Guardian Lies Through Its Teeth

• Views: 2,319

In a sleazy smear piece dripping with hatred for Israel, the Guardian’s John Sutherland tries his level best to blame the photos of Rachel Corrie teaching Palestinian children to burn American flags on the evil Jews.

Pictures had accompanied the news reports of Rachel’s death, megaphone in hand, standing in front of the menacing bulldozer. A pose inescapably reminiscent of Tiananmen Square. Another picture showed her fallen in front of the murderous blade. Questions were asked as to whether the images had been “manipulated”.

Two days later a contrary photograph of Rachel appeared, first in the Seattle Times (the article accompanying it has since been removed). It depicts her snarling, shawled and in a Palestinian street demonstration, tearing up a paper US flag. The provenance given for the photograph (a mysterious snapper called “Khalil Hamra”) led nowhere. Where, then, had it come from? Paranoia suggested the Israeli secret service, which monitors such events. This picture also looked, to some expert eyes, doctored.

This is an outright lie, and a hideous distortion. There is nothing mysterious about the “provenance” of this photo, Sutherland, you dishonest anti-Semitic rat:

It comes from the Associated Press. I assume you’ve heard of them? And this photograph:

…can still be seen at the web site of Rachel Corrie’s own organization, the Olympia Movement for Justice and Peace. They were proud of it.

This is one of the most disgusting pieces of yellow journalism I have ever read, and it exposes the so-called “editors” of the Guardian as the Jew-hating freaks they are. Sickening.
