Staged casualties

There are many complaints aimed at Israel from holier-than-thou liberals in the West: That Israel is aggressive, after all we only waited 8 years before responding to Hamas firing rockets into our territory in order to kill and maim our citizens.
That Israel is killing mainly civilians, or actually targeting women and children. But, of course all casualty figures coming out of Gaza are Hamas controlled and are unverified by any neutral agency, but are nevertheless repeated without verification by the media and by the British Foreign Minister. The IDF figures are more reliable, as they have been before, although some might not think so, time will tell. They agree that just over 1,000 people have been killed in 22 days of fighting, but according to the IDF, 75% of them were Hamas fighters, while 25% of them were civilians. Hamas says that 25% alone were children and another 25% were other civilians. But, this just doesn't make sense given that there is intense fighting going on and most of the casualties in IDF fights are young men, and the IDF definitely do not target children! And Gaza is not that crowded.
We see graphic pictures all day long of people dying and blood, of children being carried into hospitals. Do you know how many of them are true or faked? If you don't believe that Hamas and others fake such pictures you are very naieve. For example...
An example of how Hamas propaganda is fooling the media. Warning: unclear quality & quite gruesome. http://content.plymedia.com/content/bubbleply/plyPlayer.swf?isAutoplay=false&plyID=b78bf138-5900-451b-9a34-0d0045d4e8fe

A doctor comments: "I'm no military expert, but I am a doctor, and this video is b******t. The chest compressions that were being performed at the beginning of this video were absolutely, positively fake. The large man in the white coat was NOT performing CPR on that child. He was just sort of tapping on the child's sternum a little bit with his fingers. You can't make blood flow like that. Furthermore, there's no point in doing chest compressions if you're not also ventilating the patient somehow. " Note that they say the boy is dead, but still try reviving him...bad acting.

CNN have since pulled this video. More at: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/32393_A_Staged_Scene_in_a_Gaza_Hospital_-_Update-_CNN_Yanks_Video

So you see some of the videos you are watching and accepting at face value are faked, they are playing with your sympathy. Why, because they know that they can on the basis of previous evidence, for example, the so-called "Jenin Massacre" that never was, because of the Mohammed Dura incident that has been proven to be a hoax, because of the instances in Lebanon where a man was both a live Ambulance driver and a dead civilian, because of the dead children who then moved, because of the bomb clouds that were duplicated to make the shot appear worse than it was, because of the faked Israeli rockets in Lebanon that were cardboard, etc. etc.. These show a consistent pattern of Palestinian faking and acting for the international press that lap this up, remember "if it bleeds it leads." But, this attitude is definitely biased, since Israel does not allow the cameras into hospitals and operating rooms, so there is less blood to show, and we try to keep our children safe in shelters. And when there is an Israeli casualty there are fewer cameras there to record it. Every civilian casualty is a tragedy, especially children, but don't be fooled by fake Hamas propaganda.
