Discover the extent, audacity, and relentlessness of the Palestinian victimhood propaganda machine in The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process.
“The Freezing Kid of Gaza,” by David Lange, Israelly Cool, January 22, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
An Israel hater posted this at the end of December last year (hat tip: Maks)
Since it did not come close to snowing in Israel in December, a rat was certainly within range of my nostrils. And sure enough, it never got lower than 6 degrees Celcius [sic] in Gaza over that time period.
A reverse image search indicates the photo was first detected online in 2008….In any event, the photo is not from Gaza in December 2019, as the Israel hater would have us all believe.
As a side note, if there was a kid out in the freezing cold and you walk by, do you:
a) Immediately give them some clothing or take them to a warm place; or
b) Take a photo of them
Update: This indicates the photo is from Kabul in 2006 (hat tip: Jackie).

I find that islam and truth have a difficult relationship. I guess it has to do with it being the idea of child rapist, who somehow at the same time is not a pedophile.

Reply to RichardL : ‘Truth’??? This is PHOTOSHOP JIHAD … using mislabeled photos to misdirect the narrative … Islamic Melodrama 101.
– “Taqiyya permeates almost all the activities and dealings of Muslims with non-Muslim societies…” – former sheikh Sam Solomon
“Taqiyya is of fundamental importance in Islam. Practically every Islamic sect agrees to it and practices it … We can go so far as to say that the practice of taqiyya is mainstream in Islam, and that those few sects not practicing it diverge from the mainstream … Taqiyya is very prevalent in Islamic politics, especially in the modern era.” – Sami Mukaram, At-Taqiyya fi ‘l-Islam (London: Mu’assisat at-Turath ad-Druzi, 2004)
-“Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and LYING, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by LYING, but NOT telling the truth, IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO LIE if attaining the goal is PERMISSIBLE … and OBLIGATORY TO LIE if the goal is obligatory.” source: Abu Hammid Ghazali

mortimer,
I’ve always found it easier to tell the truth – than to try to keep all the lies straight…
Wellington says
Indeed, James. As Mark Twain observed, if you’re going to be a good liar you have to have a good memory.
Lauren Hermann says
A good saying to take to heart:
“What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. “
Westman says
Islamic Memory – Memory so good it remembers things that never happened…
mortimer says
Huh? Pallies using foreign pictures for their own propaganda? What? Again?
Someone could make an entire PHOTO ALBUM of horrifying pictures misused by the Pally propagandists. They seem to do this at least once a month. There must by one or two HUNDRED such mislabelled PALLY propaganda photos now, and that’s not including the faked deaths of some Pally ‘victims’ who miraculously started breathing and moving while the cameras were running. Oops.
nicu says
exactly Mortimer !
keith says
This tactic of using fake pics to influence the public is nothing new. The first example I herd about was done by the Viet Cong.
Even western politicians have been despicable enough to use this method. If you want a good example, watch the movie “Wag The Dog”.
Now of course any low life can photo shop a massacre, an air crash, or anything they want and the sheeple blindly believe the story that’s being spoon fed to them.
Thankfully, there are people, good thinking people who are prepared to act as the sheep dogs.
gravenimage says
Of course, “Wag the Dog” was actually a work of fiction, not a documentary.
keith says
Yes, and how often does Hollywood mimic reality?
I did say “movie” and not documentary!!!
libertyORdeath says
Id love to see you put it together mortimer, it would be interesting for sure
nicu says
Not the first time Muslims try to cheat and lie to get attention and even compassion ! I remember a guy from Syria who talked about ” torture ” by Assad : they way he talked he NEVER was tortured ! and if you tell them your toenails were torn out : don’t wear sandals ! they are great in making up stories for their benefits !
gravenimage says
Photo claimed to be of kid freezing in Gaza in December is actually from Afghanistan in 2006
………………..
More “Pallywood”–and damn hamfisted, as well. Given that the temperature even at night even in the dead of winter there is rarely lower than the high 40s–and in the 70s during the day–this image being in Gaza is obviously absurd.
The last time there was a significant snowfall in Israel was in 1950–seventy years ago. It was treated as a novelty, because it was. This was part of a cold wave that affected the entire northern hemisphere. There was also a dusting of snow in some places in 2013.
And this was mostly at higher elevations–which Gaza is entirely lacking.
Wellington says
Fine specifics, gravemimage. Thanks.
gravenimage says
Thank you, Wellington.
The very first story I ever commented on here at Jihad Watch–way back in 2006–was about another bit of “Pallywood”.
This was a very artificial looking and obviously staged picture of a “Palestinian” extravagantly mourning over a dead comrade–and in the longer video the “dead guy” then gets up and walks around. What a lot of readers did not know was that this picture was based on a Renaissance painting of the dead Christ.
I doubt that many Muslims know much about art–but it is telling that some who did used it to try to gin up sympathy over fake dead Mohammedans supposedly killed by the ‘evil Jews’.
Wellington says
Truth is optional with all totalitarian ideologies, whether Islam, Nazism, fascism in general, Communism, and the latest “totalitarian installment,” i.e., Western Leftism.
Only free societies suffused in the aggregate with moral intelligence and an enlightened legal system are rooted in the quest for truth. No others are.
James Lincoln says
Excellent insight, Wellington.
Rolf Wittwer says
Just another of endless many tips of an “Is-lam-berg”.
Giacomo Latta says
I don’t detect any of the palaces belonging to the upper crust of the Hamas Authority in the background so it can’t be Gaza.
AntiIslamicman says
Islam lives to play the victim by any means that can. Just remember that this sick ideology is an aggressive force, it’s been like that since Muhammad invented this cult.
