The discredited Mohammed al-Dura video continues to unravel. Nidra Poller explains the latest surprise:
Philippe Karsenty, who is appealing his 2006 defamation conviction—for declaring on his Media-Ratings site that the al Dura news report was a blatant fake—obtained medical records proving that Jamal’s wounds were treated by an Israeli surgeon in 1994. Now the surgeon, Yehuda David, has confirmed this information on a December 12 newscast on Israel’s Arutz 10 TV.
Watch the Arutz 10 report in Hebrew. The Metula News Agency translated it into French. We’re not aware of an English translation yet.
