This was not staged. I still don't know what the cameramen were trying to do by moving him over from the corner he was in. But essentially, the whole original claim by Rotter.net concerning a staging is simply false. I revert back to my original opinion, which you can find posted way back on <a href="http://www.israellycool.com/blog/_archives/2005/6/30/986169.html#325093" rel="nofollow">June 30th</a>.

The photographers aren't pointing for him to lie in a certain spot. This series of shots is the same as in the video when he is falling down. It wasn't taken before or after, it was taken as the boy is passing out. The photographers are reaching out because he is falling - they aren't pointing.

Please explain the meaning of the photos showing cameramen coaching the Arab into position. Go ahead - concoct something. Shy Guy Here’s a quote from your blog Scotty:

Has anyone ever heard of journalists cooperating like that with Israel to reveal the identity of Palestinian lynchers of Jews? Not bloody likely. In fact, I recall the Italian RAI television apologising to Arafat for airing the footage of the infamous Ramallah lynch and thus unwittingly giving away the identities of people involved.

I didn't say the photos were concocted, I said your story was. The photos are real, they just depict something different than what you say they show, and the video proves this. And yes, I trackback. It's a courtesy even amongst those with whom you disagree. scott <a href="http://angrywhitekid.blogs.com/weblog" rel="nofollow">Angry White Kid</a> Shy Guy,

These new photos, which he never saw before, are concocted, he says. They have to be, the logic goes, because we all saw what happened a few days ago from a much more closed in angle and after the above photos were taken, says Trash. Aha. But the stupedist thing Trash could have done was to backtrack. Thanks, junior! Shy Guy Did you see what Angy White Trash wrote on his site?
