This is an amazing story. The crazy supporters of the palastinians will do anything to make the Israelis bad to the world. The trouble is that these pictures are from an explosion caused by hamas in 2005!
War is Deceit, and French public television is lending a hand. "French TV claims photos from 2005 showed damage from Israel's Gaza operation," from Haaretz, January 6:
French public television network France 2 on Tuesday revealed they had aired photographs that allegedly showed destruction caused by the Israel Air Force during Operation Cast Lead, which were in fact taken during a different incident in 2005, one in which Gaza civilians were killed by an explosion caused by militants in the Strip.
The footage aired on Channel 2 on Tuesday afternoon showed dozens of dead bodies, including Hamas gunmen and citizens, which the channel said were killed by an IAF bombing raid on January 1st. It later came to light that the channel had instead aired footage of the devastation caused after a truck full of explosives blew up in the Jabaliya Refugee Camp.
It's much easier to air a hollow apology after the damage is done than to ensure accurate reporting in the first place:
A news editor at France 2 told Le Figaro Tuesday that they had "made a mistake by airing those pictures, which he said depict events from 2005.
