IDF on Bil’in: spins, half-truths, lies

Edited on Tue Jan-04-11 02:04 PM by Lithos

Jawaher Abu-Rahmah of Bil’in was rushed to Ramallah hospital last Friday during an unarmed protest against the fence in her village. She passed away Saturday morning. Her death gained relatively the relatively wide publicity her death got, the IDF began pushing its own version of the story, first claiming that Abu-Rahamh took part in a violent riot, and later saying she wasn’t even there, and the whole thing was a Palestinian hoax.

1. Thanks for this. But it's not the way the game is played on this forum

If the Jerusalem Post or CAMERA publish it, it's considered irrefutable truth.

Anything else written or published, including the reports of virtually every human rights organization involved in monitoring the situation, is "vilification" and "delegitimization".
