Exposed: The Self-Inflicted Hamas 'Massacre' Blamed By The Media On Israel
2014-08-03
[Breitbart] An enterprising blogger's diligent spadework has revealed the truth behind an Israeli 'massacre' that never was. (H/T Jonathan Foreman)

According to the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, version of events - widely promulgated in the media by ITN, the Telegraph and the Belfast Telegraph - an Israeli Arclight airstrike on a crowded market place during a partial ceasefire in the Shijaiyah neighbourhood of Gazoo City on July 30th, 2014 was responsible for the deaths of 17 people, including blue-helmeted photojournalist Rani Rayan.

However as Thomas Wictor has incontrovertibly demonstrated using close analysis of film footage of the incident, the deaths were not caused by Israeli shrapnel but by secondary kabooms from a vast cache of Hamas rockets.

Oh, and the market wasn't 'crowded' either: it had been closed for the day. And this particular area wasn't included in the ceasefire zone, either, because Hamas was continuing to fire rockets from it.

This report implies that it was the ten Israeli shells which killed the 17 Paleostinians. It was not. As Wictor demonstrates, it was a "Pallywood" propaganda stunt which went badly wrong:

That burning warehouse was full of Hamas rockets. The series of concussions you hear are secondary kabooms, not the primary kabooms of aerial munitions. When you bomb a warehouse full of fueled rockets, each rocket will explode separately. What happened was the empty marketplace next to the burning warehouse became the set for a Pallywood production, but then the rockets started exploding, killing and maiming the people who tried to exploit this situation. I know they're secondary kabooms because they're causing no destruction. No fountains of earth or clouds of dust appear with each loud BOOM! And the Paleostinians also sent out a photo of a damaged rocket cone, calling it an "unwent kaboom! Israeli missile."

#3  Stop buying their sponsor's products - and then tell the sponsor why.

Include copies of any receipt's you may have from purchasing their competitor's products for extra points.

Eventually they will get the message.

#2  Stop watching and reading. The ad revenue will dry up and they will have to change or go out of business.

#1  The problem is, once again, how do we hold the MSM accountable? How do they get punishied for lying?
