No biggie.

That doesn't rate as news anywhere outside of Israel, so it must not be happening.

...Who and what is most important in the minds of Israeli leadership and who or what is most important in the minds of Palestinian leadership.

In Gaza -- the people ARE the shelters

Just sayin'

perhaps they should build some shelters right? oh wait maybe dig holes in the sand?

but your clever reply speaks volumes about the depth of concern for Palestinians thank you

Hamas targeted civilians, women, children -- the IDF targeted the shoooters.

You want to claim a moral equivalency? Again?

cause I've been told that IDF did a targeted assassination on a group that was supposedly planning to stage an attack from Sinai and BTW none of them were Hamas

...an attack. Is that correct?

That's why there are 0 dead civilians and 16 terrorists killed, a feat that western forces have far more difficulty doing.

That's why Hamasniks and Islamic Jihadists hide among civilians by calling out for shields to come to terrorist targets in order to stop the IAF.

Are you disappointed that there are no dead Palestinian civilians?

on edit: that's sarcasm, btw.

... of air attacks with no visible injuries or a trace of blood on them.

Zionist secret weapon?

Though you'll probably get some nibbles of agreement from True Believers...

... no purpose OTHER than propaganda. I think it is incredibly odd they only show an unharmed patient. The photographer couldn't move back a few inches?

Now you've built it up into 'an unharmed patient'. You've got some medical expertise that the doctors there and everyone else doesn't? Otherwise, it's just coming across as a particularly clumsy and ugly attempt to get some BS rolling...

... I think it wouldn't be too far-fetched to call shenanigans on this one.

Oh, I'm quite aware that there's some who rush at every opportunity to label just about any photo of Palestinians as a set-up. They'd be the first whining to high heaven if the tables were turned and people started labelling photos of injured or dead Israelis as set-ups. I even bet there'd be a thicker torrent of accusations of antisemitism flying round as well!

From the guidelines -- pinned to the top of the forum

"Do not embed graphics or photographs of any kind into your messages. Maps or statistical graphs are okay."

In case you haven't been noticing, there's been plenty of OPs and posts with not only images, but photos in them. If you have an issue with them, alert on them and take yr chances with a jury...

The more I look at it, the more suspicious it gets

Just a few things...

If those are EKG leads on the kids chest, they're in the wrong place -- one is on the base of the heart (over the aorta) the other over his right lung.

The patient has BOTH what appears to be an oro-pharyngeal airway (attached to the ambu bag) AND an oro-pharyngeal suction catheter. Unless he's just holding tubes in his mouth, it's going to get awfully crowded in that kid's throat.

If that is an automated BP cuff on his right arm, where are the leads? They should come from the bottom of the cuff to the monitor. Also, that's not a pediatric cuff (it's too large for him, coming past his elbow). Which means his BP will be reading much lower than actual.

No gloves on the "docs" -- with a trauma patient? What about chain of infection?

What is the guy in the background doing? Holding a bottle of saline? He's not preparing a bag or a push.

All the equipment seems to be turned off.

But I'm calling bullshit on what yr claiming because I've had EKG thingys on recently and they were in exactly the same place.

Sorry, but I find the habit some zealoted 'supporters' of Israel have of trying to make out that Palestinians are abject liars who invent everything to be a bit sickening. Especially since children have actually been killed in the conflict, and no amount of crap thrown by pro-Israeli zealots can make that fact go away...

I said there are zealoted pro-Israeli types who make out the Palestinians are liars who set-up photos of injuries and stuff. What bit of that didn't you understand?

... set up photos of fake injuries before -- one well-publicized example is a "corpse" falling off his stretcher and getting back on. The Internet is rife with other examples.

If they've done it before, is it inconceivable that they'd do it again?

After all, they've been known to lie in the past. I bet you won't use the same 'logic' as you just did when it comes to Israelis. Only Palestinians get the 'special' treatment from some here...

... the next time the IDF produce a propaganda picture of an "unharmed" victim of terror -- I'll be more than happy to treat it with skepticism.
