MORE EVIDENCE OF AN AL-DURA HOAX

More Evidence of an Al-Dura Hoax (LGF)
As part of the propaganda show around the Mohammed al-Dura incident, the father of the boy was paraded in front of cameras with “wounds” supposedly caused by Israeli bullets. Now Nidra Poller has a PJ Media report from France on newly discovered medical records that prove those wounds date back to 1992.

Jamal al Dura, who claims that Israelis fired at him and his son in 2000, was in fact injured by an axe blade and not bullets in 1992, according to an Israeli surgeon who performed reconstructive surgery on the wounds two years later. PJM’s Nidra Poller reports on the latest startling development in the mother of all fauxtography cases.

The discredited Mohammed al-Dura video continues to unravel. Nidra Poller explains the latest surprise:
Philippe Karsenty, who is appealing his 2006 defamation conviction—for declaring on his Media-Ratings site that the al Dura news report was a blatant fake—obtained medical records proving that Jamal’s wounds were treated by an Israeli surgeon in 1994. Now the surgeon, Yehuda David, has confirmed this information on a December 12 newscast on Israel’s Arutz 10 TV.
Watch the Arutz 10 report in Hebrew. The Metula News Agency translated it into French. We're not aware of an English translation yet.
