French court rules 'al-dura' can be called hoax

This ruling is a long over-due reversal of a libel judgment handed down in 2006.
The French Court of Appeals issued a ruling today favoring an activist who claims the purported shooting death of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy – used to spark the "Al Aqsa intifada," or uprising – was a hoax.

The court overturned a lower court decision against Jewish activist Philippe Karsenty, who had been convicted of libeling a French state-owned television channel and its Jerusalem correspondent, Charles Enderlin, the Jerusalem Post reported. Karsenty contended France 2 knowingly misled the world about the event in the Gaza Strip in September 2000.

The video of an apparently horrific firefight in which a 12 year old boy & his father were shot has been the subject of controversy for eight years. There is much evidence to conclude that the entire incident had been staged as propaganda to damn the Israeli Defense Forces.

In a similar vein, click here for an excellent video of the 2006 fauxtography scandal which shows how pervasive this anti-jewish bigotry & pro-philistine propaganda was is in the world's 'news' outlets.
