Propaganda

I came across a link to this site at the Muqata this morning. Apparently, Rush Limbaugh also picked this up and has sent people to the site to see Hezbollah/Lebanese propaganda in action. The images are VERY graphic and disturbing, but the conclusion reached by the blogger is even moreso. In a nutshell, the same rescue worker appears in different incarnations in the photos published around the world in today's newspapers and online. Several things pointed out by the blogger point to the fact that these pictures were staged several times using the bodies of these poor children.

Additionally, the blogger does some research and finds this same rescue worker in another scenario in Lebanon 10 years ago posing with the bodies of innocent victims yet again.

It's tragic that the Lebanese will stoop so low as to use the bodies of dead children as propaganda.

In other news relating to the Qana tragedy, discrepancies apparently exist between the time Israel conducted the airstrikes and the time the building housing civilians in Qana collapsed. Here's the Jerusalem Post article. Not surprisingly, the international media hasn't picked it up. Perhaps an the eight hour gap between when the bombs were dropped and the building collapsed isn't as media-sexy as staged photos of dead women and children.
