Great news from Paris, where the appeal court has today thrown out the libel action against Philippe Karsenty brought by the France 2 TV station for claiming that the killing by the Israelis of the Palestinian child Mohammed al Dura, the iconic images of which France 2 transmitted and which incited the second intifada and countless jihadi murders around the world, was a staged and fabricated event and that the child was not killed at all. I have written about this civilisational scandal here and on several other occasions.
This was a blood libel which gave modern life to the ancient calumny that the Jews murder children, and which itself directly led to the murder of countless innocents. I shall be writing much more about this, particularly for the second issue of the new magazine Standpoint which launches next week.
