AFP video report alleges that Gaza has been deliberately flooded by Israel - despite the fact Israel has no dams in the south.
Agence France Presse (AFP) has been caught publishing a blatant lie against Israel after similar cases in the past, posting a video this week claiming "Gaza village floods after Israel opens dam gates," in a claim of deliberate flooding disproved by the fact that Israel has no dams in the south.
In the video a resident of Gaza, Ead Zino from Al-Maghraqa, claims "every four years there is a war but here in Maghraqa every year there is a flood. This water comes from Israel. This is political. All Israel wants is to destroy us."
No Israeli source was brought into the report to refute the blatant lie.
CAMERA spoke with a spokesperson for the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), who clarified "the claim is entirely false, and southern Israel does not have any dams. Due to the recent rain, streams were flooded throughout the region with no connection to actions taken by the State of Israel."

Was it a Shape Shifting Dam?
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. We’re thirsting the Palestinians. Didn’t you read your pamphlet? If we drown them, that would be the exact opposite of thirsting. There was a sewer or two that flooded when the sewage noticed that all the pipes had been used for making missiles. But we don’t give a dam about flooding them.
