Hezbollywood? Evidence Mounts that Qana Collapse and Deaths were Staged

Lebanese rescue teams did not start evacuating the building
until the morning and only after the camera crews came. The
absence of a real rescue effort was explained by saying that
equipment was lacking. There were no scenes of live or
injured people being extracted.

There was little blood, CNN's Wedeman noted: all the
victims, he concluded, appeared to have died while as they
were sleeping -- sleeping, apparently, through thunderous
Israeli air attacks. Rescue workers equipped with cameras
were removing the bodies from the same opening in the
collapsed structure. Journalists were not allowed near the
collapsed building.

Rescue workers filmed as they went carried the victims on
the stretchers, occasionally flipping up the blankets so
that cameras could show the faces and bodies of the dead.

But Israelis steeled to scenes of carnage from Palestinian
suicide bombings and Hezbollah rocket attack could not help
but notice that these victims did not look like our victims.
Their faces were ashen gray. While medical examination
clearly is called for to arrive at a definitive dating and
cause of their deaths, they do not appear to have died hours
before. The bodies looked like they had been dead for days.

Viewers can judge for themselves. But the accumulating
evidence suggests another explanation for what happened at
Kana. The scenario would be a setup in which the time
between the initial Israeli bombing near the building and
morning reports of its collapse would have been used to
"plant" bodies killed in previous fighting -- reports in
previous days indicated that nearby Tyre was used as a
temporary morgue -- place them in the basement, and then
engineer a "controlled demolition" to fake another Israeli
attack.

The well-documented use by Palestinians of this kind of
faked footage -- from the alleged shooting of Mohammed Dura
in Gaza, scenes from Jenin of "dead" victims falling off
gurneys and then climbing back on -- have merited the
creation of a new film genre called "Palliwood."

There is increasing evidence that the Kana sequel is another
episode in this genre, a variety which might be called
Hezbollywood. The Hezbollah have evidently learned their
craft well.

The current suspension of Israeli military air activity is
supposedly intended, among other things, to be used for the
investigation of what really happened at Qana. It is to be
hoped that there are real journalists on the scene, and
unbiased medical examiners, who will have the courage and
intelligence to sort out the anomalies and contradictions,
and get to the buried truth of what happened.

There is no shortage of victims in Lebanon and Israel these
days. From this vantage point, at this time, it looks like
in the case of Qana, the world's media was duped in a cruel
and colossal hoax by a terror organization that knows no
moral bounds in its exploitation of suffering and
anti-Israel hatred. But, as usual, the only party expected
to pay the full price will be Israelis.

Yes, it would be a Hollywood ending for it all to end in
Qana, exactly as it did a decade ago. But perfect endings,
and perfect crimes, are rarely pulled off in real life.

Israelis will not be able to investigate this claim
directly. The question remains whether honest men and women
of other nationalities will let this likely lie stand or
press for the revelation of the improbable and inconvenient
truth.
