STAGED Photo of Qana "Dead"
2006-08-08
Click on link and look carefully at the photos. Especially the last one. Hat tip: Roger Simon

July 30 photo, shot by the Associated Press's Lefteris Pitarakis, showing covered "bodies" after Qana strike.

Worst case of rigor I've ever seen.

[Mods - any way to make pics appear here?]

It also doesn't matter how long the bodies have been dead, but you must end each phrase with the obligitory, "mostly civillians an children"

don't forget to include the (tm thingie)

#6  He has his left knee straight up, and one of his arms ended up being pulled straight up, too. There are "before" pics of this guy that show him with his arm down, I think, which would lead me to believe he was killed recently. I don't know if rigor mortis can make a body change its position like that, but I think it can.

Yes, we do have to question every photo. Until the MSM start trumpeting that fact, many are guaranteed to fall victim to the terrorist propaganda machine, both here and abroad. But it is against their interests to do that, and you know what that means to a corrupt institution . . . .

#5  The guy was really dead. He seems to have been dead much longer than the 6Am or 1AM building collapse. An the uncovered bodies did not have visible crush injuries. Now stories are coming out the bodies were moved there for the press to photograph.

#4  Gorb - assuming the guy really is dead, he died in an odd position and stayed in that position until rigor set in, which takes quite a while.

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) we need to question every photo that comes out of the Mid-East. There are too many photos of dead children supposedly crushed in a collapsed building with no blood, abrasions, or even dust on them. Obviously blown-up buildings (can't tell if the bomb came from the IDF, was a "work accident," or was planted by the Hizzies) with one clean, new-looking stuffed animal right in the middle.

Until the MSM clean up their act, if they can - and start questioning the "media opportunities" set up by TERRORISTS who would gladly cut off some media heads if they were deemed no longer useful - I can't and won't trust them. And they brought that lack of trust on themselves.

Schade.

#3  From what I have seen about this photo, it is real. The guy was developing a case of rigor mortis. What I found was several photos from several angles at different times (if you go looking for it on the internet) and they all show the same position. This same picture showed up here within the last few days and has already been hashed out!

#2  Darrel, pics of Dresden et. al. won't mean anything. They know we (civilization) won't bother to defend ourselves if it means killing "too many" "innocent" people. So they crank up the propaganda, alongside a willing press, counting on their allies and fellow enemies of civilization to paralyze us.

#1  I really don't care how many body photos there are or whether the subjects are alive or dead. This is war and Israel is going to have to kill people, including some civilians in collateral damage. All these jihadis need to be beamed a steady stream of photos of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki to remind them that their stupid aggressive actions are not self-serving and that, so far, Israel is handling them with kid gloves. I just hope that, when the right moment comes, Israel will take off the kid gloves and deal with Iran. August 22nd would be good.
