The old cliche says “a picture is worth 1000 words“. Or more if you are a terrorist group trying to sway public opinion to your side.

Faked Palestinian firefights with the Israelis (over at Jawa Report), the so called ‘Jenin massacre‘, the venerable old New York times staging pictures, staged pictures from Ramadi, fake pictures from the war in Afghanastan and Iraq and now the distinct possibility that the Qana collapse and deaths were faked.

It would be no surprise if the same people who launch indiscriminate rocket attacks on innocent civilians picked up some dis-information tips from their Palestinian neighbors. We have to understand that the forces opposed to us are not stupid; they recognize the power of the press, something that many of us seem to have forgotten. It is thanks to the internet and the blogging community that these tricks have been exposed. You aren’t going to see coverage like this or like this on the nightly news anytime soon.
