"Jenin, Jenin" was Propaganda, Propaganda. From WND, with thanks to Gabrielle Goldwater:
A Palestinian filmmaker who produced a documentary alleging Israeli troops committed war crimes in a refugee camp admitted in a deposition last week to falsifying scenes, using inaccurate information and obtaining financing for the project from the Palestinian Authority, WorldNetDaily has learned.Muhammad Bakri, producer of "Jenin, Jenin," a documentary that claims Israel committed genocide in the Jenin refugee camp in April 2002, admitted in a deposition to inaccuracies throughout his film. The filmmaker is being sued by five Israeli soldiers visible in still footage in the film, which alleges IDF troops killed a "large number" of civilians, mutilated Palestinian bodies, randomly executed and bombed women, children and the mentally and physically impaired, and leveled the entire refugee camp, including a wing of the local hospital.
The documentary doesn't show footage of the alleged atrocities, but in some scenes, faces of the soldiers now suing Bakri were superimposed over "eyewitness testimony," and it was indicated they had committed "war crimes."
But Bakri, in a deposition obtained by WND, admitted he "believed" selected witnesses but didn't check the information they provided.
"I believed the things that I've been told. What I did not believe was not included in the film," said Bakri.
When asked about a scene in which it is implied Israeli troops ran over civilians, Bakri admitted to constructing the footage himself as an "artistic choice." He also answered "no" when asked if he believed "that during the operation in Jenin, the Israeli soldiers killed people indiscriminately."
In perhaps the most explosive element of the deposition, Bakri admitted his documentary, which was screened in theaters around the world, was financed in part by the Palestinian Authority. He said Yasser Abed Rabu, Palestinian minister of culture and information and a member of former PLO leader Yasser Arafat's executive committee, "covered a part of the film expenses."
Just what the world needs...more muslim michal moors (intentional mispelling)
Just what this site needs... another lib'rulhater.
I hope Bakri gets what's coming to him. I hope that he can be tried for inciting murder against Jews everywhere the Jihadis used his propaganda pack of lies.
I dont hate liberals ,I myself am quit libral in my veiws .Except where it comes to foriegn policy.
I HATE the LIES!
Propaganda like this only makes the 2011 planetary disaster more certain.
Taking a mulish of elephantine stance here does nothing to further the worthy and right work that Robet and Hugh have bravely undertaken .
So in the future let us keep our snidely Rightist/leftist jibes off of these boards ,Thankyou.
In that spirit I retact my Micalmoor statement ,
So again .>
Sigh, Just what we need..... MORE insanely slanted pro palastinian lies!
This does nothing to prevent the eradication of millions of innocent people in the disputed sector known today (briefly) as Israel /Palastine......
This kind of purposefull misleading thru mass media will only hasten the nukes upon thier way from islam to finally eradicate the jewish nation from the face of the planet.

Please let me know if you've seen my last message to you on the DW "Terrorists' Leftist . . " thread by responding on that thread.
Thanks.
Average, there is a primary difference between Moore and this guy- Moore wasn't paid by the Democrats. So far as we know.
But do notice how quickly kj leapt upon that. He suspends belief and supports his side each time, Every time, no matter how outrageous their lies, bigotry or racism, and labels with impunity.
What's going on here? A Palestinian named Muhammad casting dispersions on Jews? There's a shocker.

Michael Moore was paid by Hesbullah to distibute his film in the pal territoties.
And the Al Dura film was also a PAL/France 2 collaboration.
George~ I'd forgotten that. So it Does tie together. Not that the msm, leftist academia or politicians will ever take notice...
Ha ha ha! ROFLMAO! One of my liberal friends at work invited me to a screening of this film in Cambridge, MA a couple of years ago (she was just yanking my chain since she knew I was a conservative Bush supporter). When she told me what it was about and the moonbat group of her friends (primarily liberal European yuppie expats) that was going to see it I declined and made a joke about it probably being recruiting/propaganda piece for Hamas. I told her I hoped she and all her comrades enjoyed it. I guess I wasn't too far off.
Everybody, When I was part of the anti-Israeli faction, I was invited to see "Jenin, Jenin". It's interesting to see that it was a lie. There are over a 1,000,000 Muslims in Israel. The Jewish State pratices religious freedom. Soon there will be 4 democracies in the Middle East: Israel, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Freedom is on the march. RSH
