Big Media Serves Up Video,
Suppresses Other Stories
I,
like you, sat in front of the TV and was presented with images of "Palestinians
celebrating" the terrorism of 9/11/01 over and over again. I was even treated to
a slow motion version with an accompanying song that instructed viewers that
"You got to be taught to hate."
Most
men don't participate in the "spontaneous celebrations."The men, walking past
these three children, don't like treats?
There
is more to this story, although mainstream media and many "alternative" outlets
don't want you to know. Many media agents are all too willing to say "end of
story!" Yet this is only the beginning of the story and it is explosive. The
source of the new information is the very well respected
SPIEGEL Magazine Online Version.
(English translation)
What
was the motivation of the video crews whose first impulse, immediately following
the terrorist attacks in N.Y. and D.C., is to run over to the Palestinian areas
and tape some Palestinians. The video crews were from two press agencies,
Reuters and Associated Press. Is the motivation for getting video footage of
jubilant Palestinians the result of a biased outlook and an agenda they serve?
This is a question many are unwilling to ask. Are we to believe that who the
people were that made up the video crew is totally irrelevant? It becomes
crucial to our search for the truth when we learn that the video was actually
staged and that the handful of Palestinians (mostly children) were posed in
reaction to the video crews presence and enjoyed the sweets customarily handed
out.
Why did the Media show these images over and over
again while they were silent about others?
Were
there other videos and pictures that the media could have presented after the
9/11 attacks? In New Jersey, 5 Israelis
(Sivan Kurzberg, Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Shmuel,
Oded Ellner and Omer Marmari) were taking video or photos of themselves
smiling with the World Trade Center
burning in the background. These men were
arrested and their cameras were seized. I have seen videos and pictures seized
by police shown on TV before, why not in this case? One photograph that the
Israelis took was developed by the FBI showed Sivan Kurzberg holding a lighted
lighter in the foreground, with the smoldering wreckage in the background, said
Steven Noah Gordon, a lawyer for the five Israelis. Why wasn't the American
public treated to the images of Israelis celebrating RIGHT HERE AMONG US? Why
did mainstream media not show their images at the time? (It took MONTHS before
it was even mentioned on mainstream TV and when it finally was mentioned the
pictures of the Israelis were still not shown. When it was mentioned it was in
the context of explaining it away, they broadcast the lawyers excuse that it was
simply immaturity! No such explanation was given for the Palestinians who were
for the most part literally immature because they were actually children. The
Israelis were adult men here in our country.) The mainstream media didn't even
want to tell the television viewers that Israelis were celebrating and had been
arrested after a witness called police. "They were like happy, you know ... They
didn't look shocked to me. I thought it was very strange," the witness said
about the celebrating Israelis.
A
"Be On the Lookout" police report said, "Three individuals with van were seen
celebrating after initial impact and subsequent explosion. FBI Newark Field
Office requests that, if the van is located, hold for prints and detain
individuals." "We got an alert to be on the lookout for a white Chevrolet van
with New Jersey registration and writing on the side," said Bergen County Police
Chief John Schmidig. "Three individuals
were seen celebrating in Liberty State Park after the impact.
They said three people were jumping up and down." All five were captured, so
authorities did have the videos and pictures of these guys. But we didn't see it
or hear about it at the time, the media focused on other things.
Unidentified
man shoves food in this woman's face.This Palestinian woman says she was shocked
to seein what context their rejoicing was shown.
The
full story, as yet unreported in America, is really startling. The people who
pulled off this public relations stunt know all too well the power TV pictures
have. As reported in Spiegel, "Politmagazin" panorama reported ten days
after the original airing of the video clips the fact that manipulations took
place. Annette Krueger Spitta explains "that is explosive material".
A
full viewing of the video tape reveals the games the video crew played.
They wanted video of celebrating Palestinians and that is what they orchestrated
in front of the camera. The full video clearly shows a few Palestinians jubilant
with many more pedestrians, indifferent to their "performances", hurrying past.
The Palestinian woman who was offered cake says she abhors the acts in New York
and Washington. The video clips the crew produced are intended for one purpose:
to deceive Americans into further support for
Israel. The point of the video clips (which if you think about it, was
insensitive to air right after the terrorists' attacks) is to make Palestinians
look bad. The pro-Israel group calling themselves "Honest Reporting" on its web
pag titled "Palestinian Celebrations" asked its readers to contact the media to
demand that they show even more of the Palestinians celebrating: "We encourage
you to contact local editors and producers, and demand that they show the videos
and publish the photographs." Why the need to run over to Palestinian areas and
start to video tape? What is the reaction of Palestinians when camera crews come
and people come handing out candy?
Almost universally on U.S. networks, anchors presented the footage as if it were
representative of all Palestinians, additionally failing to note any context to
the images. Who was doing what in the video and why does this get so much
play and a video that Israelis took of themselves right here in the metro area
gets no play in the days and weeks after 9/11. And why not give the context of
why some people might be happy. Perhaps Palestinians might like that the country
that supplies weapons that kill them and supports
the country that kills them took a hit. I would like to know what these
Israelis were so happy about.
