CNN's Staged Video Updates: The Norwegian Connection

Why we should disbelieve the report breaks down into three reasons:

- Past experience that leads us to question the reliability of the sources
- Evidence the soruces are deeply biased
- Incongruities in the video that western medical experts claim to show staging.

The press has shown time and again to have falsely blamed Israel, from Jenin, to the Rusted Ambulances of 2006 and the al Dura blood libel, a pattern of press manipulation by Israel’s enemies is readily apparent. It is known that all major terror groups have propaganda arms with specific orders to lie about casualties and fabricate atrocities to undermine support for Israel. Israel is not perfect, in her wars civilians have died and in some cases she has improperly or pointlessly inflicted casualties. Most western military experts agree that Israel takes enormous steps to avoid civilian casualties.

If the man in the report is the same fellow who operates Hamas website, he must be viewed with deep suspicions. It cannot be automatically said he is lying but the burden of evidence must shift. Hamas could not even tell the world they were part of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood until AFTER Sheikh Yassin was killed. Honesty is not their long suit. There is also no question that UNRWA and its workers have actively collaborated with Hamas and anti Israel groups over the years. Weapons have been found on their premises time and again; UNRWA personnel have lied about activities on their facilities and they have a disturbing ability to hire only the most radical people as teachers and workers. UNRWA’s false accusations after Jenin were never retracted. If the CPR was indeed feigned, the man knew or had to know. Given his far Left leanings, his reliability should be assumed to be close to zero.

Lastly, I don’t know much about CPR but the tummy tapping in the vid is not going to do much. I have to believe the medicos on this blog who say its not effective.
