Fauxtography Update

"France 2, dragging its feet, eventually produced 18 minutes of film.
(There is practically no such thing as "contempt of court" in such
circumstances in the French judicial system.) The showing of this
film made for an eerie moment at the trial, when the hitherto blasé
judges sat up and started watching with more attention, then took a
recess, after which they asked for all of France 2's footage. It
would prove to be the turning point in the proceeding...
"You could see Palestinians being carried on stretchers into ambulances, then
coming out again unharmed, all in a kind of carnival atmosphere, with kids
throwing stones and making faces at the camera, despite what was
supposed to be
a tense situation. The tape showed occasional gunshots, not continuous firing.
From the general horsing around captured on film by Abu Rahmeh, Mena
concluded
that the whole scene must have been staged."
