Will Amnesty International say "oops!" about this?



I guess not.

Can't say the flick shows how it was edited, but there's no way for it to do that, I guess. Anyhow, AI is not be trusted. IRRC they said something nice recently about the IDF. Their backers must have howled. So here's the payback.

There is that moment where they flip two images - before the cut and after the cut - back and forth a few times, and the sudden change of shadows and light on the walls could be seen.

Re bombing: if it is a delayed fuse bomb that blows up only after it penetrates the whole house and the charge is not big, this is exactly what should happen: the house collapses without any serious damage, save a few windows...

It was actually an extraordinary piece of precision bombing. One house got leveled. The house a few feet away looks like it did not even get any broken windows.
I am glad that they used the term "lying" rather than softer language.

I despise almost all NGO's. They have been the refuge and lair of liars, provocateurs, and demagogues, who pervert the organizations true mission.

I know a few words that are even harsher than "lying" ;-)

You forgot the unemployed wannabe "whistleblowers" who seek an outlet for their righteous wrath.

O/T Snoopy, I understand you guys are going to get Mr. Pollack back. I have very mixed emotions about what he originally did and the punishment he received. This is separate of course from the timing of all this. You can't get much more obvious.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Yes indeed, he got quite a bit more years that most spies of his kind. And it is totally true re the timing.

"Arabs do have a sense of humor. Here is a joke told to me by a Saudi Air Force officer:
Jesus, Moses and Mohammed were riding around the world on a magic carpet.
Jesus looked down and said: "There are my people, They are leaders of industry and commerce. They are my people"!
Moses
looked down and said "There are my people" They are scientists,
philanthropists, doctors. They are my people"! Mohammed looked down and
said, "There a=re my people.....just as I left them"

That's being not strictly true, the Muslims world had a period of renaissance, but it is long forgotten and covered by sand. Where goats and Camels frolic...

He should have been released long ago. Better late than never.
