US Expert: Hamas, not Israel, Killed Boys on Beach in Gaza War

One of the incidents most widely disseminated as “proof” of Israeli war crimes during its defensive Operation Protective Edge in Gaza last year was the deaths of four Arab youths on a Gaza beachfront used exclusively by Hamas terrorists. Foreign journalists reported as fact that Israeli war planes had bombed a beachfront, killing four youths—and the incident was highlighted in the recent UN Human Rights Council Commission of Inquiry. […]

However, it now appears that Israel need not take any approach to defend its actions—as the children on the beach were apparently killed not by its forces, but by Hamas itself.

The evidence for such has been gathered by a US-based weapons expert named Thomas Wictor. After conducting a forensic analysis of what happened on the day, pieced together using Hamas propaganda footage, film from various international TV networks, and photographs, Wictor has concluded that the boys killed on the beach were murdered by Hamas in a “Pallywood-style” propaganda stunt. …

Will the feckless UN have anything to say about this???

They started the Big Lie in this respect. When they get busted, they get quiet and try to cover up. One example of their doing just that had to do with their false prophecy of “50 million climate refugees by 2010”; they scrubbed their website, but not very well.

Things like that ought not to surprise us from an organization whose charter is a veritable copy of the 1936 USSR constitution, even down to the title of “Secretary General”, which is the same as that of the leader of any communist party in any communist state.

The truth is irrelevant there.

Israel and other more reliable sources always try to prove the truth AFTER an event but it has no impact at all.

The media loves the PLO, oops, I mean the HAMAS, oops, I mean FATAH, oops, I mean Paleostinian “cause”.

Nobody gives a flying toot a year later.

The truth means nothing to those that hate Israel and the West.

No other country has to prove it has the right to exist all the time, for the last 67 years...

While America and others drops tons of ordnance on targets, sometimes killing MANY more civilians, the world looks away but when an Israeli being bombarded by rocks and slingshot pellets accidentally sprains the ankle of a Palestinian “youth”, that demands a UN Inquiry, right?

The hypocrisy is amazing.

this was discovered soon after it happened-

The hypocrisy is amazing.

That's the way the devil's children roll.
