Palestinian Fauxtography?

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Monday, January 5. 2009 12:22
The devil, I say.

My good friends at CAMERA Snapshots (no relation) have been covering the latest Hamas manipulation of the press fairly relentlessly over the past few days, and a couple of photographic-related items seem to stand out:

There are more photographers than doctors on the scenes at al-Shifa Memorial Human Shields Storage Area Hospital? And to think, almost none of them seem to be able to spot the militants amongst the bunch.

CAMERA has also spotted a non-injured man being paraded around as a victim. Or at least, he surely looks non-injured (as do many of the other "victims" being paraded into al-Shifa Hospital).
I'll only add to this by pointing out that faithful Muslims the world over appear to be quite adept at parading around bodies. Or, to be more accurate, reasonable approximations thereof.

Is it therefore beyond the depth of imagination, armed with this knowledge, to suppose that Palestinians are also "dressing up" their victimhood just a touch?

Oh, and finally: ISLAM IS PEACE. And nothing says "peace" quite like dressing your children as killers. (At a peace rally, no less!)

Perhaps the international collective of moral outrage ought to take a nice, long look at themselves in the proverbial mirror before they begin heaping blame on Israel.

UPDATE: Finally, we've found a case of fauxtography that the Press is eager to investigate. Shocking details within.

*What I find disturbing is that all of the arab countries talk about Israel pulling out of Gaza but never any mention of the numerous rockets fired at Israel from Hamas and Hezbollah They are only looking through "one eye" at the total picture.

*1. Sharon sounds like she was educated in Damascus Univ. What's the arab name for Sharon?
And the Muslims say they don't hate Jews.

2. Doesn't the Koran state that one can lie for the good of the faith? Doctoring pictures in the same.
Notice how stretcher bearers are always running towards the camera with the 'victim' being bounced around almost falling off. Medics will tell u that real victims would never survive. Just more lie.
Sharon, r u there?

*Sharen,
as for no money, the pallies received over a billion and some reports close to several billions of dollars in 2007 alone.

They receive more funds per capita that any other group of people.

Pic of man and medic in Exhibit A looks like they are just wrestling. You know, letting off some steam during these stressful times.

Exhibit B shows the loser, the medic, playing the dead guy. See how much fun everyone is having. See how they just stand around with their hands in their pockets?

fun to be had for all.
