Sir, - Re: "Outcry raised over missing minutes in al-Dura

covering this case, which has suffered from insufficient media
attention. But I disliked the tone of this article, which repeatedly
generalized supporters of Philippe Karsenty’s views such as myself as 'crying foul', as if this were a football
match.

Your election to
We are approaching you about a complex legal
case coming to an appeal court in
Below I recall some facts about this case and
about the close involvement of the French presidency.
(We, Take-A-Pen, are a global volunteer organization around the world which in
18 languages and in many countries watches the media and public life for their
truth or untruth said and done, particularly about Israel and the Middle East.
We act and publicly write in defense of the truth.)
One of the worse atrocities against truth the
world has seen in recent years was the less than a minute long movie of
This movie and the photos became the most
powerful icons of the Palestinians, of global Jihad and of hatred of
Powerful icons both for honest people who
naïvely believed that such cruelty had really happened, and for global
Islamist militancy which uses it since then for recruitment to terrorism, for
incitement to hatred of their young ones and even as a direct pretext of an
estimated at least 500 deaths in the worldwide upheaval Islamists launched
after the movie, including the murder of the journalist Daniel Pearl.
Daniel Pearl's killers used al-Durrah's image
in the video showing
The problem with the France TV-2 movie is that
it most probably is an absolute fake.
The short al-Durrah show, published and
distributed in the whole world free by TV-2, was edited from a forty times (!)
longer raw footage. But that raw footage, at least 27 minutes long, was never
shown by TV 2 to the world or to professionals who formally requested to see
it.
The single witness of the al-Durrah movie’s
authenticity was the photographer, Palestinian cameraman
Talal Abu Rahma himself. Charles Enderlin, Jerusalem
Bureau Chief for
On the other hand great many signs and
professional researches made by German, American, international and French
expert teams (including investigating reporter Philippe Karsenty of
Absurd contradictions were found by dozens
within that short movie, like: we can hear maybe a hundred shots, but later a
recording was found that during the editing of the movie the sound of one shot
was endlessly repeated. Or: after the hundreds of shots not one hole was seen
in the drum which stood right behind father and son allegedly for 45 minutes of
shootings. Or: the ambulance arrived and left the scene within a few seconds;
hardly enough for sportsmen to jump into the back of a car; but the evacuation
of the injured boy or his body could never be seen. No body or reliable
hospital record of the allegedly dead boy was ever found or documented.
All circumstantial evidence suggests strongly
that a cunning fake made by the photographer combined with the utmost
professional negligence by the film’s editor, Charles Enderlin, produced one of
the most severe global blood libels of our time.
Release of the crucial evidence held by TV-2
could solve the doubts. It seems that this is exactly what TV-2 wants to avoid.
Since then this most ‘successful’ fake propaganda
film inspired a whole new Palestinian and Islamist lie industry; whole studios,
widely called and documented as ‘Pallywood’, are fabricating staged false
‘news’.
In recent years the falsity of TV 2’s
al-Durrah movie has gradually became a global consensus. The only way TV-2
could obstruct truth be found and be fully proven, has been its refusal to
disclose the full raw footage.
Last September the French court rendered,
after then-President Chirac’s rather weird intervention, a judgment against
Philippe Karsenty for defamation, in favour of Charles Enderlin and TV-2
television station.
This politicized judgment damaged very
seriously the reputation of President Chirac, of the French justice system and
of
Dear President Sarkozy! On September 12, 2007 Philippe Karsenty will
present his appeal to the court against the 2006 judgment.
We are appealing to you now for your support
to a fair and not manipulated appeal procedure.
Of course we are not suggesting that you
interfere with the course of justice; but we do suggest that you undo the
previous French President’s intervention seemingly against finding the
inconvenient truth.
We do request that you support the court
ordering France TV-2 to release the crucial evidence: the 27 minutes long
footage, filmed by the sole witness cameraman, and never shown to the public or
to experts.
True that the release of that evidence and the
court’s finding the truth about

(3) UPDATE - 
IDF demands
ICEJ, Sept. 18, 2007
The IDF has apparently reopened its probe of a highly
controversial incident that helped fuel the second Intifada in its earliest
days seven years ago, as the Israeli military has requested
that the France 2 television network hand over its unedited video
of the shooting of 12-year old Mohammed al-Dura in Gaza.
The IDF request comes in the midst of a legal battle between the
network and its
The Palestinians turned al-Dura into a leading symbol of the armed intifada and
a model of child martyrdom for other Palestinian youths.
"The IDF is dealing directly with the network on the issue," an IDF
spokeswoman told Haaretz on Monday, without
explaining why the army had made the request.
The Palestinians blamed the IDF for the boy’s death and the IDF
quickly apologized, but a military investigation later concluded that
the boy was probably shot dead in a Palestinian crossfire. A local Arab
cameraman, Talal Abu Rahma, shot the video for the French network,
which widely distributed only 55 seconds of the 27 minutes of film taken.
Among the evidence pointing to Palestinian culpability is the angle of
fire and use of automatic weapons, both of which indicate a
unit of six IDF soldiers besieged in a nearby pillbox at Netzarim Junction
were not responsible for al-Dura's death on September 30, 2000.
