The Red Cross Ambulance Incident (1 Viewer)

[oldreliable67]

Recall the "fauxtography" and lack of fact checking engaged in by various news organizations during the fighting in Lebanon? Recall the ability of Hezbollah to manage and control the information flow from news organizations reporting from Lebanon?

Remember the furor created when it was reported that IDF helicopters had deliberately fired on Lebanese Red Cross ambulances performing rescue operations, causing huge explosions and injuring all those inside the vehicles? The incident resulted in wide condemnation of the IDF, but it may be that the Red Cross ambulance incident was another example of the management of world opinion by Hezbollah. Zombienet has an extensive analysis of the incident. You may or may not agree with their conclusions, but it is worth reading and considering. Their conclusion:

Imprinted on the national psyche of Lebanon is the first "Qana massacre," which happened almost exactly a decade earlier. The supposed 1996 Israeli attack on an ambulance is considered such a significant event that a mock-up of the scene was displayed in the center of Beirut to mark the 10th anniversary.

Could it be that -- just maybe -- the ambulance drivers of Tyre decided to re-create a duplicate Israeli ambulance attack to mark the anniversary of the first one, in the exact same spot (Qana) where it had happened ten years earlier?

Conclusion: Ambulance attacks are (and have been for quite some time) highly significant to the Lebanese as symbols of national martyrdom. The ambulance drivers, who were apparently sympathetic to Hezbollah, conceivably could have staged the entire incident.

Read the whole thing and judge for yourself.

I posted a thread earlier about how they actively creat scenes and news. Then they distribute it to news agency. Carrying uninjured people to ambulances, hold fake funerals. Firing in one direction but showing the fighting in a completely different area. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this was staged, there is a prevelant history of them "making news" and setting up events

It's seems that somebody made a hole in that ambulance. A bomb or a missile from above would have destroy and burn the ambulance completely and not only done a hole in it.

Another lie of Hizbullah and his supporters worldwide.

I agree. Hizb'ebolla is again spewing propaganda.

 

[Tashah]

I can attest to the fact that a Hellfire missile does not simply put a hole in a vehicle. The vehicle is totally destroyed and oftentimes... simply disappears altogether.

I can also stipulate that IDF Rules of Engagement (ROEs) in Lebanon forbid targeting ambulances for ANY reason.

youre damn right a "HellFire" would have destroyed it!
It would have blown the sob apart.
The kitty spares no one...

It's little more then typical propaganda that could be easily stopped by taking Al Jezeera off the air permenantly.
