Blog : Philosémitisme

Suite à l'intervention d'un journaliste belge, de plusieurs blogs et associations anglophones, l'AFP (Agence France Presse) a été forcée de retirer une fausse information accablant Israël, comme l'a reconnu l'Adjoint à la Rédaction en Chef Centrale auprès du journaliste belge: "Je pense que nous avons bien compris le message après vos nombreux mails. Nous avons annulé sur le web la vidéo incriminée à juste raison. C'est un processus laborieux et qui ne fonctionne pas parfaitement en raison des méandres et de la complexité du web. Il est possible que certains sites, comptes continuent de la voir ou de la diffuser."

The New Antisemite rapporte les faits: European media spreads conspiracy theories against Jews :

AFP posted a clip headlined: "Gaza village floods after Israel opens dam gates".  The clip was picked up by MSN. AFP interviewed a local resident who claimed that "this is political, all the Jews want is to destroy us".  AFP 'corrected' the resident's words, so it would sound less antisemitic, and translated it as "all Israel wants is to destroy us".

No other information was offered on the topic.

Honest Reporting:  Dam Busted Pt. 2: More Dam Lies - Le Daily Mail qui avait rapporté l'histoire a publié un correctif: "An earlier version of this article stated that Israel had opened river dams in the south of the country, causing flooding in the Gaza strip. In fact, there are no dams in southern Israel and the flooding was caused by rain and drainage issues. We are happy to clarify this"

First the facts. There is NO DAM in Israel that can release water and flood Gaza. There's no way for Israel to deliberately flood Gaza. OK' Back in December 2013 the Pallywood propaganda machine tried to blame flooding in Gaza on Israel and Jono wrote about it here. This was the headline on the Middle East Monitor back in December 2013:
