"Yet the truth of what happened on Sept. 30, 2000, is critical to the way the world works, the way people behave. The pictures we were shown and the story we were told is true or false, not both. Enderlin, France 2 and the larger media establishment have an obligation to tell us which it is. Because lies can kill. Lies do kill. "
BUMP
A boy named Mohammed Dura did die in a Gaza hospital that fateful Sept. 30. His face doesn't match the face in the video.

What did happen? Chances are we will never know for sure. But Poller reports that outtakes she saw show phony battle scenes staged by Palestinians. Painstaking analysis done by students at the Israeli Military Academy found the same actors playing multiple roles: "The injured and dead jump up, dust themselves off, play at offensive combat."
Why does it not supprise me that the French HAD the evidence that it was faked but decided to air it anyway?
"The voice-over reports that the child is dead, yet the rest of the segment — which wasn't aired but survives — shows the child propping himself on an elbow, shading his eyes with his hands. Poller saw the tape."
The Israelis conslusively proved this was a lie with video footage and commentary posted on the Internet some time ago. I viewed it (sorry, I didot save the address.) They pretty much got the whole deception on tape. bGood to see the facts have at least percolated up to Commentary.
Hi.
I remember this video quite well. I was in Israel at the time. When I got back it was all over MSM and has been used in just about every documentary on the infitada and the relationship between Israel and Palestine.
This is an important story. The Israelis should blanket the media with this information.
