IsraelInsider: Hezbollywood? Evidence mounts that Qana collapse and deaths were staged
By Reuven Koret July 31, 2006
Sweetness & Light: Was The “Qana Massacre” Staged By Hezbollah? credits Israel Insider for the story.
EU Referendum: Milking it? July 31, 2006
EU Referendum's analysis in that post were of the photos including the time stamps. As best as I can tell, it was this post that got the MSM to respond and was was mentioned by Rush and linked to by his website.
A) Israel is a few hours ahead of GB.
B) It was the first site to suggest the photos were staged.
C) EU Referendum was wrong to think the timp stamps had any real meaning.
But I just thought you should give them some credit. It's no skin off my hinder.
I agree. I've updated it.
To all: Please ping me or freepmail me with anything that should be added
Update follows:
The Hajj trail
As best I can tell, it started with the folks at EU Referendum and israelinsider questioning the Qana photos (this was picked up by Rush and others last week) Here are the most relevant posts at israelinsider and EU Referendum. "Qana the directors cut" and The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" sort of sum it all up IMHO (see below)

Sam of course, knows this already.
You guys don't know the half of it... some of the kids were disabled, refrigerated bodies and mass grave dates (along with many columns reporting the lack of places to put the bodies), the smoke photos (cloning and leveling) have been outed, planes photoshops outed, outing Burka lady now (I was at a funeral since this a.m., just back... she should be outed by now).
By the way, Hajj was suspended then the first picture pulled (that's how they do it), then when others were outed (smoke and planes), they pulled all the photos... he should be fired by now. Don't know yet.
I think he's already been fired. That is, his contract with them has been cancelled.
Not only that, how come Green Helmet Guy isn't covered with cement dust himself?
Meanie.
When I opened it this time, I saw your photo, which by the way, I've seen many times and agree with your assessment 100%
I'm getting the same thumbnail. The image comes and goes. Since the covers have been pulled on the Qana "massacre", have you noticed how quickly it dropped out of the media radar. That ought to tell you about as much as anything the affair was staged.
I wounder if that child was dying and unconscience in some of the earlier photos?
Unbelievable
