The Lie of Al Dura

The images were blasted across the world. A Palestinian boy and father penned down by what from news reports appears to be gunfire from the IDF. Then the boy appears to be shot. The condemnation of Israel was shift and has been unrelenting. And it is all based on a lie. The news reporter and the camera man staged the scene. The boy and his father could not have been harmed by the gunfire of the IDF.

Even in the news footage, after supposedly being shot, one can see his arm moving later.

France-2 news sued Richard Landes for defamation for pointing out that the news footage was staged. French courts have overturned a libel ruling against Richard Landes. The truth has finally come out.

So much hate and deaths have been caused by unscrupulous news people. So many lies about Israel has been reported by the news media. But the truth will come out.
