“Palestinian” “journalist” takes random baby photo from Instagram, claims baby was killed by Israel

Aug 9, 2018 12:35 pm By Robert Spencer

Look at this girl! How could we do such a… wait… it’s a random picture of a girl they took from Instagram. pic.twitter.com/ba0REIw23O

Abdullah Alsaafin, who describes himself on Twitter as a “journalist and media trainer,” tweeted this this morning:

This baby, Bayan abu khamash, 2 years old, was killed last night along with her pregnant mother when an Israeli rocket hit their house in Gaza Strip town of Der elbalah pic.twitter.com/9czMLbSIuq

— Abdullah Alsaafin (@a_alsaafin) August 9, 2018

There’s just one problem. This picture was taken from Instagram. It is not of a “Palestinian” girl. The girl is not in Gaza, and is still alive. Her name is not Bayan abu khamash, it is Elle McBroom:

This has happened innumerable times in the past. This is how “Palestinian” grievance propaganda in service of the jihad is created.

    Abdullah probably believes he will be gifted by Allahoochikoo with an extra houri-hotti-totti in Paradise for that stunt. So why would he hesitate to use a little kafir girl’s picture in the cause of serving Allah in the jihad to destroy the Jews and achieve dominance over the world?

    Meanwhile, back in Marxachusetts, the leftist BDS-supporting students at Brandeis are probably eating this up and planning their next protest…

      So has someone alerted papers that print this that its 1st class Fake News. Ask them to run an apology for printing anti-Semitic propaganda. Seriously. This kind of thing is like out wild fires and can do so much damage.

      People in this day and time tend to take things for granted without investigating. Thank God that Robert does INVESTIGATE…but to get those who reported wrongly to refute is almost impossible. This supposedly journalist is just “part” of THE PROBLEM and there are plenty if “parts” out there doing everything in their power to put a good light on the unlawful country, Palestine, unlawful because God gave Palestine to the Jews, and no earthly entity has the right to vivre it to anyone but the Jews

    Fakestinians fake death too.

    Since the founding of Israel, Jordan’s leaders have claimed that Palestine is Jordan and that Jordan is Palestine.

    The division of the TWO STATES occurred in 1920.

    The current queen of Jordan is an Arab ‘Palestinian’.
    * Approximately half of Jordan’s prime ministers since 1950 have been Arab ‘Palestinians’.
    * More than 2/3 of the Jordanian people are Arab ‘Palestinians’.
    * The majority of citizens residing in the capital of Amman are Arab ‘Palestinians’.
    * Arab ‘Palestinians’ constitute not less than one half of the members of the armed forces, according to the late King Hussein, as broadcast on Amman Radio February 3, 1973.
    * The majority of other security forces are Arab ‘Palestinians’.
    * Jordan occupies 77% of the original Palestine Mandate (originally promised to the Jewish people). The population density of Jordan is less than 61 people per square mile leaving lots of room to absorb many more of their brethren and cousins.

    I doubt “random” is accurate. What I mean, is by the actual definition of random; plus the person who chose the photo must of had criteria for a suitable photo for the purpose. The ONLY reason I take the time to explain this is that the misuse of “random” is one of a long list of misused terms, and their respective concepts, in U.S. of A., if not other English-speaking nations, I not knowing one way or another about these other nations.

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Aug 9, 2018 at 4:44 pm

      Indeed, the list of misused terms is long. Another serious abuse of English is committed by those who say, eg, ‘must of had’ instead of ‘must have had’.

        I particularly dislike “Get ahold”. I do not believe “Ahold,” is a word. And I know that the period goes inside the quotation marks, but my computer does that.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 9, 2018 at 8:22 pm

      It was pretty damn random. The only criteria is that she look plausibly Arab (she could also be of Greek, Italian, or even Jewish heritage–or something else altogether).

      This is only not random in that they probably would not have picked a blond, Asian, or African-American child. Apart from that, picking an image from an American birthday greeting posted online really is pretty random.

      And scherado and Stella, I have worked as a proofreader and editor, and am a stickler for proper English usage.

    By the way, the very first story I ever commented on at Jihad Watch–way back in 2006–was on a story of a fake “Palestinian” death pose with a mourner (in later footage the “victim” got up and went to another spot to lie down).

    I recognized the pose because I have a degree in art history and knew the pose as inspired by Michelangelo’s Pieta.

    Now all these years later, I am no longer shocked by ugly “Pallywood” fakery–just that any of these Muslim thugs knew what the Pieta was.

  17. gravenimage says

    Aug 9, 2018 at 8:44 pm

    Oh, hey–they’re still at it:

    “#Pallywood: The Gaza Pieta”

    http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2018/05/pallywood-gaza-pieta.html

    Of course, this is as likely to have been inspired by a comic book cover inspired by the Pieta as by the Pieta itself.

    Yeah, I know it was sarcasm and I was pulling the pud as well.

    In India too, Muslims float some of the most ridiculous rumors against Hindus and Hindu leaders… and get caught out. They come to chat / comments forums and post their anti-Hindu vitriol using Christian or even Hindu names knowing very well that if they post their vomit under their real Mohmedan names, NO ONE WILL TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY..

    Al Jazeera once used a still shot from a popular Bollywood action movie to depict “gravely injured palestinians” in Israeli airstrikes. The gullible public lapped it up until the deception was discovered.

    If she had died it would have been a mercy. She would have been spared having her genitals mutilated if they weren’t already and spared wearing a tent in extreme heat and being a bride at 9, possibly dying in childbirth, or face Incontenance for life due to giving birth too young and thrown out, or being beaten for the rest of her short life.

    Never noticed this on the 6 o’clock news. But then again show me a Palestinian who has not used some kind of taqqiya. So therefore Western media can rightfully make the statement that it is not news.
