting an out-and-out terrorist organization, and the Western world is sitting on the fence, yammering about disproportionate responses, and trying to arrange cease-fires. This is telling the terrrorists once again about the lack of will power in the West to fight terrorism.
While I agree with your comments about Kadima/Labor’s opportunism, I think that Netanyahu’s ambivilence is making things easier for them. He seems to be acting kind of like the Obama-lite Republicans in the US.
It’s true that World War II ended in the destruction of large sections of the enemy’s population, and this has been true in other wars as well. I agree with you to the extent that I would never expect Palestinian attitudes towards Israel to change any time soon (i.e. in the next few decades), but I can see the possibility that massive air & ground retaliation and destruction of various Hamas leaders could demorzlize Hamas and extract significant concessions. I am not saying that I expect this to happen, but I also do not think it is totally out of the question.
