Now that a couple of days have passed since the Israeli air raid in Qana by Israel that allegedly killed over 50 people including 35 children, what have we learned about the incident?
What I have learned is that there are more questions than answers about the incident, and that things may not be as they appear. For instance:
1) There seems to be a time discrepancy between when the air raid took place and when the building actually fell. Reports now being seen by the public state that the building fell 6-8 hours after it was hit by Israeli missiles, and the news goups on hand only started reporting the story after the building fell. Why the time discrepancy? And why were there still people in the building 6-8 hours later when the building fell, which is what caused all the deaths.
2) The "rescue worker" holding up baby corpses for the cameras has been identified as the same "rescue worker" who held up dead baby corpses for the cameras back in 1996 when Israeli missiles killed 100 in another air raid in Qana. Is this just a coincidence?
3) If the collapse of the building is the cause of death of the dead women and children in Qana, why were the corpses exhibiting a state of advanced rigor mortis... as if they had been dead for days, not hours?
4) Why did photos show a sparkling-clean pacifier on the corpse of a baby who covered head-to-toe in dust?
5) Where were all the men? All the corpses found were women and children. Where are the corpses of the men? If the building targeted by Israel was merely a civillian residential building, why were there no men in the building? Were all the husbands and fathers at work during the nightime hours? Why were there no men in the building at the time it collapsed, 8 hours after the bombs fell, if there were so many women and children in the building? Why no men?
None of this is proof that the Qana incident was staged, and I'm not actually sure whether it was or not. But it does raise some interesting questions. And given the fact that the Islamofascists have a history of making up massacres that never occured in order to get media sympathy (anybody remember the Jenin Massacre that never happened?), it behooves us to ask questions and verify information before jumping to conclusions about these events.
