Stage-Managed Massacre
Front Page Magazine ^ | 02 August 2006 | Robert Spencer

“The Israeli air strike on the Lebanese village of Qana early Sunday morning did more than kill 57 civilians,” says Jefferson Morley in the Washington Post. “According to a wide range of commentary in the international media, it inflamed already boiling public opinion in the Arab world against Israel, undermined what little support the United States has among the Lebanese people, and illuminated the continuing inability of Israel and the United States to achieve their goal of decisively weakening Hezbollah.” The Hindustan Times editorialized that “with Qana, one senses that the Israelis’ definition of ‘collateral damage’ has started to bear a striking resemblance to that of the very terrorist organisation that they are keen to destroy.” At a rally outside the State Department building protesting the Qana “massacre” on Monday, Leftist protestors chanted, “Hey, Rice! What do you say? How many kids have you killed today?”; “Israel Out of Lebanon! Ceasefire, Now”; and “Shame! Shame! Shame, on you!” An Australian Muslim in Qana told Australia’s Herald Sun: “I would say a few hundred have died. This isn’t war, it’s genocide.”

Except for one little detail: it is increasingly clear that the Qana “massacre” was a stage-managed Hizballah production, designed precisely to enflame international sentiment against Israel and compel the Israelis to accept a ceasefire that would enable the jihad terrorist group to gain some time to recover from the Israeli attacks. Some of the principal evidence for this:

For me, the tapes and pictures have verified the scam. I, and others here, saw with our own eyes Fox's Greg Palkot's video of Qana where the "rescuers" who supposedly been digging through the rubble with their hands had on very clean clothes and sparkling white gloves. The tapes also showed two men "victims" carried around on stretchers who didn't have a drop of blood on them. As the camera was cutting off or panning away, one of the "victims" raised his head as if to get up and the other one hopped off the stretcher and walked away. This second "victim" was shown, in what I like to call 'take two', in a different location again getting off a stretcher and walking off alive and well. This guy also had his shirt half ripped off his back, but not a scratch or any bloody wound to be seen.

Why Israel isn't shouting this on the roof tops is beyond me. Why Fox has allowed this is despicable.

"As I replied to someone else, BOR has said that the truth doesn't matter, at least as far as the propaganda value goes."

Sadly only too true.

Michelle Malkin has a great piece on this. Especially, the arab gentleman who always seems to show up at these "massacres", with a dead child in hand.

EU Referendum has also uncovered strange anomalies in the photos themselves: some workers are wearing different gear in different photos, yet clearly carrying the same corpse. Richard North comments about one of these workers: “It stretches belief to breaking point to argue that, on his way to the ambulance, he took off his helmet, his fluorescent waistcoat and his flack jacket just in order to pose for the cameras putting the body in the wagon – especially as we have the body being placed on the ‘guerney’

Just pathetic. Hizbullah is truly eveil, and their key enablers are the lame brain media.

Rush mentioned it yesterday and will probably cover it more today. He's also placed links on his website to the series of photos showing it was a setup. He's on to it big time.

This is a good summary of most of the pieces out there. It just doesn't cover the banner story.

Frontpage mag is good, tho. Too bad for the Brits if they don't believe it.

Truth is a Christian value, not a universal one. It is definitely not a value in the Arab world, but duplicity is.

I get Frontpage emailed to me and find it very good indeed. I have no doubt other Brits feel the same. But on a conservative forum, when I posted an article form it it was dismissed as neo-con propaganda.

Not all, but most conservative Brits see things very differently.

I can hardly find a home here. I'm going to try EU Referendum shortly. 'Freebritania & Sterling Times' (one site) is good but they have too many options and so the debate is slow.

Anyone who dismisses FrontPage as "neo-con" is obviously coming from a leftist slant. The liberals hate David Horowitz because he was once one of them and now exposes all of their tricks and tactics. So what is their defintion of conservative?

I have taken the same journey as Horowitz and love his work. I started on the radical left. A few years ago I sat with a friend over a pint of beer and he said to me "you know all the things we fought for have turned out to be wrong"

Example standing ovation for Mugabe the hero of Rhodesia!

So now I lurk on FR because UK conservatism finds me a bit too 'extreme' in my views. On FR I look a bit liberal compared to some, but I find the company very good.

You have to understand conservatism in the UK is very different from the States. Margaret Thatcher for instance is better loved over there than at home. Neo-con is pretty much a dirty word in most circles, not just left, luvvie, liberal.
