France 2 – oops again

Posted on 01/07/2009 by SnoopyTheGoon

In another time and another place this would have caused me a few whoops of laughter:

French public television network France 2 on Tuesday revealed they had aired photographs that allegedly showed destruction caused by the Israel Air Force during Operation Cast Lead, which were in fact taken during a different incident in 2005, one in which Gaza civilians were killed by an explosion caused by militants in the Strip.

The footage aired on Channel 2 on Tuesday afternoon showed dozens of dead bodies, including Hamas gunmen and citizens, which the channel said were killed by an IAF bombing raid on January 1st. It later came to light that the channel had instead aired footage of the devastation caused after a truck full of explosives blew up in the Jabaliya Refugee Camp.

Not any more. To hell with them.

    Hey, at least they didn’t accidently show video of the riots in the Muslem ghettos of Paris…

    Any moment now France 2 will be issuing its apology, and issuing it in a manner equivalent to the lie they foisted on their viewership…stand back, it could happen at any time.

    Now that ground forces are in Gaza they can also recycle the al-Dura hoax film. Don’t you realize that recycling is a virtue?
