Real Photo Fakers

Real War Crimes

By JONATHAN COOK

Nazareth.

During Israel's war against the people of Lebanon, our media, politicians and diplomats have colluded with the aggressors by distracting us with irrelevancies, by concocting controversies, and by framing the language of diplomacy. In the fragile truce that is currently holding while Lebanon waits for Israel to withdraw, we are simply getting more of the same.

One example of the many distractions during the war that neatly reveals their true purpose is the \"faked Reuters photograph\" affair. The supposed scandal of a Lebanese photographer tampering with a picture to add and darken smoke from an Israeli missile attack -- to little or no effect, it should be noted -- has not only been decried by activists on Zionist websites but amplified by mainstream commentators into a debate about whether we can trust the images of this war.

Who benefits from these doubts? If we cannot be sure that this one photograph is genuine, then maybe many more that purportedly show some of the 1,000 Lebanese civilians killed by Israel's bombardment are fake too. Maybe the dead have been airbrushed in as easily as a puff of smoke. Maybe too, were the smoke removed, we would still be able to see that Israel has \"the most moral army in the world\".

The far worse photography scandal, which is not talked about, is that the images of the war we saw over the past month in our Western media were constantly doctored, day in, day out. Not by ordinary photographers who risk their lives, and hope to make their fortunes, conveying the reality of war, but by the senior executives of newspapers and TV stations who ensure we are never presented with that reality. Pictures were binned or cropped if they hinted at what suffering and death truly looked like. Western audiences were not shown the row of charred corpses lying in the street, or the agony of a son pressing a scrap of cloth to the severed arm of his mother as she bled to death, or the crushed baby pulled from the rubble.

Our news and picture editors say this is about good taste. They justify their decisions on the grounds that we should not exploit the victims of war by showing pornographic images of their death -- a useful excuse as we can never know what the dead would have chosen. More significantly, however, the exclusion of meaningful images of the human cost of war protects us from understanding the appalling consequences of Israel's military actions, an onslaught sanctioned and supported by our Western media, politicians and diplomats, and indirectly by our taxes.

How long would Israel's war have been allowed to continue if American audiences had seen those charred bodies or dead babies? How long would most Western viewers have remained silent if they were exposed to the kind of images shown daily on the Arabic satellite channels? Might we then start to understand why they hate us -- and more usefully why we should hate ourselves?

Much the same purpose has been satisfied in the diplomatic arena by the endless debates about whether Israel's offensive was \"disproportionate\" -- a word that raises a yawn almost the second it is uttered -- rather than whether it was necessary. And by the controversy initiated by the United Nations' Jan Egeland about the \"cowardly blending\" of Hizbullah fighters among Lebanese civilians, a comment he made while in Jerusalem, not Beirut, based on evidence he has never divulged. It is truly astonishing that the world's representative on humanitarian affairs made most impact in this war -- one in which more than 1,000 Lebanese were killed and in which hundreds of thousands more were made homeless -- trying to hold Hizbullah to account for the thousands of Israeli air strikes on civilian areas of Lebanon. Such is the upside-down logic and morality of our leaders.

And we are in the same territory again with the current discussions about how Lebanon and Israel will be rebuilt after the fighting. Reconstruction -- another word that provokes instant boredom -- fits the bill perfectly: both nations, we are told, will need billions of dollars to repair the damage done to their infrastructure. The story of astronomical losses conveys reassuringly to us a sense both of technical problems that will eventually be solved and of the ultimate symmetry and justice in the suffering of these two nations. Both peoples face a terrible financial burden imposed by war, both are equally deserving of our sympathy.

But let us pause. How precisely are these two nations' material losses equivalent? Israel's derive mostly from the enormous costs of its attacks on Lebanon, the tens of thousands of missiles fired into its towns and villages, that killed mostly civilians, and damage to the tanks, helicopters and warships that were the machinery needed to invade another sovereign country. Most of the rest of the cost will follow from losses in tourism revenue and investment, the consequences of a fall in confidence caused by Israel waging an unnecessary war for the return of two soldiers captured by Hizbullah rather than engage in negotiations. A small share of Israel's lost billions has been inflicted by the aggression of Hizbullah.

The material damage done to Lebanon is in a different category altogether. The bombed roads and bridges, the tens of thousands of homes in ruins, the destroyed power stations, factories and petrol stations, the oil slick across much of the Lebanese coast are the direct result of Israel's campaign of precision bombing of Lebanese civilian infrastructure.

Think of how your local court might consider the respective claims of these two nations if this were a domestic dispute between neighbors. Would a judge view with any sympathy a claim from a man demanding compensation from his neighbour for the damage done to his expensive sledgehammer after a destructive rampage through the neighbor's home, as well as for the loss of his reputation that followed the attack, as he found himself cast as the neighborhood pariah? Would it make any difference if it could be proved that his neighbor had sworn provocatively at him before he went on his rampage?

Incredibly, a similar claim may yet be heard -- and possibly sympathetically -- by the US civil courts if Israeli lawyers succeed in bringing a case for damages against the Lebanese government.

But all of this, like the \"faked photograph affair\", is another layer of distraction. The real issue that should be the most pressing matter at the top of the world's agenda is not an assessment of the mutual crimes against property but the mostly one-sided crimes against human beings -- the massive Israeli war crimes that have been committed throughout the past month in Lebanon, whose effects will continue as cluster bombs blow up returning refugees, and are still being committed every day against the Palestinians of Gaza and the West Bank.

This urgent moral case is being quietly overlooked in favor of the material damages story, and for reasons not hard to discern. Because if we concentrated on the tally of war crimes, Israel would come out the undoubted winner in both Lebanon and Gaza.

Every morning we had discussed where they had been the night before and how much damage they had inflicted. We had discussed whom they had arrested and who had managed to escape. We had listened with utmost sympathy to the stories of those caught in the apartment blocks that were being searched: to the women who had no time to cover themselves decently, to their husbands taken in nightdress and without shoes.\r\n\r\nWe had listened to the explosions from neighboring areas of Ramallah and had wondered not if but when our street would be targeted.\r\n\r\nIt was on August 14 at 2 am.\r\n\r\nThe only warning we received was a phone-call 10 seconds before the army arrived, telling us that the Israelis were at the Legislative Council, 5 minutes away.\r\n\r\nWe were still up as my flat-mate was traveling at 5:30 am and we were packing and talking about visa issues and what to do if her visa was denied.\r\n\r\nThe phone call and then the horrible sound of 10 jeeps and 2 tanks and an arrest-van.\r\n\r\nAnd instant spotlights and shooting and explosions.\r\n\r\nThen rocks hurled at our door (aren't Palestinian youths imprisoned for years for throwing rocks?), and four Israeli soldiers at the door with their faces painted and all pointing M-16's at our heads. They were shouting at us in Hebrew, ordering us outside.\r\n\r\nWe decided that we would distract them if we could to give any poor hunted man as much time as possible to escape.\r\n\r\nWe also gave the neighbors some relief by giving voice to their anger; a privilege for which they would have been shot.\r\n\r\nThe soldiers of the two jeeps at our doorstep got sick of dealing with us after 10 minutes and as flares exploded over our heads and heavy gun-fire filled the open paddock next to our house, they began to shout at us to get inside.\r\n\r\nWe went in and sat on the verandah overlooking the paddock in the spotlight of three other jeeps while soldiers raked the field with bullets. They were shouting at the empty field in the vain and arrogant belief that some wanted man would suddenly appear and they would receive the promotion for his capture. We were shouting back.\r\n\r\nThey said "come out!" so we did.\r\n\r\nWe went back down the stairs and told the jeep stationed outside that we were being called by the soldiers in the next street. They started to shout at us that the soldiers were not telling us to come out but we assured them that it must be us they were shouting at, because if any person had been hiding in the empty field he would long since have been murdered.\r\n\r\nThe soldiers were furious at our interruption and for this we were glad.\r\n\r\nWhen we knew that we had pushed them as far as we could in the circumstances and realized that our knees were shaking so much that they were about to give way beneath us, we went back inside to collapse on the lounge in tears, wondering if there was actually some man bleeding to death in the field that we could not reach.\r\n\r\nFor another hour the jeeps and tanks circled round and round our block. Shooting barrages of machine-gun fire and throwing explosives into every shrub and bush.\r\n\r\nAnd then they departed.\r\n\r\nThey had not caught anyone and for that we were also glad.\r\n\r\nThe next hour passed in deathly quiet. It was strange to sit in the dark and know that everyone else in the street was doing exactly the same as us. Sitting up, sleepless and silent, afraid, waiting for the daylight to bring some normalcy back into a night-marish situation.\r\n\r\nAn hour passed. In a half sleep I heard a sound outside the window and rushed to see what was there. It was a strange sound and I couldn't work out what sort of devise Israel was using to produce such a singular noise.\r\n\r\nAs I stood perplexed at the window I suddenly realized that the sound was a bird singing; welcoming the first light of the day. It was sitting in the tree outside the window, hoping from branch to branch, and singing. Actually singing!\r\n\r\nI wondered then at how I was becoming conditioned to the inhuman situation here, I was actually mistaking the singing of a bird for some strange weapon of Israel's. And I realized how much I missed the simple joy of listening to the Australian "morning chorus" as we call it; the great cacophony of sound that no one can sleep through, that you curse every morning but love none-the-less. The sound of the freest creatures on earth celebrating that freedom.\r\n\r\nThere is no freedom in Ramallah. The West Bank and Gaza are prisons, and this is the reason many people have given for the inability of the Palestinian resistance movement to achieve even the sort of uncertain cease-fire that Hezbollah has managed to achieve in Lebanon.\r\n\r\nPeople here are talking about this and are asking how Hezbollah has been able to enforce this cessation of hostilities when Palestine has been unable to do it for half a century.\r\n\r\nLast night I talked with two Palestinian friends about this and they described to me in geographical terms the main difference between the Hezbollah resistance and that of Palestine.\r\n\r\n"Here" one said "is Palestine" and he placed on the table two cigarette packets and two lighters forming a square, "in the center. Here" and he pointed to one packet at the edge of the square "is Hezbollah. What is behind Hezbollah? Nothing. They are fighting Israel and America face to face and behind them is open fields, and Syria and other Arab States.\r\n\r\nBut here is Palestine. Surrounded on all sides. They are not fighting only in front of them, but on every side, the enemy is behind them and even among them. This feeling of imprisonment and lack of support has ground away at the resistance movement here until it has become nothing more than isolated cells of militants who are not even supported by their own families.\r\n\r\nHave you seen the wanted men, our freedom fighters, who are homeless?\r\n\r\nEven their families are afraid to associate with them.\r\n\r\nHave you seen them when they are alone, and the full weight of their situation hits them?\r\n\r\nI have seen them, crying like a child.\r\n\r\nThis is how Israel has been winning the war against Palestine.\r\n\r\nDividing the people and terrorizing them so much that they can not even trust their cousins; half the population of Palestine are collaborators; they are collaborators because they have been broken by Israeli forces.\r\n\r\nSo while there were celebrations in Al-Minara on the day of the cease-fire there was also a very clear awareness that Hezbollah's victory will not serve the Palestinian struggle in any way except to assure them again that without the backing of Arab States this struggle is doomed to continue in the insidious and bloody way that it has been continuing for many years.\r\n\r\nAnd not just the backing of Arab States will help them. As my friend concluded; "Hezbollah is indirectly supported by France and Palestinian resistance is not supported by any western nation."\r\n\r\nSo a certain sadness envelops the city of Ramallah. A city that has been caught on the edge of a crisis which has been in the international spotlight, while experiencing nightly crisis' on a smaller scale that fail to register on any international screen.\r\n\r\nThe people of the West Bank are still prisoners, as they have been for a long time.\r\n\r\nThe only thing the Palestinians have to counter the nightly invasions and terror tactics of the Israeli forces is their song of freedom.\r\n\r\nStill to be heard if you remember to listen for it.\r\n\r\nDespite the humiliation and the mistrust and the tangled web of conspiracy that exists in the West Bank and Gaza, there is still absolute dignity in the resistance of individuals here. I do not agree with my friend who says that the resistance has been reduced to little cells of desperate militants always looking over their shoulders; the resistance is also to be found among musicians who hold weekly concerts for free to sing the traditional heart-breaking songs of Palestine, it is also to be found among the teachers of the fatherless or motherless children who work to daily bring some joy and learning into their lives, it is even among the bus drivers who will drive impossible roads to help some passenger avoid a flying checkpoint.\r\n\r\nAnd those little pure messengers of freedom have not forgotten these people. They still wake and sing at dawn to remind of the world existing beyond war and oppression and man-made instruments of torture.\r\n\r\nEliza Ernshire can be reached at eliza_ernshire@yahoo.co.uk","author":"Matityahu","parent_id":174717,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2006-08-20 14:59:38","modified":"2006-08-20 14:59:38","fileurl":""},{"id":175047,"heading":"(2nd try) PLEASE REMOVE FORGED POST!!","article":"If you want to post the list of those killed in the PA, please do it under your own name.\r\n\r\nNOTE TO LA.IMC MONITOR--Sat.

You have a blindness that interferes, meaning that your pro-Israel advocacy, like Becky's, is often *intrinsically* dishonest and\/or disgusting to the point of being *highly* offensive, but you never understand this. Probably the best example is dishonesty regarding Israel's obscene slaughter of children. There is **SOME** legitimacy to the point that many of the Palestinian teen victims are indeed functional combatants, but you make WAAAAY too much of this. Throwing rocks at tanks or at grown men in body armor carrying machine guns doesn't count, I don't give a fuck what you think. After factoring in every bit of legitimacy you can summon here, there is still NO COMPARISON: Israel remains far and away the greater villain. And yet you always seem to believe you've succeeded in tipping the moral scales in Israel's favor. This is DISGUSTING and OFFENSIVELY ARROGANT. You can't see it because what you're really doing is reciting DISGUSTING and OFFENSIVELY ARROGANT canned PR talking points you've absorbed from Israel's propaganda machine, which you devoutly accept as literally true. \r\n\r\nZionism, after all, is your religion, and zionist PR bullhorns your high priests. \r\n\r\nThe all-time most DISGUSTING and OFFENSIVELY ARROGANT example here is Becky's absolutely vile apologetics for the death of Iman al Hams. Don't even fucking start. Iman al Hams had no explosives, no weapons of any sort, on her person, which decisively blows that whole line of bullshit straight back into the hell it was conceived in (aka Jabotinsky Bullshit Central in Tel Aviv). The glib "polite" language Becky uses when saying this stuff does not diminish the vileness of her position one tiny bit. It is so fucking foul as to be analogous to a physical assault. It is the unveiled face of raw evil. \r\n\r\nWhichever zionist's nose it was that I wanted to grind shit into, I remember it was to retaliate for some position fully as foul as this, the stench of which was like shit shoved up my own nose\r\n\r\nSo when you say on the one hand that you want to engage in "reasonable discourse," but on the other reserve your right to "do so" in a way that is inherently obscene (because you WILL go there; you obviously don't even get it when you do that) what you're really doing is trying to STACK THE MORAL DECK in your favor, which is what your side is constantly striving to do in a thousand other ways as well.

In the United States among those people who call themselves supporters of Israel, we enter the area of unreason. We enter a twilight zone. American Jewish organizations, they're not only not up to speed yet with Steven Spielberg, they're still in the Leon Uris exodus version of history: the \u201cthis land is mine, God gave this land to me," and anybody who dissents from this, you can call it, lunatic version of history is then immediately branded an anti-Semite, and whenever Israel comes under international pressure to settle the conflict diplomatically, or when it is subjected to a public relations debacle, such as it was with the Second Intifada, a campaign is launched claiming there is a new anti-Semitism afoot in the world.\r\n\r\nThere is no evidence of a new anti-Semitism. If you go through all the literature, as I have, the evidence is actually in Europe, which is Dr. Ben-Ami's half-home ground, Spain, but throughout Europe, the evidence is, if you look at like the Pew Charitable Trust surveys, anti-Semitism has actually declined since the last time they did the surveys. They did it in 1991 and 2002. They said the evidence is that it's declined. And the same thing in the United States. What's called the \u201cnew anti-Semitism\u201d is anyone who criticizes any official Israeli policies. In fact, my guess is had people not known who wrote *Scars of War, Wounds of Peace*, that book would immediately be put on the A.D.L.'s list of verboten books, an example of anti-Semitism, because he says things like the Zionists wanted to transfer the Arabs out. That's anti-Semitism. It has nothing to do with the real world. It's a public relations extravaganza production to deflect attention from the facts, from the realities, and I think this afternoon in our exchange, there were some areas of disagreement for sure, but I think a lot of what Dr. Ben-Ami said would not go down well with most of American Jewry, and that's when they'll soon be charging him with being an anti-Semite.\r\n\r\n(snip)\r\n","author":"since you asked . . .","parent_id":174717,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2006-08-22 18:29:26","modified":"2013-11-11 00:43:47","fileurl":""},{"id":175271,"heading":"how so?","article":"how is he \r\n'wrong"?\r\nBecause you say so?","author":"Just the Facts, Mam...","parent_id":174717,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2006-08-22 18:53:42","modified":"2006-08-22 18:53:42","fileurl":""},{"id":175272,"heading":"Yuh drool, Yiddo said Finkastein's wruong, so I guess he must be wruong, uuuuhh","article":"Lurch-shuffle, yuh, dese really arnda droids we're loogin forr, yuh (wringing slobber out of shirt)\r\n\r\nUh, ever heard of an A*R*G*U*M*E*N*T Yidsky-buns?
