CNN republishes fake atrocity video and is proud to do so..even though it is fake!
Watch the video and then re watch it following Ed’s guide:
- Take a look at the blood on the operating table. For penetrating wounds, there is almost no blood, and what little there is looks washed out — almost orange. The body should have been covered in blood, and much more than that should have transferred to the sheets, especially if someone was giving CPR.
- The video alleges that the Israelis used a missile from an unmanned drone to attack the rooftop, but look carefully at that roof. A missile hitting that roof would have left much more than a six-inch-diameter impact crater, even if it didn’t explode.
- Also, the plastic chair is sitting normally in the blast zone, and the clothes remain on the clothesline in the background. A missile blast that killed two boys on that roof would have done much more extensive damage.
- Gilbert’s dramatic headshake at the end of the supposed CPR — in which Doctor #2’s hands keep coming off the body — is only the cheesy coup de grace.
CNN’s respond’s and proudly stands by this fake
Charles has 3 different versions of this same video for you to watch. He responds to CNN:
CNN now responds to the charge that Mashharawi worked for a company that operates Hamas websites:
Martin said accusations that Mashharawi owns a company that hosts Hamas Web sites were falsely based on Mashharawi having worked at a company that created the PS suffix to allow anyone of any political persuasion to create Palestinian Web sites.
According to Internet Haganah’s database of terror website hosts, in 2004 nepras.net, which lists Mashharawi as general manager, was the operator of the main Hamas website and the website of Hamas’ radio station Voice of Al Aqsa.
UPDATE at 1/9/09 6:51:37 pm:
This is the website of World News & Features, cited by CNN as a reliable source for news from Gaza. Please excuse me while I laugh.

This is sick. In my opinion, the media must think Hamas is nothing but a bunch of little kids.

Typical Hamas pr. The msm should make more of the fact that Hamas hides itself among the civilian population hoping for civilian casualties. They do not care about the children or the ethics of the situation. If it makes Israel look bad, then to them it’s worth it.
Another reason why Israel should continue the assault on Hamas.

CNN, aka Criminal News Network, Communist News Network, and Clinton News Network, is itself an atrocity in the media landscape.
This is just the latest of many faked propaganda efforts by the terrorists that CNN and others lap up and distribute. And gullible idiots everywhere are taken in by it.
I still laugh out loud every time I hear a CNN network news broadcast that has the statement “fair and balanced”.

Mads Gilbert is an active and willing participant in a fraud.
The whole scene is theater. I and others have real world experience running and/or participating in trauma codes both as civillians and in the military. NOTHING in the video comports with a real code. These are not inconsequential points.
Since when do you not secure an airway and bag while doing compressions? Since when can an ER MD look at a cardiac monitor and read a rythem when cardiac leads are unattached (you can hear the warning beep throughout the video)? Since when do you not establish lines and push drugs, strip the patient, insert a cath, not compress the chest (not even bad technique b/c there was no compression. The guy doing the compressions is probably not even in the medical field b/c if he was, he’d at least be able to fake it a little.
Mads Gilbert) is a western trained, known physician who is running the code, he’s in charge of everything we see happening. He knows what should be going on and yet he makes no attempt to intervene and tell the incompetant guy on the right, “you’re doing poor cpr technique and not compressing the chest, this kids going to die” he makes no effort to say, “we need to establish an airway,get this kid intabated so we can start providing oxygen”…. Why isn’t anyone drawing blood gases, getting an an x-ray to either locate the projectile, view the cardiac shadow, r/o a pneumothorax..
This is how it is done in Germany, the US and everywhere else in the wolrd. Yet there is ZERO effort to do anything. Instead Mads looks at the monitor and points to a non existent cardiac rhythms while the disconnected lead warning beep is blaring, shakes his head, looks around and at the end we can see a guy on the right finally hand a packet which I recognize as cardiac monitor patches to Mads and then he applies them to the chest. But wait, earlier in the video Gilbert was pointing at the monitor and shaking his head.
The fact that Mads makes no effort to correct many of the problems associated with the treatment of care, he MUST be involved in this farce. The man on the right is acting as if he’s providing chest compressions, it is not just bad technique. Mads is in charge and has to notice the non compressions yet he makes no effort to address this critical point. No one is bagging the patient. What is the point of doing chest compressions if the blood that would be circulating (if real cpr was performed) isn’t carrying oxygen.
Farce and bad theater.
The missle blast could not have occured as described. The type of munitions carried on the drone would have leveled the building. There are ample examples of this in other, widely viewed videos and photos. Since when does laundry and a flimsy plastic chair remain unscathed after a bomb blast and no structural damage to the building occurs.
Mads Gilbert has been exposed as either the world’s worst MD or an active participant in a propaganda video. It is a binary point, either a or b but there is no other conclussion one can reach.

CNN Commie News Nutwork. Commie news is the same wheather in the old USSR, China, North Korea, or the USA so full of lies. Did you really expect honest news casting from the likes of CNN?.
Hamas know they have Obame and his Dimwit-o-crat party members wrapped around their fingers. CNN any bullsh*t that will make the USA look like the villains is fit to print.
With CNN, Obama, and the Dimwit-o-crats so pro terrorist and so anti-Israel, can any one explain to me why so many USA Jews, voted for and support Obame so much? Its likened to Jews in 1932 voting and supporting Hitler!

One reason i dont watch the COMMUNISTS.NEWS,NETWORK owned by RED TED TURNER and run by BIG BAD WOLF BLITZER
January 14, 2009 - 10:45 AM on January 14th, 2009
Would someone please explain to me how it is proven that this video is fake? It was only rumored to be fake by some blogs and grew from there. The arguments above are not proof of anything but an opinion. Sort of like the JFK assassination video conspiracy, just opinion. I can point out things but can’t prove them just like anyone else. We need to stop believing everything just because we want to think it is fact. Liberal and Conservatives both eat up whatever crap is put in front of them.
What is fact is that over 900 people are dead so far and many are children, no faking that. Hamas needs to be wiped out, but at what cost? As you already see today Bin-laden and others are coming out now because of the fight in Gaza and are signing up recruits in droves.
Gotta be a better way.
January 16, 2009 - 01:09 AM on January 16th, 2009
And this is another reason why i dont watch the COMMUNISTS.NEWS.NETWORK iTs all lies and propeganda by RED TED TURNER and BIG BAD WOLF BLITZER
January 16, 2009 - 09:05 AM on January 16th, 2009
Mike. This is standard operating procedure for Hamas. There have been countless videos of “Israels atrocity’s” and each one has been independently proven false. Gives meaning to the saying ‘crying wolf’. As for the children dying, well, it’s sorry to say but another one of Hamas’s strategy. They purposely have their headquarters, etc. in the middle of civilian neighborhoods to maximize deaths when Israel fires. Why the Palestinians don’t get tired of that is a mystery but that is what they do.
For proof of how fake it is read Bills post above.
January 16, 2009 - 05:06 PM on January 16th, 2009
Mike, as BonBon points out the dead civilians are Hamas’ fault. They purposely place military assets in areas populated by civilians, knowing there will be “collateral damage” when Israel predictably and justly acts to destroy those assets. They love it; the more the better. The more dead children the higher the propaganda value. Hamas leadership doesn’t give a damn about their people and will use even children as fodder. It just serves to demonstrate to the world what a bunch of sick, twisted, demented bastards their leaders are.
Your indignation would be properly directed at Hamas.
January 16, 2009 - 06:51 PM on January 16th, 2009
Guys, I side with Israel, but do have compassion for the innocent people that do live in Gaza. We all can say for a fact that hundreds of people have died in the hospitals there, also buildings have been destroyed with innocent people in them. With that being said why would you have to put together a fake video when carnage is already all around you? The answer is you don’t.
This is my only point. I think we consume and believe too much because of our support for one side or the other. Don’t get me wrong, past conflict on a smaller scale I believe Hamas has faked some stuff for sympathy, but this one…….anybody can walk the streets of Gaza with a camera and it’s all around you, it makes no sense to bother doing it.
God Bless America and the land of Israel!
January 16, 2009 - 11:10 PM on January 16th, 2009
Good point, Mike. It is very sad the Palestinian people have to suffer because of the lunacy of their leadership.
And you are right, why does Hamas have to fake carnage when there is plenty of the real thing? They are not only corrupt, evil, and degenerate, they are stupid. The propaganda only hurts their cause in the minds of perceptive people.
January 17, 2009 - 06:07 AM on January 17th, 2009
What really needs to be addressed here is that the international community fails to recognize this and with the help of the corrupt United Nations, still continues to blame Isreal. I feel very sorry for the Palestinians but let’s face it – there is no arab country willing to take them. They are used as scapegoats to harass and give reason to fight with Israel. How do you stop it?
I’ve got one good answer. Continue to fight the WAR ON TERROR and yes I’m one american who is going to continue to refer to it as just what it is.
January 17, 2009 - 09:20 PM on January 17th, 2009
Israel should get the hell out of the West Bank once and for all, get out of Gaza – let them have their own nation for christsake, and allow Jerusalem to be a U.N. operated and administered city “owned” by the world and policed by blue helmet troops.
Won’t ever happen. They’ll fight eachother like the fools that they are until the end of time, if allowed to.
January 18, 2009 - 12:21 PM on January 18th, 2009
Hi SFL…and San Francisco (along with Vermont) should just get the hell out of the U.S. We don’t need freaks like your city’s inhabitants prove to be over and over again.
January 18, 2009 - 08:52 PM on January 18th, 2009
Hi SFL, glad to see you back. I thought about you the other day when I had to go to SF for business. BART to Market St. is the most convenient way to get to the financial district from anywhere in the Bay Area, imo.
The problem is that every time the Israelis have traded land for Peace it hasn’t worked. After the honeymoon is over her enemies resume their attacks. So the lesson is that doesn’t work. And if Israel just abandoned Gaza, her enemies would claim it as a victory and renew their attacks with even more vigor.
Peace comes only when both sides agree it is the better path or when one side is unable to continue the war. As long as one side doesn’t want Peace the second way is the only way it will occur.
This isn’t my opinion or philosophy, it is fact proven over and over again in every society, every culture, every era of human history.
