    Reuters caught, for second time, doctoring images to make Israel look bad

    Here and if you don't like fox than here or here


    The purposely doctored a picture of weapons out of the hands of protestors to make it look like they weren't armed.

    This is the second time Reuters has been accused of manipulating photos. In 2006 a Reuters photographer, Adnan Hajj, doctored several photos of the destruction caused by Israel's bombing of Beirut. In one he added smoke to a panoramic picture of South Beirut to make the damage look more severe than it was. In a second photo, he showed a woman whose home had supposedly been destroyed in the same raid, but an investigation revealed that the woman's house had been destroyed prior to the Israeli strike.



    When will the constant disinfo war stop?


    4 out of the 5 ships coming throught he blockade complied without problem, they also gave this ship three opportunities to comply. When they did finally board this ship they they weren't initially armed with guns. You would think if they were expecting a conflict they would come in with guns as primary weapons. This is further supporter by the fact that the picture that was doctored was of an unarmed IDF soldier that had been stabbed by a protestor and was laying on the ground bleeding.

    You board a ship in international waters, unwelcome, and you are asking to get attacked. Try it sometime.

      You are at your house and someone is out in the street, right past your lawn and says "I am coming you filfthy white bastard, why don't you go back to eruope where you belong!". He is surrounded by 60 others equally pissed off protestors that have formed a lynch mob, they are carrying weapons. Furthermore, your neighbors keep shooting your dog and your wondering where they keep getting bullets from, and these protestors need to walk past your lawn to deliver what looks like bullets to your neighbor so he can continue shooting your dog. You walk out to the street to take the bullets from them, leaving your property and pre-emptively trying to find out if they are in fact planning on delivering bullets to your neighbor.

      You walk out to the street, which is not your property and warn them 4 times to either show you if they have bullets in their backpacks or leave, they refuse and shout racist comments at you. You go out unarmed and try to search them, they stab you to death. Behind you comes your buddy who was in the house, having saw the stabbig he comes out with a shotgun and unloads it into the crowd.



      In this situation, how would you feel if the news came to your house, doctored photographs and only showed you with the gun but not the lynch mob, then tried spinning it to make it sound black and white as though you just aggressively found some people chilling in the street and shot them.


      This is how it works. No they shouldn't have boarded in international waters, but they knew what was coming because the ship made it's intentions clear. Upon boarding them they tried to murder the soldiers, so the soldiers shot them. Both sides are to blame in this, it is unfair to just say the soldiers were at fault here, just like it would be unfair to report on you having shot the lynch mob, but fail to note that you dog keep getting shot and a lynchmob stabbed one of your family members while trying to brign your neighbor more bullets. Always more to the story than what is reported Tom.

        Call the cops and let them handle it. Or in this case, the UN. Wait, that's right, Israel consistently refuses to let the UN in to do much of anything to stop the conflict. If you refuse to let law enforcement into your house despite being robbed multiple times, it's your own fault if it happens again.

          Countries board ships in international waters all the time when it suits their purposes, from the Russians, The Engiish, French, U.S., to Iran. Usually there is little or no lethal confrontation, inspections are done, ship continues on. This particular incident was far from ordinary and appears engineered so that substantial PR benefits would redound to the Gaza activists. It worked pretty well, only nine killed, a civilian body count that would not normally make Hamas even raise an eyebrow, and spluttering indignation spread around the world. PR coup notwithstanding Hamas is delusional if it thinks that much will change over this little immorality play.

            Israel lets the UN provide aid and the US pays for said aid. Not sure how that equates to evil zionists ruling the world under funding from the west.

              Hamas would quickly kill 9 palestinians if it would be to their benefit.

                I'm not talking about humanitarian aid, I'm talking about a UN action. Israel resolutely refuses to allow any sort of international investigation in any situation where things might turn out poorly for Israel, like after their war on Gaza. Because of this, you only see the UN giving out humanitarian aid on the Palestinian side, and you don't see any sort of coalition stationed in Israel to try and protect Israel from attacks.

                  Perhaps Israel has rightly concluded the UN is an ineffectual, corrupt, morally bankrupt cesspool?

                    This doesn't make any sense. Everyone knows the joos control the world. Why don't those hook nose, blood suckers fire the reporter?

                    What we should learn from this (assuming were a little slow and haven't yet figured it out)? Main stream media, for the most part, are no longer journalists. They are activists who see it as their job, to sway public opinion. Second, there's plenty of antisemitism to go around.

                      The UN is hardly a morally bankrupt cesspool. You just don't want to admit that the US can make bad decisions that the rest of the world told them were bad ideas.

                        Probably because the UN sides with the palestinians and terrorists every time and routinely throws Israel under the bus. It does nothing to stop people who wish ill of Israel. The UN has proven to be ineffective at anything it's ever done, it can't control Iran any more than it can control the weather, it can't bring any type of peace anywhere, and has accomplished nothing, it is a fake organization posing as peacekeepers when it fact it is just another tool for the global elite to make it look like our governments are doing something.


                        Israel is sick of this shit and sick of no one standing up for them where their women and children die, when you are the little guy and no one sticks up for you, you must learn to fight.
