BBC Warns—Gaza Photos Aren’t Really from Gaza

Many of the graphic images being shared on social media are really from Syria or Iraq, finds the broadcaster. […]

“A #BBCtrending investigation has found that many of these images are not from the latest conflict and not even from Gaza. Some date as far back as 2009 and others are from conflicts in Syria and Iraq.” …

You mean they found the green helmet guy again?

I used to go to the Grand Bazaar in Tehran while serving there not to buy anything in particular but for the sport of the buy. Perception is everything to these people, so much so that they are thoroughly convinced they can sell you the lump in their hand of what they swear on their mother’s grave is gold when everyone can see it is camel dung.

Well-l-l, at least the BBC is trying to point out the truth, which is extremely rare for them to do about anything related to Israel. Just goes to show (1) how easily and quickly lies spread in this day of instant social media and (2) how hard it is to then get people to listen to the truth afterwards.

Are you trying to say that the Palestinians would, (gulp), lie to me? /s

[Madame Dufarge]

Lying, it's what muslims do. Remember this oldie but goodie?

They have been doing the Phun with Photoshop and Fun with Fotoshop for years. Sometimes pretty - good, many times - awfully obvious.

Another day, another blood libel.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. They didn’t say nothin’ ‘bout photo shopping, just locale and time-frame...adjustments. You can’t expect the BBC (Bloody British Communists) to come completely clean.

C’mon..BBC was categorically named as Khomeini’s voice in 1978,79,80...by Khomeini.. no objections from BBC back then. Khomeini’s gang broadcast fake photos of bloody attacks on anti Shah protesters (aka Islamic mercenaries & commumist killers) by the Shah’s army...(though no internet at the time, but picked up, published in newspapers & constantly televised by BBC)...no objections or investigations by the BBC... what a surprise for BBC ‘to come clean’ some 35 yrs later in a slightly different part of the world. BBC always has its agenda & yes it’s usually a leftist one.
