About Those Israeli "Chemical Weapons..."

Thu, Aug 24, 2006 at 4:24:11 pm PDT

German public TV ARD looked into the latest mainstream antisemitic libel to make the rounds of Arab and Western media, the report that mysteriously blackened bodies in Lebanon had been victims of mysterious super-blackening Zionist “chemical weapons.” They took tissue samples from the bodies and had them scientifically analyzed. And nobody scientifically analyzes better than Germans.

I’ll leave the verdict as a surprise until the end of the video. (Heh.)

It really has come down to this: Is anything the MSM reports true? The debunkings are coming out quicker and thicker than the lies themselves these days.

The debunkings are coming out quicker and thicker than the lies themselves these days.

There's still plenty of material out there to work with. And if the public starts to become skeptical, and wants more evidence, we can always start pointing out past crockaganda, like Jenin. If you really started cataloging all of the debunking going back, say, 10 years, it would be a monumental task. So much BS, so little time!

This is the second German propaganda debunking I've seen on LFG recently. Was this report widespread on the German media? If so, then the Germans are to be lauded for having an interest in the truth.

Maybe there's hope that the monolithic European media will be challenged and Europeans in general will begin to realize the devious agenda
of the Euro-elites.

So, that lie got shot to hell. After this, the propaganda machine will take this video and claim that the Israelis actually harvested the organs of these victims during the tissue sampling process.

47 storagemanager  Thu, Aug 24, 2006 2:58:30pm
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, if he ever became the supreme decision maker in his country, would "sacrifice half of Iran for the sake of eliminating Israel," Giora Eiland, Israel's former national security adviser, told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.

At present, Eiland stressed, the ultimate decision maker in Iran was Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 67, whom he said was "more reasonable." But, Eiland went on, "if Ahmadinejad were to succeed him - and he has a reasonable chance of doing so - then we'd be in a highly dangerous situation."

The 49-year-old Iranian president, he said, "has a religious conviction that Israel's demise is essential to the restoration of Muslim glory, that the Zionist thorn in the heart of the Islamic nations must be removed. And he will pay almost any price to right the perceived historic wrong. If he becomes the supreme leader and has a nuclear capability, that's a real threat."
In facing up to Iran's nuclear ambitions, Eiland said the United States had three possible courses of action, "all of them bad," and that a decision could not be postponed for too long, "since delay, too, is a decision of sorts."

The first option was "to give up" - to accept that Iran was going nuclear and try to make the best of it. By "making the best of it," Eiland said, he meant "isolating Iran economically, politically and internationally in the hope that this will eventually prompt an internal push for regime change."

50 tigger2005  Thu, Aug 24, 2006 3:02:45pm

Israel really should have just kept on going with its offensive, not making any apologies for anything and blaming Hizballah for every civilian death.

I mean, the U.S. has been accused of all kinds of "atrocities," including the use of chemical weapons, in Iraq, and we are still there. You cannot let enemy propaganda dictate your battle strategy.

What horrible things can Israel be accused of that it hasn't been accused of already? Once you've been accused of kidnapping children and stealing their organs, there's not much you can do to top that. Bombing a couple of ambulances sorta pales by comparison.

Eventually these accusations would have faded into the giant festering odious cesspool of lies already leveled at Israel. But Hizballah annihilated and shattered Syrian armor smoking in the desert would remain a crystal clear memory.

Oh well, maybe next time.

OT , These Iranian idiots cant even build a cheap PEUGEOT, they blame the media !
And they think they are going to build nuclear warhead !


Iran Khodro official representative in Russia, Khalim Bilalov here Thursday criticized the media
propaganda and threats as well as destructive measures of Peugeot Company against sale of Iran Khodro's products under Peugeot trade mark on the Russian market.

He said that through continuous hue and cry against Iran Khodro products, in particular Peugeot 206, the Russian Peugeot Company has launched negative propaganda on the alleged low quality of the vehicle and Iran Khodro's incapability to offer after-sale services.

"This is while, such negative propaganda have not had the slightest effect on Russian clients to change their minds about purchasing the Iranian Peugeot 206, which in addition to its high quality and proper after-sale services, is at least 2,500 dollars cheaper than its French version," he said.

All of these fake news reports/photos/captions are not intended to fool Westerners. They know we aren't fooled, not even the MSM who know better and just play along because they're on the other side. Every fake news report gets disproven by bloggers within hours. I think it is aimed at the seething masses of muslims, sort of an Orwellian "two minutes of hate" every frickin' day. They can't really think were THAT stupid, can they?

64 zombie  Thu, Aug 24, 2006 3:25:10pm

Holy shiite!

I just got some incredible new info!

The Ambulance Hoax is connected to the Qana bombing, and they are both exact parallels of the exact same thing that happened in the exact same places exactly ten years earlier.

In 1996, there was "an ambulance bombed by Israelis."

A week later, there was the first "Qana massacre."

In 2006, there was "an ambulance bombed by Israelis."

A week later, there was the second "Qana massacre."

We now know the second ambulance attack was a fake, and the second Qana attack was at least partly fake.

Were they copycats of the first incidents? Yes. But now I have video of the 1996 "ambulance attack." And can you guess? Yup! It's TOTALLY FAKE. And now I'm beginning to think that the first Qana massacre must have been fake too! But we didn't have the blogosphere back then to debunk it!

Judge for yourselves:

New zombietime exclusive! ! !

Three different videos of the 1996 ambulance attack, by the Israelis against the Lebanese. To my eyes, an amateur film production. The number of flaws are too many to list! Sheer hoaxery! :

CNN TV report of the "1996 Ambulance Attack"

Quicktime Hezbollah movie of the "1996 Ambulance Attack"

RealVideo movie of the same attack -- extended director's cut.

(Turn down your volume before clicking the movie links -- they're overamped.)

I sure hope these bald-faced lies continue to be exposed. The thing that every once in a while gets me down a bit, is my perception that (in the West) we live in a world of some harsh realities regarding “the truth”. My personal estimates are that at the very least half of us either will never see hard fact news such as this, or even worse – could care less. So many people are caught up in their own personal sagas, trials and tribulations that the planet’s ills and dangers will mean little or nothing to them until it smacks them flat in the face. The battle for hearts, minds and ideas will always be shouldered by the minority that really care about the long-term future of humanity.

The underlying idea of David Horowitz's Unholy Alliance receives a boost from Ion Mihai Pacepa in a very revealing article: Russian Footprints
What does Moscow have to do with the recent war in Lebanon?

According to Andropov, the Islamic world was a waiting petri dish in which we could nurture a virulent strain of America-hatred, grown from the bacterium of Marxist-Leninist thought. Islamic anti-Semitism ran deep. The Muslims had a taste for nationalism, jingoism, and victimology. Their illiterate, oppressed mobs could be whipped up to a fever pitch.

In fact, Israel did use biological weapons of mass destruction in Lebanon as reported by AP!

"On an upper floor of Fares' house, family and marriage photos lay shredded. Fares said Israeli soldiers destroyed them. "Why?" he asked, holding a picture torn in two that showed him with his bride in her white wedding dress.

The soldiers left behind trash, flak jackets and green army water bottles and had defecated in rooms and on piles of withered tobacco that is grown here."

The Hizballah video shows the interior of the ambulance, which actually looks like someone's family station wagon rather than a proper ambulance...

Anyway, after we've just seen a huge explosion, allegedly caused by the "Israeli helicopter gunship," remarkably the car is apparently undamaged, except for one of the passengers who's hanging out the window dead from some traumatic injury.

Amazing, those high-tech Israeli missiles. They're like the neutron bomb, and can kill people without destroyning the car they're riding in.

(I'll have to look again, but I don't even think the glass in the car's windows got broken by the "explosion".)

If it isn't faked, forged, staged or photoshopped...then it's spun completely out of the realm of truth.

zombie: I captured all 3 videos -- but don't get too pumped. It's going to be extremely difficult to pull evidence (if it's there) from these low-resolution images.

Yes, I undertand we're not going to get the high-resolution pictures to analyze like in 2006. However, the analysis this time is more of the "cinematic" variety: every aspect of the shoot looks like it has been planned.

How did the cameraman know exactly when and where to shoot

-- the helicopter
-- the car about to be blown up
-- the rescue vehicle
-- etc.

The "explosion" looks like a "cut-in" -- a technique from the '20s and '30s, when they would film a scene, then film an explosion separately, then edit the two clips together.

More: Why does the cameraman sit there impotently filming the "victims" in the car? Why not try to help?

Why does the "destroyed" ambulance have an intact roof/chassis/etc.? Just as in 2006, where is the explosive damage?

Look how the girl is posed, hanging out the window. Seems like an acting job.

Look at the mourners. Bizarre inauthentic behavior! Why does the little girl try to put on a hijab, and then fall to the ground and roll around?

I could go on and on.....

Unfortunately it looks like that fight might come sooner rather than later because a bad ceasefire is only a prelude to another war. Same as these things have always been. This is only a strategic pause, and you can be sure that Hizbullah is licking its wounds and trying its best to resupply, all while Israel is still looking quite closely at what's crossing the border from Syria into Lebanon.

Lessons are being learned on both sides, and I can only hope that Israel's leaders learn quicker - though I think the chief lesson is to make decisive and swift decisions and not let up. The indecision at the top - from Olmert on down let the Israeli people down.

...Here are some terrorist actions for which the KGB took credit while I was still in Romania: November 1969, armed attack on the El Al office in Athens, leaving 1 dead and 14 wounded; May 30, 1972, Ben Gurion Airport attack, leaving 22 dead and 76 wounded; December 1974, Tel Aviv movie theater bomb, leaving 2 dead and 66 wounded; March 1975, attack on a Tel Aviv hotel, leaving 25 dead and 6 wounded; May 1975, Jerusalem bomb, leaving 1 dead and 3 wounded; July 4, 1975, bomb in Zion Square, Jerusalem, leaving 15 dead and 62 wounded; April 1978, Brussels airport attack, leaving 12 wounded; May 1978, attack on an El Al plane in Paris, leaving 12 wounded.

In 1971, the KGB launched operation Tayfun (Russian for “typhoon”), aimed at destabilizing Western Europe. The Baader-Meinhof, the Red Army Faction (RAF), and other KGB-sponsored Marxist organizations unleashed a wave of anti-American terrorism that shook Western Europe. Richard Welsh, the CIA station chief in Athens, was shot to death in Greece on December 23, 1975. General Alexander Haig, commander of NATO in Brussels was injured in a bomb attack that damaged his armored Mercedes beyond repair in June 1979. General Frederick J. Kroesen, commander of U.S. forces in Europe, barely survived a rocket attack in September 1981. Alfred Herrhausen, the pro-American chairman of Deutsche Bank, was killed during a grenade attack in November 1989. Hans Neusel, a pro-American state secretary in the West German interior ministry, was wounded during an assassination attempt in July 1990.

In 1972, the Kremlin decided to turn the whole Islamic world against Israel and the U.S. As KGB chairman Yury Andropov told me, a billion adversaries could inflict far greater damage on America than could a few millions. We needed to instill a Nazi-style hatred for the Jews throughout the Islamic world, and to turn this weapon of the emotions into a terrorist bloodbath against Israel and its main supporter, the United States. No one within the American/Zionist sphere of influence should any longer feel safe. ...


Amazing.

Like anyone couldn't see this coming?

Is anyone investigating Hizbullah's use of katuysha and other rockets, mortars and missiles to attack Israelis? Is anyone investigating Hizbullah's use of human shields to inflate the death toll in Lebanon because Hizbullah purposefully put their assets in areas where civilians were living, working, and travelling through?

The car's windshield wipers are scraping the dry windshield, which is at least undamaged enough to support the tension of the springs that pull the wipers onto the windshield, and smooth enough not to impede the wiper blades' movement.

Conclusion: the windshield isn't damaged.

"School children should be taught the hard truths of what went on a year ago in New Orleans. They should know that even a country that was founded on honor and respect can become arrogant and callous. No one should ever forget the horrible images of last summer—people literally left to die while their president did a “flyover” in Air Force One.

We grow as a nation when we remember who we are supposed to be as human beings. We’re meant to help each other, we’re meant to reach through chaos with the balm of compassion. And we’re meant to look with clear eyes at the times we have fallen short and abandoned those in need so we never repeat those tragic missteps. Most importantly, we’re meant to learn from those people who manage to find gratitude in their hearts even after being left to die.


We need to remember that even though a heartless administration is in power, the hearts of Americans are bigger and more persistent. We saw that in the aftermath of Katrina. The government just couldn’t seem to get to New Orleans, but ordinary citizens had no problem rushing in to help.

Some more victimology theater that was exposed as false by the good work of the German scientific establishment. Cheers to all those who were involved in exposing the lie.

I believe that this was a deliberate lie, involving victimology theater, because it appears that the perpetrators went to the trouble of discoloring the skin, in order to, in their mind, fake the effect of a chemical weapon. However, the fakers used black smoke to do the discoloration, which was easily uncovered by the chemistry lab. And the lab also noted that the smoke on the skin could not have been the cause of death.

It seems that the fakers took some bodies, and discolored the skins, in order to claim (falsely) that it was the result of a chemical weapon. Fortunately for the truth, the attempt was crude and was easily proved to be phony.

Hmm. How long before we see the Iraqi insurgents equipped with these armor-piercing bullets?

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei lashed out at US President George W. Bush… This Person (Bush) speaks as if he were the master and owner of Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Iran and other Muslim states, but if the huge power of nations comes to the scene — as it happened in Lebanon, it will smash the arrogant powers so badly that the enemies of Islam will no longer be able to continue with their rude and arrogant behavior," Ayatollah Khamenei said…

Okay. So, some in the U.S. say that Hezbollah acted autonomously in Lebanon and its war against Israel, and that Syria and Iran played no roll. But then the Supreme Leader brags about Israel’s defeat being the result of the “huge power of nations…”

Germany joined in criticizing the latest Iranian nuclear proposal Thursday, as an exiled opposition group charged that Iran was secretly building advanced centrifuges at a rate that could dramatically accelerate its production of nuclear fuel

Which leads us to this...
Israel may 'go it alone' against Iran


"The Iranians know the world will do nothing," he said. "This is similar to the world's attempts to appease Hitler in the 1930s - they are trying to feed the beast."

He said there was a need to understand that "when push comes to shove," Israel would have to be prepared to "slow down" the Iranian nuclear threat by itself.

THE GERMANS:

A couple of commenters seem to express surprise that German television has exposed this.

There are many examples of similar exposes by German media, especially since 9/11.

A major but often overlooked factor regarding WW2 & the Holocaust is that in 1936 Germans were a "modern" society in every sense, much as we see ourselves today. It was only 70 years ago. Hitler's rise to power then, was as shocking then as it would be now.

Germany has a cool society today and it had one then. We expect Nazi-style behaviour from dictatorships. Let's not forget that it can happen anywhere. We are all Germans.

KABUL: Coalition troops in eastern Afghanistan killed seven suspected Al-Qaeda operatives in a gunbattle in which a child was also shot dead, the US-led force said.

The shootout erupted in mountainous eastern Kunar province, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the border with Pakistan, when coalition troops went to the area to capture a "known Al-Qaeda facilitator," it said on Thursday.

"Our forces arrived in the area and were immediately fired on. We returned fire killing seven Al-Qaeda fighters," spokesman Colonel Thomas Collins told AFP. ...

Islamaphobia in Londonistan
Many feel threatened by Islam: poll


Most people in the UK feel threatened by Islam, a poll has revealed, after the Government launched a bid to tackle inter-faith tensions.

The YouGov survey for the Daily Telegraph found 53% were concerned about the impact of the religion (islam-ed) - not just fundamentalist elements - up 21% from 2001.

There had also been a near doubling of the number agreeing that "a large proportion of British Muslims feel no sense of loyalty to this country and are prepared to condone or even carry out acts of terrorism".

A total of 18% backed the statement - compared with just one in 10 in the wake of the terrorist bombings in London last July.

And there was a seven point slump - to 16% - in those believing "practically all British Muslims are peaceful, law-abiding citizens who deplore terrorist acts as much as anyone else".

Good news, now what?

169 Beagle  Thu, Aug 24, 2006 4:28:03pm

Here's an article (moonbat warning) on cluster munitions. Notice that "a growing international consensus" is Belgium.

Because of the high proportion of civilians killed or injured by those weapons, they are opposed by many organizations including the Red Cross, the Cluster Munition Coalition and the United Nations. There is now a growing international consensus to stop the use of those weapons.

In February 2006, Belgium became the first country to ban cluster munitions; Norway announced a moratorium on the same weapons in June. Presently, more states are calling for a new international instrument to deal with it, as it is felt that existing humanitarian law is not sufficient to respond to the issues associated with cluster munitions.

Israel will save the world. We owe them big time.

Let's not count the rest of the West out just yet, shall we? "Saving the world" is a mighty tall order. One that I doubt Israel is capable of delivering. If this global threat is to be contained, it is going to take a concerted effort. Israel cannot possible deal with global terrorism/nuclear proliferation on multiple global fronts.

In the CNN clip, notice the objects that are on the side of the road at about :13 as the car vanishes in a puff of smoke. We see most notably a yellow metal tower, looking something like a radio antenna tower, immediately behind the car, looking like it's almost next to the right front fender or a short distance ahead.

Later in the video, as the camera pulls back from the enormous puff of smoke to a wide shot, note the position of the yellow tower, which comes into frame from the right at about :16. We think we see the car blow up right as it passed the yellow tower, yet in the wide shot, the yellow tower is some meters closer to the camera, and not anywhere near the plume of smoke from the explosion.

In fact, another car, headed the opposite way on the road, appears to be parked near the yellow tower, and we see people jump out of that car and run to the left...

I estimate that with their talk of chemical weapons, they are setting up to use biochemical weapons against Israel. Their talk is a sign of what's to come rather than a verification of what has been done. This is blood libel of the worst sort. In the Arab world, even men of science are horribly unscientific. They seem to think that to claim a thing is so is to realize it in spite of all evidence to the contrary. Appalling!

184 Helen  Thu, Aug 24, 2006 4:40:44pm

msq, I think the Germans are doing what they can to stand in Israel's corner. I've noticed the same thing. One would have imagined that the Germans would have been spouting the same sort of anti-Semitic propaganda that the rest of the media have been dishing. Instead, they've been applying sound investigative and scientific principles to debunk a great deal of the nonsense. It's like Germany is attempting to protect Israel, is making amends by ensuring Israel is not destroyed by propaganda. It's a beautiful thing to watch. Not even the American media is this much in Israel's corner.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that Willy P and cluster amunitions are not banned.

Those weapons aren't specifically banned, neither is the mythical .50 cal against personnel.

It is a question of proportionality, that is where the Laws of Armed Conflict can meter in.

Of course, under our recognized Laws of Armed Conflict, as they are interpreted from the Hague and Geneva Conventions, people who run around and engage regulars while wearing civies are illegal combatants, and have little to no rights to anything.

That is why the precedent must be maintained that irregulars wearing nike T-shirts are illegal combatants, and therefore free game for the meat grinder, extreme prejudice.

This has been our position in the past, and should remain such in the future.

Also note that just before the explosion is shown, in addition to the yellow tower in the background, we see the car is passing a parked red car in the foreground, again at about :13 on the CNN clip.

After the camera pulls back, where is the red car? Well, we can't say for certain its the same one, but there's a red car that someone else is bailing out of that is parked very close to the camera at about :18.

We know it's red, because if we check the oversaturated Hizballah video, there it is, also at about :18.

As we saw with the foreshortening of the bombed bridge photos we examined earlier, the footage of the car could have been shot with a zoom lens, thus flattening the yellow tower and the ambulance car and the red car in the foreground apparently all into the same depth of field. However, a zoom lens would not affect their relative positions. The car in the beginning of the video, just before the explosion, must be somewhere between the yellow tower and the red car.

Perhaps there is another yellow tower, farther down the road from the one we see in the wide shot after the explosion?

No, check the sequence of objects that the ambulance car passes prior to the explosion:

:09 crossfade from shot of ambulance approaching guard house with grey and white wall.

:10 ambulance reaches the end of the grey and white wall, passing a barrel in the foreground.

:11 ambulance passes concertina wire, and approches a small white sign

:12 ambulance passes x-barrier (tank trap?) and sandbags

:13 ambulance passes large white sign and approaches yellow tower, passing red car

:13 EXPLOSION

and what do we see at :18 in both Hizballah and CNN's version of the video?

In the foreground, there is a red car, and in the background, a large white sign, and then a yellow tower. And much further down the road, a huge plume of smoke...

Well, take a look at this. At :39 into the RealVideo version (the director's cut ;) ) from the Yahoo site, what do we see in the background, behind the family that is earlier shown fleeing from the explosion down the road?

The X-barrier (tank trap?), the "big white sign" (which is apparently the roof of some guard shelter), and the yellow tower...

And a bit later, as the man is emoting for the camera, he bends down out of frame, and we pan around to see the end of the gray and white wall, at about 1:05. The end of the gray and white wall that the ambulance car apparently passed only three seconds before the explosion...

Just before we cut away from him, note the red car at the right side of the frame at 1:07.

As we cut to the woman collapsing in grief at 1:07, note that by this time the smoke from the down the road has completely dispelled, and the road is blocked by the x-barrier (tank trap?) and some black and white barrels. the white car shown earlier in the foreground of the explosion sequence has now driven off down the road, as shown at :51.

A bit later, at about 1:15 in the RealVideo version from Yahoo, we finally get a good look at the relative positions of the yellow tower, the big "white sign" (actually a guard shelter) which is sandbagged, the x-barrier (tank trap) and the small white sign.

Thus far, all we can say with certainty is that, despite how it appears at first glance, some time has elapsed between the time we last see the ambulance and the explosion. We do not see the ambulance being hit by the explosion.

The position where we last see the ambulance is considerably closer to the camera than the location of the explosion, and during the time that has been edited out of the sequence, a barricade of barrels and a white car has been positioned across the road between the camera and the smoke from the explosion, and this barricade is not far from the position where the ambulance was when it is last shown before the explosion.

This video purports to show the explosion hitting the ambulance, but it undoubtedly took at least a few minutes for the black and white barrels and the white car to be positioned across the road in the spot that we've just seen the ambulance car drive through.

The CNN narration concerning the explosion says:

"In the confusion and panic of the civilian rush to escape the Israeli onslaught, an ambulance weaves its way through the chaos... his vehicle filled with passengers. In the blink of an eye, it vanishes in a cloud of dense smoke ...targeted by an Israeli helicopter gunship."

198 The Monster  Thu, Aug 24, 2006 6:57:38pm

As to why the Germans are so big on this...

Historically, Germany was one of the best places in Europe to be a Jew. It was not unified under a single government at the time that Catholic monarchies in Spain and France purged themselves of Protestants, as well as Jews and Muslims.

It was where Martin Luther felt free enough to start the Reformation, and countless other religious experiments took hold. An environment that tolerated differences of faith also encouraged scientific inquiry, and a culture that honors technical competence, to which Charles alludes.

It took a master of manipulation, a propaganda machine the likes of which the world has never seen before or since, to manipulate the people so well. The Osties lived under Communist propaganda for another half century. Let's just say that they're sensitized to it.

By the same token, the survivors of the Holocaust, virtually all of whom can count close relatives among those poisoned by Zyklon, are sensitized to the horrors of chemical weapons. It is difficult to imagine an Israeli administration willing to take the risk that voters would find out they deployed them.

The Hizballah version of the video has the sound of the explosion "sweetened" to be a very loud thunderous explosion, but the "director's cut" from Yahoo, which is apparently the "wild" audio (as the movie term goes) from the location renders the explosion more like a loud pop.

I bet if you were to demux the audio from the Hizballah video and look at the waveform, you could see where the sound effects were spliced in!

200 transferthem  Thu, Aug 24, 2006 7:25:16pm

The point is not whether i has been proved that Israel did not use chemical weapons. The point is that the claim has been made and the ongoing media war against Israel allows such claims to be accepted as the truth.

The disproving of the accusation is like a two line retraction hidden away among the classified ads on page 20 of the paper who made the libellous statement to begin with.

This technique, followed identically in relation to the ambulances that Israel supposedly attacked, is used again and again. And the MSM trot it out every time, even if it is a total fabrication. Massacres at juenin and qana, chemical weapon attacks, rockets fired at ambulances. All disproved, all widely believed.

Meanwhile, the muslim bacteria get away with firing rockets exclusively at civilian targets, all packed with ball bearings and shrapnel designed to tear innocent bodies apart. And the msm says NOTHING because it quietly makes teh statement that these Jews deserve it for.....massacres at juenin and qana, chemical weapon attacks, rockets fired at ambulances. THIS is the true cycle of violence and I truly hope to see teh day when msm journalists arre brought to trial for aiding genocide agaisnt Jews.

Yes, that was the point I was trying to make, a little less precisely. There is film of the car driving. Then that scene ends. Then an entirely different film clip, filmed at some later point, is spliced into the movie next. Boom! It happens so suddenly, in the "blink of an eye."

Gad, that was so obvious, and CNN knew it. They're lying like a rug.

The effect reminds me of various Perils of Pauline or other silent shorts, when explosions were crudely spliced in. It fooled 'em in 1920, but it don't fool us no more.

Sadly, I don't have time to blog about this 1996 stuff. I tossed it in Charles' lap like an unwanted hot potato, but he isn't convinced it's fake, so (understably) doesn't want to make a thread out of it.

As a result, if you're gonna wanna see your great analysis blogged further, you're going to have to do it yourself!

You wonder how many other events through the Arab Israeli conflict may have been staged or invented or exaggerated to inflame passions and cause great harm to Israel.

We all know about how the Palestinians lied when they accusied Israel of perpetrating a massacre at Jenin in April 2002.

There was an earlier case of blood libel against Israel in Jenin in 1983; Back then Israel was accused by the Palestinians of using poison against Palestinian schoolgirls. It turned out to be a blatant lie but the damage had been done when and Israel was vilified by the international community before the truth was known.

Here is an article about this episode. Please read.

The writer of the article has also written a book about the case. Please read the reviews.

The Germans are also upping the Israeli navy with two additional subs. The Dolphin class nuclear capable submarines, will be build in Kiel, Germany and the Germans will pay 1/3 of the price. The subs are an improved version of the three submarines Germany delivered to Israel in 1999 and 2000 (5/6 of which was paid for by Germany). The new subs will provide Israel with first and improved second strike capabilities - but lets hope it never comes to that.
