I was recently appalled by the footage of the alleged artillery attack on “innocent Palestinians picnicking on a beach in Gaza.” From the very start of the video it was quite apparent that the whole thing was staged. There were no visible signs of blood and body parts along the beach as described in your reports. The girl, whose parents were killed, did a wonderful job of acting despondent; that was until after she was told she wasn’t needed anymore and was clearly seen casually walking away from her “dead” mother and father. Also, the emergency personnel did a great job only running when the camera was on them. As you could clearly see them walking around quite casually until they realized they were being filmed. In addition at the end of this video of alleged carnage, the dead father actually gets up!! You’ve got to be kidding me!! He turns over and gets up just seconds after you’re intrepid instigator, uh I mean reporter, reports his horrific death.
It is a grievous and heinous act to misrepresent the truth as you’re news agency has done. CNN does not deserve any credibility and does not deserve to exist in my country. CNN has too often made efforts to construct news, and this time they have gone way to far over the line. I sincerely wish for the demise of your organization.
Whoa! Great post. thanks.
What were they doing? Recreating the shelling with a staged version?
As you can see, I am seeing red right now when it comes to those leftist sedicious bastards that call themselves reporters.
I agree...there is something suspect and staged about it...and at the end of the video....one male laying down suddenly appears to get up and then it goes black.....AND....the little girl runs off camera away from the scene....very odd indeed!!!!
She didn't run off camera, she casually walked off. Oh, and she wasn't escoreted by any well meaning supportive Palestinian either. She just strolled off the "set".
The shooting is guerilla style camerawork done in so many of the Ali-Baba TV clips.....and how lucky was that.....a camera there right after the 'explosion'.....and why was everything else in the area 'ok'....there were some beach shrubs looking perfectly healthy after the attack....

Thanks! That "dead" father must have thought he heard "cut"!
CNN showed this today?????
Yes it is.
Ah, yes, and where were all those body parts CNN so vigerously extolled? guess the sandcrabs already got their fill before the cameraman got there, LOL.
No, I think the guy that gets up is lying next to the body. The Red Crescent workers seem to be pointing at a body-sized bundle next to him wrapped in what looks like an army blanket or something. That's what the little girl was throwing herself on earlier.
No, you obviously didn't hear the reporter. She said the little girls mother and father were both killed. Just seconds before he got up. Also, the little girl did linger over her "mother" longer but did in fact go to the body of her "father" as well. That was just before being excused from the scene by the director so the Red Crescent workers could casually walk up, just before the "father" miraculously came back to life.
In addition, if you look closely at the video, you will not see one iota of evidence to suggest an artillery blast strong enough to have "blown people apart" as CNN reported. Such a blast would have left obvious burn marks on the sand as well as a very large crater, both of which were inexcusibly absent in the footage. Please also explain the emergency workers casual attitude until they relized they were "in scene" and were qued to "react" by running.
The whole video is bogus. It is outright and obvious. If you are not aware of it please go to the original post on the subject; the link is provided in on of the earlier replies in this post. There is a picture of a mortar that is obviously off target, taken from the IDF boat. There are absolutely no bodies on the beach in that picture. Another oddity that sheds a great deal of doubt on CNN and the Pali's story.
Fake but accuarate.
I'm sorry, I'm just not seeing the same thing you're seeing. I'm seeing a wrapped up bundle in dark green that looks like it must be the body. The guy who gets up is in a white shirt. He isn't there when the little girl is intially throwing herself on the green bundled up body. He's someone else. Do you really think CNN would be so clumsy as to not cut the film in time? They've been lying for years. They are better at it than that.
No, but the video does have "Courtesy of Ramatta TV" strip across the bottom at the beginning of the clip. Video shot by Palies, edited by Palies, and given a much wider audience by CNN, famous for it's accuracy in such "stories" as "Tailwind". Also the current Marines in Haditha "story". Yep lots of credibility there. NOT!
