He's baaack! With More Palestinian Chicanery (including VIDEO)
Iconoclast.ca (Daily Notebook) ^ | September 9, 2002 | The Iconoclast

Posted on 5/9/2002, 1:32:10 PM by Apolitical

MAY 9, 2002: Hey, yours truly, the Iconoclast, is back.   Did you miss me?   Didn't think so.   But regardless, let's proceed with today's notebook entry from the jaded one.

And once we're at it, let's have some real fun today -- getting past all that knee-jerk whining about the terrible 'massacre' that occurred in the Jenin refugee camp, as reported by Time Online, Newsweek and all the other objective "mainstream" news publications. And let's dig deep into the very heart of the desperate Palestinian "reality" (or should we say unreality) left by the brutal incursion of those nasty Israelis.

No, no. Put away your hankies and kleenex, even though this is a story about Palestinians. Trust us, you'll have dry eyes if you read on.

And be prepared to be disabused of your most cherished notions of Palestinian victimhood if you're a weepy liberal who happened to stumble onto this site by accident.

Yes, it's almost time to proceed to the amazing video featured on the Jewish World Review Web site (well, where did you expect us to find it -- on one of those less-than-subtle Saudi "Slaughter The Vermin Jews" official Arab online information sites?).

And to set things up properly, here's the cynical introduction provided by the folks at JWR:

An Israeli drone flying over Jenin on Monday, April 28 caught a modern-day resurrection. Well, sort of.

As Arab propaganda cameras rolled, pallbearers repeatedly tried to carry a "dead" man wrapped in a green blanket. The only problem is that he couldn't keep his balance and kept falling. A highlight: At 1:35 on the film, a crowd of onlookers quickly breaks up, when the "corpse" picks himself off the floor and gets back up on the stretcher.

If the purpose of this video were not so EVIL, it would belong on one of those Dick Clark TV specials. After the 'massacre' and now this, can you believe ANYTHING the Arabs say?

Okay, so the picture is tiny, and it's difficult to make out what's happening. So why don't we let that master of Palestinian disasters, Mark Steyn, give you a blow-by-blow description, after which you can view the video again for confirmation. Here's Mr. Steyn's description, as featured in his outrageous Monday National Post column, The brutal Afghan winter hits Jenin:

Anxious to lend the West's agitated humanitarians a helping hand, a group of Palestinians in Jenin held a funeral a week ago for one of their massacred compatriots and invited a cameraman along. The deceased, covered in a shroud, was being borne on a stretcher to his final resting place, when, alas, his bearers stumbled and he fell to the ground. The "corpse" picked himself up, dusted himself off and climbed back on the stretcher to start all over again. Unfortunately, the clumsy pall bearers managed to drop him a second time. At this point, the crowd, who apparently weren't in on the scheme, fled in terror. The stiff, meanwhile, had had enough of his bungling bearers, and flounced off in a huff.

Oh, dear. Jenin, tragically, seems to be the first massacre with a shortage of corpses. Would it have been too much for the Hamas PR guys to get one of their eager schoolgirl volunteers to detonate herself in the backyard?


Forgive us for including that final Steyn zinger. The man has no taste. And we love it!

Just out of curiosity, did anyone see this video shown on any TV network other than FOX?
