| Foreign Journalists Use Israeli Children To Demonize Israel In Set-Up Photo |
| 2006-07-20 |
| ...OK, get the picture? It shows Israeli children at the northern border town of Kiryat Shmona gleefully scribbling target hate messages aimed at Hizbollah and the Lebanese on missiles destined for firing into Lebanon... ...But Israeli blogger Lisa got the story behind the picture from the photographer who took the shot and confirmed it with another journalist who was present. And guess what, it was a set-up by foreign journalists. This is an extract from the online conversation with Lisa about what she found, which the Sandmonkey posted: ...kids were in bomb shelters for days. city is a ghost town...only poor people stayed...a new army unit arrived, kids were bored, went out with parents to look...there were TWELVE photographers there and they egged the kids on...the kids are low class, not educated, have never met a Lebanese, just want to live their lives, don't understand why Lebanon attacked their home, etc... ...make sense? |

| #1 Lisa is being a little over-sensitive. If it's OK for Hezbollah kids to show up with bomb belts, it's perfectly fine for Israeli kids to scribble messages to the other side. This passage just reeks of Lisa's hyper-sensitivity: a big problem is that the israeli tv does not show dead Lebanese. it shows destroyed buildings, but not dead bodies. so no one has a face of the dead in their minds. too aware of our own suffering, etc... My view is that Israeli TV isn't showing these pictures in order to deprive its viewers of the opportunity to gloat. Which is what I would do if I saw them. I'd want to see rivers of blood on the other side's streets. |
