Israeli’s Kill 40, would you believe 20 ?, would you believe just 1????
Original article, Prime Minister of Lebanon calling it a “massacre”:
BEIRUT (Reuters) – An Israeli air raid killed more than 40 people in a Lebanese village on Monday, Lebanon’s prime minister said, and other air strikes killed 19 after diplomatic efforts to end the 27-day-old war stalled.
“An hour ago, a horrific massacre took place in Houla village as a result of the intentional Israeli bombardment that resulted in more than 40 martyrs,” Prime Minister Fouad Siniora told an emergency Arab foreign ministers meeting in Beirut.
Residents of Houla said they feared up to 60 people, including many children, had been killed. They said most of the people were shepherds who had refused to flee the fighting.
Just 3 hours later, the PM of Lebanon changes his story slightly:
The Lebanese prime minister says only one person died in an Israeli air raid on the southern village of Houla, lowering the death toll from 40.
I know what you are thinking, why didn’t I link the entire article on the retraction like I did with the original story above. Well, there is no reason to link to the article, the 2 sentences IS the entire article. You see, in the world of anti-semitism, 40 fake deaths gets 3 pages for an article, the retraction with only 1 person really dead, gets you 2 lines.
