PA TV falsified Mohammed Al Dura clip as it falsified Gaza beach
videoPMW reported yesterday that Palestinian Authority
(PA) TV has been broadcasting a falsified video clip of the
events on the Gaza beach on Friday in an attempt to blame Israel
for the deaths. [Yesterday's bulletin is reprinted below.]In the new falsification, an unrelated video clip
of an Israeli missile boat was edited into news footage to make
it appear as if the Israeli boat intentionally fired on civilians.
This is the same technique that PA TV used after Muhammad Al-Dura
was killed in a cross fire in the Gaza Strip in 2000. Subsequent
analysis of that incident has shown that Palestinian fire likely
killed the boy. But the PA TV propaganda clip inserted footage
of an Israeli soldier from a completely different incident to
make it look as if a soldier deliberately aimed at and shot
Al-Dura. That doctored video clip was broadcast hundreds of
times on PA TV.

PA TV falsifies video of Gaza deathsPalestinian Authority TV has been
repeatedly broadcasting a falsified video clip of the events
surrounding the deaths of seven family members on the Gaza beach on
Friday. In an attempt to blame Israel's navy for the deaths, PA TV
took unrelated video of an Israeli missile boat firing at Gaza
earlier in the day and edited them into the scenes, creating the
impression Israeli responsibility.
The following is the time
frame of the PA TV editing and falsification:
seconds: PATV clip introduces the scene by showing an
Israeli missile boat firing on the Gaza coast. Audio of ambulance
siren is added to visual to create false impression that boat was
shooting at same time as ambulances were present.
seconds: Scene switches directly to the victims, creating
a false connection between the events.
seconds: PA TV returns to the naval vessel showing sailor
with binoculars looking at shore, again creating the false
impression he is observing the evacuation.
seconds: The evacuation scene continues ending with the
word "Why" on the screen only in English, indicating a foreign
target audience, possibly media.The video of the Israeli navy was
unrelated to the deaths, having been filmed earlier in the day and
had already released to the media and to the internet by the Israeli
army at 4:00 PM, an hour prior to the deaths.Click here to

of the
evacuationComment: It should be noted that not
only is the video falsified, but the beach scene clearly backs the
Israeli contention that the deaths were not caused by an Israeli
shell. Any Israeli shell would have left a giant crater and spread
sand over the entire area, as well as on the victims. There is no
crater and the beach scene is not disturbed in a way that indicates
an Israeli shell could have landed nearby.
