UK papers tone down 'anti-Israel' coverage of Nebi Salah clashes

First topic message reminder :

LONDON - Two of Britain's leading newspapers have changed their coverage of a violent clash between an IDF soldier and Palestinian women and children after claims arose that the family involved in the incident, and particularly a blonde girl photographed biting the soldier, are known provocateurs.

On Friday, an IDF soldier trying to arrest a stone-throwing 13-year-old Palestinian boy drew international outrage after he was documented in a violent clash with Palestinian women and children.

 
Members of the Tamimi family, prominent Palestinian activists, physically attacked the soldier in an attempt to free son Muhammad Tamini, whose hand was in a cast.

According to the UK Media Watch, a pro-Israel website monitoring coverage of Israel in the British press, the girl who appears in the photos biting the soldier is Ahed Tamini, the daughter of Narimen and Bassem Tamini, who is known among Israeli supporters online as "Shirley Temper."

The blonde-haired girl became a symbol of the Palestinian resistance in international media and is often documented in confrontations with Israeli soldiers. Muhammad Tamini is her brother.

 
The website quoted Tamar Sternthal from CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America) who said that the Palestinian village of Nebi Salah, where the incident occurred, is "where photographers gather every Friday to document repetitious scenes of Palestinian residents and international activists clashing with Israeli soldiers." The site noted this was where "activists often place their children in danger to score propaganda points."

The UK Media Watch said major newspapers like The Daily Mail and The Telegraph realized the incident was staged by the Palestinians in order to cause provocation.

 
The Daily Mail's original headline read: "Extraordinary moment that desperate Palestinian women fought and BIT an Israeli soldier after he put boy with a broken arm in a headlock at gunpoint."

Later, however, the story was edited and given a different headline: "Questions raised over shocking West Bank image of boy with a broken arm being held at gunpoint by an Israeli soldier after girl, 13, seen biting attacker is revealed as prolific 'Pallywood star.'"

According to UK Media Watch, "the term 'Pallywood' refers to the staging of scenes by Palestinian journalists in order to present the Palestinians as hapless victims of Israeli aggression."

 
The British Telegraph initially ran the story with the headline "Palestinian women wrestle Israeli soldier off injured small boy."

Later, however, the story was removed entirely from the Telegraph's website.

Leading British newspapers The Times of London and The Guardian did not cover the story at all, while the UK Media Watch said Channel 4 News, The Independent and the Daily Mirror - a tabloid - reported it "and largely followed the Pallywood script (the latter going with the headline ‘West Bank Freedom Biter’)."

Bollocks, these are part of the Pallywood production so stop trying to pull the wool over Rags eyes with bullshit sassy.
You are one serioiusly bullshiting liar lol

Sassy, look at this video. Look around the 2.30 mark. The boy is backing away, and two women or older girls grab him and shove him forward right at one of the soldiers - deliberately. Why did they do that?

Yep, that'll be why the UN are there and film it.   Yawn.

UN?
They were brought also lol ha ha ha

So they just happened to be there also Sassy


Ha ha ha ha ha ha

What an idiot

These children are not at all frightened of the soldiers are they? So much for this idea that all the soldiers are mean vicious people.

Oh yes, according to Israel everyone is 'bought' who sees through them and tells the world what they are doing.  Bless you lol

You haven't got a clue have you Rags?   They have got past the fear stage it's been going on so long, fear doesn't stop them being abused so they know their only hope is to resist, and resist they do.   So brave.

Rags that is the telling point, they are not friegtened at all which further proves its a set up.
I mean most people would be scared espcially children with guns present and they are not further proving the fact its a Hoax thing where again it is the same family as from before.

Pallywood and left wing extremists as seen easily buy into and never question
.

Yep, with the help of Israeli ministers.  You do make me laugh.

So sassys evidence comes from a dubious source which she also buys into ignoring the evidence from the videos themselves.
See how she posted a very short clip, but when you watch the longer clip its evident the whole thing was a set up.

Look at them Sassy. They are not frightened in the least. They're enjoying themselves immensely. Maybe it's because there are cameras there, but the soldiers are not reacting in the slightest - they show no irritation.

The girl is doing it for the cameras, and did you see how that boy got shoved forward right into a soldier? It looked like he was fed up or bored perhaps, but he was told to provoke them.

I don't usually comment on these post by Sassy, but this was staged managed, the girls are obviously trying to provoke the Soldiers.

I'm not saying that bad things don't happen out there, but these people are playing with fire because they're playing to the gallery. The girl might get away with it, and one day she might be a real celebrity - maybe have her own TV show or something. The boy might not be so lucky.

This kind of thing makes a mockery of the real problems out there.

Sassy has cried "wolf" so many times on here that even if some of it was true.[ and some of it was] i'm afraid that I, and most others on this Forum take it with "A PINCH OF SALT" give it a rest for a bit and we might take some of it seriously!

I don't normally read all the threads on this subject because there are so many of them, but this one has been a real eye-opener.

Oh no, you've kept your eyes well shut.  Do you think their days are like yours?  Their homes are pulled down in front of them and given to illegal settlers, their crops are destroyed, their olive trees torched.  They are not allowed to use the roads Israeli's use, even though it is their land, soldiers come and take away their childen in the middle of the night and torture them, they are put in jail without a trial, their churches and mosques are pulled down or burnt and defiled, their most sacred cemetary was bulldozed and a shopping arcade built on land taken illegally, they have no right to build homes in their land and so much more.  You haven't got a clue Rags.   All over the world people are rising up and condemning Israel because they can see what they are doing and they know they will not stop until they have taken over the whole of Palestine.   Jews world-wide condemn it, it is Zionist, not Jewish and it is illegal colonisation condemned by the EU, the UN, and the terrorists are Israel and those they terrorise have a right to resist.    Have you any idea why people laugh and Didge and his like?   I suggest you open your eyes and find out.

Where has Rags spoke of other incidents?
She never did but spoke about this incident. Plus some of the claims made are straight out of the Pallywood directors cut from Stassi.
As usual Stassi plays the emotive response and does she speak of the problems Israelis face?
Of course not as per usual one sided babble
Poor deflection yet again from Stassi
Can Stassi condemn this clear pallywood production?
No, she buys any bull as seen

I'm not stupid Sassy, and I can see that the videos in this thread are staged. That's what I'm commenting on.

Now if the Palestinians want their plight to be seen, and if they want help, I suggest that they tell the young actors and actresses to stop crying wolf because it's damaging their cause.

I'll tell you something else Sassy. Your bombardment of this forum with random stories is not helping. Your refusal to see that some of these scenes are staged, and that some of them are crying wolf, is damaging your own cause.

I've always been a bit on the fence re the Palestine/Israel situation because I can see both sides, but at the same time I've tended to side slightly with the Palestinians because they are the underdogs, so to speak. The Zionist cause does not impress me, no matter how much collective guilt we're all supposed to feel about the Holocaust.

However, the complaints of the Palestinians have to be real, they have to hold up to scrutiny, and these videos simply do not.

You are stupid if you think it was staged, it happens every single day and they film everything, and so to the International acitivits that are there, to show the world what goes on.  They don't need to cry wolf, they could film hundreds of things every day and frequently do, that's what the Israeli's hate.

They have the UN and NGOs filming for them, they don't need to stage anything.

Okay Sassy, why did all the men stand around filming and not lift a finger to help and only the women acted? Does that not look very suspect to you?
Or how so many press were they in the middle of nowhere and just so happen to be their on the exact spot? Or why the soldier wore the most ridiculous balaclava which did not even look like army issue? Where was all the other IDF soldiers while this was happenning? Why is it this same family of activists are yet again in such a video? The whole thing was so staged it is stunning you still are that gullible.

Ask that of any newspapers photographer.  They are designated to film so they have a record of anything that happens, wouldn't be much use if they dropped the camera and stopped filming.

When I say staged, I mean that the kids are provoking the soldiers deliberately, hoping that one of them will react, and then they can claim that they were assaulted. You have refused to reply to my post about the boy being pushed forward into a soldier. Perhaps you'd like to do so now.

Copout alert.
So they just happened to be their at the exact moment?
Bullshit alert.
Again you evdaed all my other points.

Other men did go to help:

How is it a copout when you know that the best thing you can do is collect the evidence.  They film everything, it is the only defence they have.

No they did not you can see on the whole video they are standing back doing nothing.
You really just keep coming out with the worst excuses.
I suggest you watch the long video again and see how the men just basically stand there while the drama is enacted .
Explain how it just so happens top be the exact same Palestinian activist family?
Explain the non-army issue balaclava?

So why did those people who were attacking the soldier not get shot? Why were they not arrested? They were not afraid of him - they were right there on top of him.

Did anyone film what happened right before the boy was touched? If not, why not?

What is this thread about?


Is this a fake story designed to provoke knee jerk reaction by gullible fools and possible mob action!?

So fake the humiliation of the soldier incenced the Israeli government.  Nothing fake about, just an ordinary day in Palestine.

Fortunately there are people who will report what happened honestly and not just trot out the propagands issued out by the IDF and the biased websites that have been used here. The protesters are Palestinian, Israeli and international peace activists. The attempts to demonise a young girl and her family for protesting after her brother was shot dead from the back of an armoured vehicle is absolutely disgusting.

IDF falsely arrested photographers during Palestinian protest, court rules
Israeli soldiers arrested two Israeli and one Palestinian photographers during a demonstration in the West Bank. What followed showed just how differently Israelis and Palestinian detainees are treated.

Even JewishVoiceForPeace see the injustice in what happened.

Big brave men firing at unarmed civilians, scumbags.

IDF throwing stones as well Well I never. And the parting shot was to fire a stun grenade into the group as the soldier is dragged away by a colleague.

The soldier chased the boy for about 100 yards muttering something like “leftists being trash.” so no way was that staged.

You as much an idiot as Sassy. Ha Ha ha
How is that article honest?
That is subjective based on your opinion of the individual, which is hilarious.
Even your own links states as an update:

UPDATE (Aug 30): On August 29th, the day after the incident, the IDF filed a complaint with the Israeli Police. Officials from the Samaria and Judea District police force told the Hebrew-language news website 0404 that “the attackers are well-known and will be arrested soon.”

The fact is the mother and father of these children have been arrested numereous times for inciting and encouraging children to throw stones with hate. Though I guess you advocate such hate and child abuse as you have defended those miner scum doing the same, to the point an innocent man lost his life having a concrete block dropped on his taxi.

So your article was written before this hoax was exposed, where its clear it was a setup.
I doubt even that was an IDF soldier or at the vert least as stated it was a complete set up.
Again the people involved who are activists involved in Pallywood just happen to be there and its her family again?
Please your links are embarressing and further proves how you support terrorism.
You failed just like Sassy did to answer many of the questions.
Now many questions were asked which proves this was a setup but only the two forum clowns think otherwise.
Where was all the other IDF soldiers while this was happenning?
Why did not one IDF come to his aid?
Why is it this same family of activists are yet again in such a video?
Why was none arrested for assualting a supposed IDF soldier at the time of the incident?
Why did the men stand around and the women attack an armed soldier who we are led to believe fire in retaliation on Palestinians when attacked?
Why is he wearing tights over his head?
Why is it countless media just happened to be there at that exact spot which seemed far away from any protest going on?

Even the British media can smell a rat hence why they changed their headlines and stories.
Only the two forum Hamas left wing extremist supporters would claim otherwise it seems





I already showed the full lengh video which it is obvious to the most intelligent people it was staged
Now why not answer the countless questions that Sassy failed to do so.
Just because you offer up poor links which are dated before this was exposed as a hoax is not evidence you thick idiot lol Ha ha ha ha.
