***updated with MSM contact info below...Dan Riehl follows up with observations about the ambulance license plates...Related: Daniel Freedman on Hezbollah's helpers at the Red Cross***
Take a good look at these three images of Red Cross ambulances in Lebanon, supposedly deliberately targeted by Israel, and broadcast worldwide by the MSM last month:
On August 6, I linked to Dan Riehl's excellent post raising questions and doubts (his initial post here) about the alleged missile targeting by Israel of the Red Cross ambulances. Infinitives Unsplit first called attention to the dubious ambulance claims on July 27.
Now, Internet documentarian and photojournalist Zombie has compiled a damning, in-depth report on the ambulance claims that the MSM swallowed whole: "The Red Cross Ambulance Incident: How the Media Legitimized an Anti-Israel Hoax and Changed the Course of a War." The intro:
On the night of July 23, 2006, an Israeli aircraft intentionally fired missiles at and struck two Lebanese Red Cross ambulances performing rescue operations, causing huge explosions that injured everyone inside the vehicles. Or so says the global media, including Time magazine, the BBC, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and thousands of other outlets around the world. If true, the incident would have been an egregious and indefensible violation of the Geneva Convention, and would constitute a war crime committed by the state of Israel.
But there's one problem: It never happened.

bump
I like the littel red x's on them.
Wonder if green helmet guy was riding in it when it was hit?
But of course. :o)
big ping
I wonder if the MSM even cares. The only people who find out about the fraud are those who don't watch the MSM anyway.
They are clinging on. It is up to you and me and 10's of 1000s of freepers and bloggers to crush their fingers. Get active in a MSM watchdog group or start emailing the MSM editors and producers. LGF and FR force fed the fake photos story down their throats and we must keep doing it, day in and day out.
Obvious to me - certainly not to the useful idiots of the MSM.
"Mediacrats"
The new term for the Media.
LOL. Perfect.
To everyone, ping others and lets get theis story on the news, dammit.
Turnout is key, and it will be helpful if the GOP gets busy and throws out some more bones as well.
They cannot ignore the blogosphere any more.
Agreed.
Everyone needs to read the entire Zombietimes report to see exactly what happened. It is treasonous for the MSM to report this worldwide and not do ANY F*****G research into the veracity of such spectacular claims.
I never read that report, but this sentence at home would have sent my antennae to full alert.
Doesn't the Red Crescent operate in Muslim countries?
Shalom.

Good link
Well it would help if I would put the recipient list up...
Israeli is RICH! (Jooos!) The Palestinians are POOR!
That is all anyone need know about the Middle East, according to the MSM. Not HOW the Israelis turned a sand pile into a prosperous nation. Not that the "Palestinians" have got to be, collectively, one of the stupidest, most gullible, bunches ever (it's not racism if they're just a bunch of people from different countries cobbled together) for allowing themselves to get all puffed up with "nationalist" good feeling as the World's #1 Loser-Victims. Not that they are puppets of the Middle East rulers who are playing 'LOok behind that tree!" with their people to create a Boogeyman. Not that rich liberal journalists need A Cause so they latch on to The Poor Palestinians to give themselves street cred (and once again using the Palis).
None of this "factual" stuff matters, these photos proving a hoax. No, the Israelis are the US proxies in the area, and like the US they have WEALTH.
Ergo, in the minds of these wealthy guilty-feeling liberals, they are EVIL, and anything you do to hurt EVIL RICH PEOPLE is by default less-than-evil, thus GOOD.
