If given the opportunity to "stage" an event, why wouldn't the actors know to have the child cradled in his father's arms in front of him with the double protection of the barrel and himself. Probably because it would be harder to use the child as propaganda. To those who posted links: Thank you, I don't understand why we have to see this from unconventional sources. Makes you go hmmmm...

Israel has been tarred & feathered. This story will not be picked up and the journalist discredited. UNLESS we scream loud and clear. It doesn’t matter. Israel has been tarred & feathered.

There is just such overwhelming evidence now that this scene was staged that only someone with eyes wide shut could still "struggle" with it (many of the posters cite good links that the author should have known about. Nidra Poller also wrote outstanding articles on this site about the case). As to the expressions of terror on the faces of the protagonists being genuine, come on. There are B movies where the actors do a more convincing job. Furthermore, the reason Ms. Fried does not believe it's a hoax is not attributable to the ability of the actors, but rather , as Adina Kutnicki says above , that the Palestinians have succeeded in imposing their "always blame the Jews" lie as truth to an uncritical world.

I followed the reports of both Karsenty trials and watched the unedited cuts of the film - the intentionally deceptive editing by Enderlin and France 2 is unforgiveable - how many people have died as a result of that (bogus) news story? It's sickening. Augean Stables has an in depth dossier of the entire affair http:

That is all the Muslims have left. They tried politics, when that didn't work, they tried invasion and did even worse. Then they tried terrorism without any luck. Now they are trying propaganda. That won't work either. What makes me laugh is how stooooooooopid it all is. If the Muslims had just said on day one, "oh look, the jooooos are moving in" and ignored them, Israel today would be a strip mall with a deli on the road between Damascus and Cairo. It was the Muslims trying to perform genocide on the jooos that made Israel what it is today. The entire Arab/Israeli thangie is down to propaganda. That is all the Muslims have left.

Those are the lies of the Palestinians. All those lies are known as Pallywood. just look at this video and you will understand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_B1H-1opys This is not surprising from a people who claim proud of the industry of death they create: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTu-AUE9ycs It was a fake!!!

Rather, I view their pernicious lying as caused by pernicious greed. Remember, reporters need to make a living and that means competing in literally a cut-throat world where the bloodier the story, the more copies sold. Journalism is just a business; no different than drug smuggling or prostitution or politics. There is unfortunately only a fine line between the licit and illict ends of a continuum for any profession: police and criminals, butchers of animals and butchers of people, idealists and violent revolutionaries. Any one can go astray in the manner of Enderlin. That Israelis died in the events following the al-Dhurra affair is merely collateral damage, fully acceptable to those at France 2 and elsewhere.
