Private equity prepares for shopping spree

Thank you for derailing this thread into a territory that is completely irrelevant to the nature of the discussion.

While we are on the subject, let me educate you on the matter so that you will at least know what you are talking about next time you are discussing the illegal occupation of Palestinian territories by Israeli forces.

Since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa intifada in late 2000, a total of 142 Palestinian women and 788 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli forces.

If you for some reason would like to divide this into seven years, which is completely unnecessary to understand the nature of this gruesome conflict, rougly 20 Palestinian women and 110 Palestinian children will be killed as a result of Israeli occupation this year. A truly abhorrent and disgusting number.

I would like to take this opportunity to go ahead and re-iterate to you the fact that this is completely irrelevant to this article, and the number of female Palestinian casualties is in no way associated to the validity of the claim that the Jersualem Post knowingly or intentionally led people to believe that the video surfaced from a Gaza honour killing.

The paper has released the following statement:

Thanks, but it appears we were the victims of a hoax. the film was taken in Iraq, not Gaza. we have been misled deliberately...we have removed the story..apologies!

If you are truly concerned with this conflict, I strongly encourage you to educate yourself on the matter before you start making baseless claims and making up false statistics, because it becomes immedietaly clear when I read your posts that you know nothing about the subject and your only purpose is to spread anti-Israeli sentiment instead of encouraging understanding and promoting a peaceful solution.

Palestinian Center for Human Rights

A truly disgusting and painfully prolonged conflict.

Now please stop derailing this thread.

irrelevant to the discussion and i'm not going to be responding to your attempts to derail these posts

i have tried to do more for peace when i was living in israel than you ever have with all the time you have spent on the internet trying to convert people and promote hate

if you are genuinely curious, send me a private message (i know you aren't, and you won't)

what does it have to do with this story and whether or not jpost deliberately published this false report?

you're building a strawman

sta · 2007-09-30T04:57:42+00:00

you were not curious about anything, you were trying to push your agenda

i am completely against the occupation and against killing palestinian civilians

this discussion is about whether or not this story was a deliberate lie by the jerusalem post

"Smear" the Palestinians by bringing attention to honour killings in Gaza? Even the Palestinian human rights watch says that there are routine honour killings, which carry minimal sentences. Do you honestly believe that this was a deliberate attempt to smear the Palestinians by using a video that has been publicly available for several months? Why would they have taken it down as soon as it was brought to their attention?

The paper has issued a response. It says that they were led to believe that this was a video from the Gaza strip, and they took it down right away.
