Dear Friends,
Apparently, the YouTube Video I sent out yesterday titled - "RAW (Graphic): Scene After IDF Attack In Gaza 1/1/09" - was incorrectly labeled. It seems that it was actually from 2005 and was an accidental explosion of a Hamas truck carrying weapons - not an attack from Israel. You can read the message below from my friend and international peace activist, Yumi Kikuchi, who sent it to me. Below Yumi’s message is a message from Palestinian blogger Haitham Sabbah, who sent it out in the first place. I am sorry for not checking this more carefully before sending it to all of you. But what is happening to the people of Gaza and Palestine is horrific and a crime against humanity. Here is a different YouTube Video from ALJAJEELA titled: “More Children Killed as War on Gaza Continues” - http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=_gEBO-6VRjs Frank Dorrel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Message From: Yumi Kikuchi: yu...@fine.ocn.ne.jp Dear Friends, I am sorry the footage I sent was not from this year, but from 2005. And it was an accident of the bomb (explosion) by Hamas NOT BY Israel. Someone sent me as if it was this war in GAZA and I forwarded it without checking the information carefully myself. I am sorry for sending the wrong information to you all. Please forgive me. It is still true though civilians are killed and many are children. You can see many of those by ALJAJEELA: http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=_gEBO-6VRjs Yumi Kikuchi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This video was first published by exiled <http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2009/01/04/what-israel-dont-want-you-to-see/> Palestinian blogger Haitham Sabbah, on Jan 3, 2009. <http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2009/01/04/what-israel-dont-want-you-to-see> http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2009/01/04/what-israel-dont-want-you-to-see Here is his message about the video: Update: THIS VIDEO IS MISLEADING I was deceived by the video I grabbed and uploaded from <http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/9882> here. The video was not taken on January 1st 2009. It was not taken in a civilian market, and it was not the result of an IDF air strike. This video is from September 23rd 2005, and was taken in the Jabalya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip. A Hamas pick-up truck carrying Qassam rockets detonated by mistake during a Hamas rally, leaving at least 15 killed and dozens more injured.
