The Daily Fail once again fails (though they’re running this story based on other “news” sources courtesy of al Jazeera. This time, they try to claim that Israel somehow flooded Gaza by opening up dams allowing flood waters to enter Gaza.

“Israel opened water dams, without warning, last night, causing serious damage to Gazan villages near the border,’ he told Al Jazeera.

This quote from the chief of the civil defense agency in Gaza remained in the article even after the article’s headline was altered.

The original Al Jazeera article now has a redacted quote, removing the baseless intentional flooding accusation, which still appears in full in an article written by Vice News, entitled “Israel Denies Flooding of Gaza Despite Palestinian Accusations.”

This story was bogus on so many levels, starting with the fact that there aren’t any dams for Israel to even open. Anyone who bothered to check out the geography or wanted to dig even slightly into the story would have found it to be pure unadulterated bovine excrement. The article then goes on to claim Israel then cut power to Palestinians, even though there was significant flooding in Israel, and Israel even facilitated transfers of pumps to alleviate Palestinian flooding.

Even AFP picked up on this BS.

AFP reports then withdraws story claiming Israel opened dams to flood Palestinians b/c turns out dams don’t exist. The hashtag? #floodlibel
