Palestinians Caught In Another Libel?

January 4, 2011 15:32 by

Did Jawaher Abu Rahma really die from inhaling tear gas or is this yet another Big Lie? It wouldn't be the first time Palestinian deaths blamed on the IDF have turned out to be, at best, mistaken, or worse, outright libels.

    Arab lies are called taqiyyah, and it’s their war strategy. They use taqiyyah to hide their intent the same way we use camouflage to hide our presence. Unfortunately, they’ve been able to manipulate our media, and we must continue to be vigilant and force them to stick to journalistic ethics. And then remind them that their continued betrayal of democracies (Israel and the US) will only lead us to Islamic Sharia rule.

    This story has the potential to degenerate into another Mohammed Al-Durra hoax, where the boy was seen to rise from the stretcher, which exculpatory evidence of the deception was never revealed in any mainstream media reports. The photo of the boy cowering in his father’s arms reached legendary status. Sadly the truth has been consistently obscured and denounced.

    The entire world is aware of the fact that Israel , has many, many intelligent people, yet, when it comes to PR or propaganda, Israel acts like a child. Better yet, they re-act. It is time that Israel takes the offensive. It appears the Arabs or Palestinians learned propaganda from Goebbels who was a master in propagating lies. If I remember correctly, he supposedly stated: repeat a lie often enough it becomes believable.A good example here in the USA, when the Tea Party organization has come up with stories about our President and about 20% of our population beieve this nonsense.

    just a question…why is contact information for the Ha’aretz newspaper not provided? seems like they deserve to receive some comments as well as the NY Times, Washington Post, BBC, CNN and the Independent.
