The saga of the 'Palestinian celebration tape' goes on...

"Celebrating" Palestinians manufactured for video http://members.tripod.com/thinkagaintv/Palestinianscelebrating.html

An article in the online version of German magazine Der Spiegel suggests that the media used food bribes to induce the Palestinians to celebrate in the video shot on 9/11 and shown on CNN.

BIG MEDIA SERVES UP ANOTHER LIE

A commentator on the 'Der Speigel' article writes, "I, like you, sat in front of the TV and was presented with images of Palestinians "celebrating" the terrorism of 9/11/01. I was even treated to a slow motion version with an accompanying song that instructed viewers that "You got to be taught to hate." Then I was presented with "information" ( via the Internet ) that the images were old and videotaped back in 1991. And after that ( As if it was the FINAL WORD on this topic! ) I was "informed" that the video was not from 1991. OK, the argument has been made that the video is not from 1991 ( BUT I find it all too convenient how this is supposed to be the end of ANY inquiry. )

"Sure enough 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)"

We should question the motives 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 (AP). 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 treats of food that they were offered. Who were the people in the video crew; Americans, Europeans, Arabs, Jews, and/or Zionists? Are we allowed to ask or know the full story here? What television viewers got to see ( over and over again ) was just a few seconds from the tape which actually contains about four minutes.

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, abhors the acts in New York and Washington. She was shocked to see how the video of her enthusiastically reacting to cake was used. The video clips shown to Americans have the man with the cake edited out in order to create a false impression. 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. And to further show their lack of respect for American viewers, the networks are STILL NOT REPORTING the truth about these video clips. Big Media cannot claim that they can't present this story on television ( an often used excuse when they don't want Americans to know about something. ) This deception is documented on video, all honest reporters have to do is view the whole tape and show it on TV. But that would mean exposing lies that they would rather not.
