A look at the way France2 handles the evidence, an insight into how Pallywood can fool the Western media… it’s apparently full of fools.
Pallywood Strikes Again2
For a better view, see the version up at Second Draft, and if it’s also poor quality, download it. It’s worth watching a quality version.
Yes, it’s amazing how the western media falls for Pallywood time after time. If I were as incompetent in my profession as the journalists who are duped time after time with Pallywood hoaxes, I’d have been fired multiple times from my job.
RL, is it only France2 that owns the original 27 minutes of Al-Dura rushes, or do other media outlets possess the 27 minutes?
This has the potential to be a powerful indictment – unfortunately the soundtrack is not in sync with the video which causes distraction and confusion.
Thank you, Richard, for pressing on with the thankless task of telling this sorry tale of bias, sensationalism and criminal complicity in the media. The MSM appear to be deaf and blind to the Karsenty decision, as they have been to every other proof of Arab blood libels. Thanks to the power of the Internet and tireless bloggers like you, their silence does not prevent the truth from coming to light.
In the case of the man shot in the leg I don’t see how one can tell the direction of fire from the barely visible cloud of dust. Furthermore the direction claimed in the video (depicted by the red arrow imposed over the AFPT scene with the Land Rover’s front side toward the camera) comes from the Israeli outpost – from ahead and slightly to the right not from the Palestinian outpost (offscreen, perpendicular to the camera’s viewing direction, coming from the right).
In the case of the man shot in the leg, the video seems to confuse the direction of the Israeli outpust (ahead and slightly to the right in the AFPT scene with the Land Rover facing at the camera) and the Palestinian position (all the way to the right of the camera.)

I am not so sure all of them fall for it. They prefer not to question. Quite different.
