“War is deceit,” said Muhammad, and the “Palestinians” have turned deceit into an art form, with willing help from the international media.
“Coverage of Gaza Amputee’s Death Showed UK Media at Its Worst,” by Aron White, Algemeiner, December 27, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
There’s been much media attention given to the death of Ibrahim Abu Thuraya at the Gaza border, during violent Palestinian protests earlier this month. But very serious questions have been raised about the story.
Media outlets that reported the story should have been more careful in their initial reporting, and should now issue retractions and apologies in light of the new evidence that has come to light.
There were two central parts of the story that have now been seriously called into question.
It was originally reported that:
a) Abu Thuraya was a Palestinian fisherman, who lost his legs in an Israeli air strike during Operation Cast Lead in 2008.
b) Abu Thuraya was shot in the head and killed by the IDF on December 15, in a “shocking and wanton act.”
But facts have now emerged that seriously challenge both of these assertions.
Abu Thuraya was, in fact, a terrorist — and he injured his legs in that context. Initially, Abu Thuraya was a militant in Fatah’s Force 17 commando unit, and he was shot three times in the leg in 2005 by Hamas fighters — during the inter-Palestinian fighting between Fatah and Hamas. (This was reported by none other than The Independent, in 2005).
Moreover, there are also now serious questions as to what actually happened on December 15, 2017.
The initial IDF report last week said that the military found no evidence that live fire had been directed at Abu Thuraya. The IDF investigation also found that there were no moral or professional failures on the part of the IDF. This IDF claim was repeated on Saturday by Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, who stated that there is “no basis” that Abu Thuraya was shot by an IDF sniper.
Given the IDF statement, and the fact that the Hamas Health Ministry refused to cooperate with the IDF investigation, media reports that Abu Thuraya was killed by an IDF sniper are based entirely on unsubstantiated Hamas claims.
Indeed, the source of the initial accusation that the IDF shot and killed Abu Thuraya was presented in the Guardian as a statement from “Gazan medical officials.” This obfuscates the fact that those officials work for the Hamas government. In sum: the IDF was accused by members of a designated terrorist organisation sworn to the destruction of Israel, not some objective bystanders. Such a claim should never have been taken at face value, or — at the very least — it should have been presented as a claim, not a fact.
When ISIS controlled Raqqa, if the ISIS Health Ministry had accused the coalition of civilian casualties, would this accusation be quoted as fact, coming from “Iraqi medical officials”?…

Well folks, two videos.
An Egyptian speaking, TV Caster, something like that, I dropped my jaw! This guy actually tells the M’s that we have every reason to hate them, and that they have achieved and produced nothing. In their entire history. And he goes on and on – incredible.

And… Nazi, Nazi, Nazi – this time it’s the Poles. Oh dear. By an English blogger. I knew “our” press/media here in the UK is total crap, just like the German, the Swedish, the French etc. ones. Total crap? So I thought. That term is actually complimentary. The video is both, enjoyable and off putting. By off putting I am referring to what the media is presenting/representing, not the blogger.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say: ***Off Topic***. But then, I usually am, more often than not.
Have a good 2018, all of you!

I don’t believe this “Falestinian” nonsense. But let’s hypothesize that it was true — his “country” is launching missiles at a sovereign nation (Israel). Israel has every right to defend herself. The IDF goes through great lengths to avoid civilian casualties but they do happen.
The answer is simple: Stop launching rockets at Israel, period.
I wish the IDF would just level Gaza and turn it into a nice beach resort under Jewish control.

If the international media is so concerned about their so-called innocent why don’t they establish themselves as human shields in these troubled areas? Certainly they could make a difference and I for one would love to watch the drama unfold. Cmon international media, don’t take the cowards way out and just write about it from a distance, put on your big boy pants and get out there! Waiting.

If he was anything like Abu Salih al-Amriki….
Then he should have stayed at home.

Liars, damn liars, and Palestinians…

The true story is probably that he was a double amputee because he broke some stupid Islamic law and out of mercy they only cut off his legs!

As the Muslim Brotherhood Explanatory Memorandum says on Civilizational Jihad, “tear down their house with their hands and the hands of the believers”, the Guardian is doing its part to promote the Jihad by deceit.

International media claim that amputee was “killed by the IDF” turns out to be more “Palestinian” deception
………………………
Disgusting–but no surprise.
