But the Israeli army has film immediately before and after which indicates that 5 of the 6 grenades they fired landed 250 meters away. What happened to the 6th? The Palestinians claimed it hit the family; the Israelis claim that it was lost and "impossible" that it hit the family. As additional evidence, they say that metal shards taken from the victims are of a sort which could not have come from the Israeli armament. In the face of contradictory evidence, the original pictures take on a greater importance. Upon closer examination they are fishy for a number of reasons. The photographer's story doesn't quite add up. The more the Sueddeutsche Zeitung asked him questions the dodgier he became. Why don't the Palestinian authorities bring forth the shards to prove their case? Why is the news-agency responsible for the pictures suddenly grasping its rights firmly, instead of allowing the widest dissemination?<BR/>--MeaninglessHotAirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11767916621253839341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1150673521803685112006-06-18T17:32:00.000-06:002006-06-18T17:32:00.000-06:00How many are BUILT there--outside of Israel, that ...How many are BUILT there--outside of Israel, that is?<BR/><BR/>Funny, if the Palis would just stop firing those Kassam missiles into Israeli villages, then they wouldn't need so many videocams.buddy larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760847873026506988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1150669348099415492006-06-18T16:22:00.000-06:002006-06-18T16:22:00.000-06:00How many video cameras per capita are there in the...How many video cameras per capita are there in the Middle East anyway?terryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609746018265953069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1150662708785448392006-06-18T14:31:00.000-06:002006-06-18T14:31:00.000-06:00I wondered about that clip as it played across the...I wondered about that clip as it played across the networks. There were at least two changed camera angles, meaning the child's hysteria peaked for an extended duration, during which the cameraman made several moves and re-setups. I couldn't help but think of the highly-suspect "Israeli crossfire" incident at the front of the Second Intifada, with the kid and dad "shown" trapped near a street corner and getting shot up.buddy larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760847873026506988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1150659236356755642006-06-18T13:33:00.000-06:002006-06-18T13:33:00.000-06:00A translation of the article will be interesting. ...A translation of the article will be interesting.
