Qana - the director's cut

EU Referendum ^ | 8/5/2006 | EU Referendum

I have called this post, "the director's cut", as that is what it is. The narrative here is of how the combination of Hezbollah's media management and modern photo-journalism has turned the recording of a tragic event into theatre, in the best tradition of Michael Moore.

As best we can, we have pieced together the jumble of evidence which surrounded the production of the iconic photographs which were published around the world, and put them in perspective. Many of the photographs have been used before, some are new to this site and others are video "grabs". But it is not the pictures, per se, that tell the story, so much as their ordering and analysis. Make of this what you will, but I can assure you that you are not supposed to see them in this light.

The "story" - for that is what it is - starts here, in the wreckage of the buiding at Qana which is performing the temporary and unwholesome function of a morgue. It is from here, that the bodies are extracted, the essential props of this theatre. And standing on the left of the frame is one of the two star characters of our story, Mr "White Tee-Shirt". With equal accuracy, though, we could call him Mr Hezbollah, for reasons which will become apparent.

Read the entire story with the pics at the link provided. This entire business was a Hizbullah Hollywood production from start to end. And the drive-by's were eager to lap it all up to advance their anti-Isreal agenda. No questions asked.

The whole thing smelled like a big fake from the first announcement of this claim. This one is exactly the kind of fake "massacre" that Yassir Arafat's thugs claimed in spring of 1992 when Israel entered Jenin to pursue terrorist strongholds. About the same time they found Arafat's computer with proof positive that Arafat himself had directed the homicide bombings against Israeli civilians and that he had paid the families tens of thousand of dollars after their relative blew himself up and killed Israel men, women, teens, and children. Claiming a "massacre" that later turned out not to have been a "massacre" at all was in the case of Jenin and in this current distortion of reality the terrorists' way of diverting attention from their crimes against humanity.

Thanks to EU Referendum their criminals acts have been exposed....BUT...our lefty media will never cover this story.

Although Richmond correctly criticizes North's erroneous speculation about obscured writing on White Tee-shirt Guy's shirt North does a brilliant job of piecing together the propaganda story behind the MSM's authorized story. This picture says it all:

Qana - the director's cut

. . .

Now the strategy becomes clear. Round the corner and on top of the rise formed by "Stretcher Alley" is the "fiercely competitive" media, coralled like sheep in a pen, waiting for the next photo-opportunity to be presented to them. And Hezbollah is about to lay on the performance of a lifetime, a human interest story starring "Green Helmet and "White Tee-shirt" in a bravura display of raw emotion.
