Israel, Suppressed Story Verified
Photo Accurate, Israel Lied Says French News Agency
AFP confirms veracity of debated Israeli abuse story
Agence France- Presse
Editor’s Note: Israel Caught Lying About Apartheid Abuse:
“Following the surfacing of the photos, the Israeli Embassy in Washington had asked all American newspapers “to consider ceasing to publish the photographs of Hazem Bader,” claiming both the caption and the photo of the injured worker were untrue and “perhaps staged.”
AFP (Agence France-Presse) agency responded to criticism over a Jan. 25 photo showing an Israeli Army soldier driving a truck over the leg of an injured Palestinian construction worker, saying both the story and photo were valid.
A recent press release by the news agency said “after several days of thorough research [...] AFP wishes to confirm the veracity of both the picture and the accompanying photo caption.”
Confirmed as Accurate, Evidence of Criminal Assault
Photos were taken by AFP photojournalist Hazem Bader during the Israeli soldiers’ attempts to stop Palestinian construction workers from building on their land, defined as “occupied zone C” where Israel forbids any Palestinian construction from taking place. The caption to the photo showing an injured worker screaming in pain said an Army driver had intentionally driven over his legs.
Following the surfacing of the photos, the Israeli Embassy in Washington had asked all American newspapers “to consider ceasing to publish the photographs of Hazem Bader,” claiming both the caption and the photo of the injured worker were untrue and “perhaps staged.”
AFP said the Jerusalem bureau of the agency went back and consulted other press agencies that were present in the area and also revisited footage filmed at the location.
“Their [Jerusalem bureau reporters] trust in the events described by Hazem Bader is unequivocal,” the press release read.
The official medical certificate by the doctors who treated the injured worker, Mohammed Abu Qbeita, was included in the press release, as well as a recent interview of Qbeita, conducted by AFP reporters.
“I started walking over to where my stuff was so I could get my phone and my ID card and that’s when the tractor hit me. It hit me twice, first on my side, which knocked me over on the ground,” Qbeita was quoted saying.
“Then it drove over one of my legs. I didn’t see it coming. It went over one of my legs, one was under the wheel, the other one was outside it.
Israelis Told Press to Suppress This Photo
“I went to the hospital, they examined me and treated me and I have a medical certificate and I will show it to anyone who wants to see it. Anyone who wants can talk to me and take a picture of my leg and of me,” Qbeita added.
“In the light of these inquiries and based on the trust we have in our photojournalist, AFP Management does not believe that this event could ever have been staged,” the press release read.
There will be no further comment on the matter, the release stated.

Over at http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk they posted an article on former Jewish NKVD in Israel who bragged about committing the Katyn Massacre in Poland against the “anti-semites”….these people are getting on everyone’s last nerve.
The dark soul of Israel admits no light and is brimming with malefic intent. But even Israel shall be sacrificed by the great Rothschild moloch. Hence, the coming war against Iran.

To the government of the state of Israel.
We are Anonymous.
For too long we have tolerated your crimes against humanity and allowed your sins to go unpunished.
Through the use of media deception and political bribery, you have amassed the sympathies of many.
You claim to be democratic, yet in reality this is far from the truth, in fact your only goal is to better the lives of a select few while carelessly trampling the liberties of the masses. We see through the propaganda that you circulate through the main stream media and lobby through the political establishment.
Your Zionist bigotry has displaced and killed a great many. As the world weeps you laugh while planning your next attack. All of this is done under the veil of peace but so long as your regime exists peace shall be hindered.
You label all who refuse to comply with your superstitious demands as anti semetic. And have taken steps to ensure a nuclear holocaust. You are unworthy to exist in your current form. and will therefore face the wrath of anonymous. Your empire lacks legitimacy and because of this you must govern behind a curtain of deceit.
We will not allow you to attack a sovereign country based upon a campaign of lies. Your grip over humanity will weaken and man will be closer to freedom.
But before this is accomplished the people of this world will rise against you and renounce you in all your worth.
We will not stop until this police state becomes a free state.
We are anonymous.
We are legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Israeli government; Expect us.
