Fl;yer given out on August 4, 2006Staged Massacre
It is increasingly clear that the Qana "massacre" was a stage-managed Hizballah production, designed precisely to enflame international sentiment against Israel and compel the Israelis to accept a ceasefire that would enable the jihad terrorist group to recover. Some of the principal evidence for this:
• The hospital in Tyre, Lebanon, and Human Rights Watch both reported on August 3 that 28 people were killed in the Kana collapse, and not twice that number, as originally reported.
• The Israeli bombardment took place about midnight, but the house where the civilians were gathered reportedly did not collapse until 8AM. It strains credulity that not only did these Lebanese civilians remain in a house that had been bombed for eight hours, but peacefully went to sleep in it &endash; since the victims were all apparently sleeping, despite continuing Israeli air bombardment in the area. (…) It could be that Hizballah housed bombs and/or weapons in that building.
• Photos of the rescue operation are extremely suspicious. The dating of the various photos suggests that the same bodies were paraded before reporters on different occasions, each time as if they had just been pulled from the rubble. In the photos themselves: some workers are wearing different gear in different photos, yet clearly carrying the same corpse.
• While Hezbollah and its apologists have been claiming that civilians could not freely flee the scene due to Israeli destruction of bridges and roads, the journalists and rescue teams from nearby Tyre had no problem getting there.
• The Christian Lebanese website LIBANOSCOPIE charged: "We have it from a credible source that Hizbullah placed a rocket launcher on the roof in Qana and brought disabled children inside, in a bid to provoke a response by the Israeli Air Force."
• The Berlin daily the Tagesspiegel published a letter-to-the-editor from Dr. Mounir Herzallah, a Shiite from the South of Lebanon. Dr. Herzallah reports on how Hezbollah-terrorists came to his town, dug a munitions depot and then built a school and a residence directly over it. He writes: 'Laughing, a local sheikh explained to me that the Jews lose either way: either because the rockets are fired at them or because, if they attack munitions depot, they are condemned by world public opinion on account of the dead civilians.' Hezbollah, he says, uses the civilian population 'as a human shield and then, when they are dead, use them as propaganda.'"
Americans and Westerners are not used to dealing with carefully orchestrated and large-scale deception of this kind. It is time that it be recognized as a weapon of warfare, and an extremely potent one at that.

Palestinians have made well-documented use of this kind of faked footage &endash; such as scenes from Jenin of "dead" victims falling off gurneys and then climbing back on. There is increasing evidence that the Kana sequel is another episode in this genre.

In any case, Hezbollah has launched more than 150 rockets from Qana and the area around it since July 12. Once again, they hid behind civilian human shields, which is a war crime.
