http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,34346,00.html The Palestinian Authority has warned journalists they might be in danger if they continue to use images of Arabs celebrating Tuesday's terrorist attacks ..... If it was old footage, I don't think Palestinian Authoritie's response was the same..

Very well, I guess all of you have been seeing (just as I've been) images from this company. In particular, one set of images called my attencion: the Palestinians celebrating the bombing, out on the streets, eating some cake and making funny faces for the camera. Well, THOSE IMAGES WERE SHOT BACK IN 1991!!! Those are images of Palestinians celebrating the invasion of Kuwait! It's simply unacceptable that a super-power of cumminications as CNN uses images which do not correspond to the reality in talking about so serious an issue. A teacher of mine, here in Brazil, has videotapes recorded in 1991, with the very same images; he's been sending emails to CNN, Globo (the major TV network in Brazil) and newspapers, denouncing what I myself classify as a crime against the public opinion. If anyone of you has access to this kind of files, search for it. In the meanwhile, I'll try to 'put my hands' on a copy of this tape. But now, think for a moment about the impact of such images. Your people is hurt, emotionally fragile, and this kind broadcast have very high possibility of causing waves of anger and rage against Palestinians. It's simply irresponsible to show images such as those. ____________ ------- End of forwarded message ------- De Balie Kleine gartmanplantsoen 10 1017 RR Amsterdam t 020 55 35 151 f 020 55 35 155 e lucas.evers () balie nl ______________________________________________________ * Verspreid via nettime-nl.
