Intifada
by Sidney Slivko

Throughout the intifada, the PA has been engaged in a campaign to defame Israel and the IDF in an attempt to divert attention from its own actions and shift the blame for the violence to Israel. This includes such claims as Israel’s using depleted uranium in its bullets to the IDF’s dropping poisoned candy from airplanes into Gaza and Palestinian-controlled territories. While we cannot prevent the dis-information in these new-age "blood libels" from making its way to the media, we can tell you the facts, so that you can respond.

Some recent examples:

1. The Karine A & the PA
Evidence found on board the Karine A indicates that the weaponry originated in Iran ad that thesmuggling was financed and organized by Fuad Shubaki, head of the financial administration of the Palestinian General Security Services and an Arafat confidant. The ship's captain and crew were members of the Palestinian Naval Police.

2. Rumors of His Death are Greatly Exaggerated
On April 2, PA television accused the IDF killed a priest named Jack Amateis from St. Mary’s church. Days later, in an interview with the media, the priest himself confirmed that he and the nuns in the convent are safe.

3. We Didn't Start The Fire...
Despite reports to the contrary on Al Jazeera Television, the IDF did not destroy or burn any mosques or churches in Bethlehem.

4. Ambulances?
Red Crescent ambulances have been used to transport weapons, ammunition and gunmen to the front lines, in violation of international conventions (Geneva Convention).
