The al-Dura hoax

It's been a while since I've written about the Mohamed al-Dura hoax, but I've just finished watching a fascinating debate on the Michael Coren show out of Canada. I wasn't able to embed it, but you can find the show (it's about 47 minutes long) here. It features Phillippe Karsenty, the French media analyst who has won two court cases against France 2 and Jonathan Dahoah HaLevi of Israel's foreign ministry on the Israeli side, and 'Palestinian' activist Elias Hazineh and photo-journalist Jon Elmer on the 'Palestinian' side.

The highlight is undoubtedly a claim by Hazineh that the reason we see no blood on Mohamed al-Dura's supposedly dead body is that little boys don't have much blood so it all dried up!

CAMERA has more about the show here, which is where I got it.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
