Those are expensive candles. Don’t let them fool ya. Bought with the money from international aid that never made it to the general population. I could be very wrong though and that daylight might be doctored by the Mossad to look as if the poor Hamas has to do their dirty job in the dark. By dirty I meant “Honourable Fight for Freedom”. At least they have their faces uncovered. The Brave Hamas Parliament works even over hours it seems. I’m not being silly. Not at all.

Surely Hamas at least gets points for effort? I mean, conspiring with the media must be regarded as better than shooting at them as they were doing last week.

Who’s gloating, george? A staged photo is a staged photo. Would you not want that to be exposed? And the comparison to the Warsaw ghetto is disgusting. The situations have nothing in common.

You’ve caught Time out here for sure, but to me the real people you have caught out are yourselves. Could anything be more mean-spirited than to gloat over the real misery caused to 1.5 million people by a siege that has now reached the point of causing mass starvation, death and misery almost entirely to civilians who have no power at all to influence the situation. Brings to mind the Warsaw Ghetto. You might support the Israeli government but this is like gloating over the misery of prisoners in jails, cancer victims, beaten wives …

For an organization devoted to the slaughter of Israelis and destruction of the Jewish state, Hamas seems pathetically weak when it tries to invoke the “sympathy card”.

Which more than a few western editors assist them with.

(as for “fauxtography”, the propaganda machine loves to make those “woe is us” videos where the corpse gets off the bier and walks away after the camera shoot)

I have sympathy for Gazans who have to live under Hamas, which spends the territory’s limited resources on weaponry and brags as to how their newly import rockets and missiles can reach even farther into Israeli territory.

I have a lot of sympathy for individuals reduced to breaking down a barrier with Egypt to buy household supplies.

Promoting Hamas Propaganda? I’m canceling my subscription to Time Magazine. Oh, wait, I canceled that three years ago.

even more laughable is the notion of a “Palestinian parliament”. Now that’s a good one!

My first thought was why don’t they open the blue blinds?

They’re not even trying to be convincing any more. They know the western media will cover their tracks and never give the correction the same ink as the original fake. From Al Dura and fauxtography in Lebanon to predending day is night, most people will never know they’re being played by the Islamist
Arabs. The media is knowingly complicit.

It is also clear that despite the attempt to look studiously busy at their terror affairs, these bozos have displayed photos (of so-called “martyrs” no doubt — another cancerous Islamic lie fostered by TIME… ) so ostentatiously on their desks that there’s virtually no room for them to work in reality. This is clearly completely staged, even down to the fact that the photographer probably prompted and directed the placement of those “martyr” photographs for best advantage.

The history of fascist apologetics by the MSM in cahoots with the Muslim nazis of the world has risen to the level of treason against America in my opinion…

Maybe shareholder suits are the way to slap down these dishonest editors. A news magazine has no value other than pure fantasy entertainment when it fakes the story.
