The French! Our Friends!

While Chirac shows compassion in the face of the tsunami disaster by keeping the French navy in port and bravery in the face of the seething Islamofascism at home by banning head scarves in school, comes this:

French state-owned television is using what some call intimidation and threatened libel lawsuits to quiet calls for an investigation of TV images that showed the alleged shooting of a Palestinian boy by Israeli soldiers in 2000.

The video from the TV channel France 2 has become famous around the world as a symbol for the current Palestinian intifada (uprising) and shows a boy trying to take shelter behind a man during a gun battle in September 2000 between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers at the Netzarim junction in the Gaza Strip.

Independent media analysts in France and Israel have provided what they call conclusive evidence that the video of the incident was staged and at least one member of the French Assembly has called for an official investigation of the episode, but France 2 has so far refused to undertake a comprehensive inquiry.

Never let facts, or even questions, stand in the way of producing a "news" bit that can attack Americans or Jooooos, especially the ones from that "shitty little country"

When the Islamofacists get the upperhand in France and start setting fire to the vineyards and enforcing burkas on the fashion runways, watch me yawn.

I wish I could say I was surprised by anything the French did. Unfortunately with the crap about the AP abetting executions in Iraq (albeit for great / gruesome pictures) we're seeing how the media can be manipulated for anyone's purposes. The French just do it with elan :)

- The Fwenchies moment in the firepit is acomin'...That 5 million+ Muslim population they keep in segragation and abject squalor will be one of the last bastions of the Islamofacists when things are settled in the middle east... Every day new reports of clashes leak out of the limited non-liberal press sources with many Muslims afraid to even go out on the streets at night for fear of being kidnapped and raped by roving bands of French gangs...3 Muslim school teachers were raped and defiled with hate comments painted on their foreheads and bodies just a few months ago... Several murders have gone uninvestigated in the past few months.....Mosques and business's have been torched and firebombed... At some point you can bet they'll start striking back.... bon appitite'
