Did you know that IDF commando's generally carry combat knives? I'd call it close to a 100% chance that the knife was property of that commando before he was prevented from killing more foreign civilians on a humanitarian aid mission in international waters. <br /><br />Reuters also cropped out the tacky sandals of the person on the left of the photo, the calves of the individual at the top of the photo and the unidentifiable piece of paper at the bottom of the photo. It's almost like they were zooming in on what they felt to be the most relevant part of the photo, the IDF commando in the center.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711694455883770248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21392130.post-84292770236676127062010-06-08T23:01:07.358-04:002010-06-08T23:01:07.358-04:00By all means Natty...we should never have to be ex...By all means Natty...we should never have to be exposed to the truth.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484878195395080010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21392130.post-45014447803383445172010-06-08T14:42:19.667-04:002010-06-08T14:42:19.667-04:00Firstly, I'm Jewish and feel this kind of thin...Firstly, I'm Jewish and feel this kind of thing makes us look bad.<br /><br />Cropping is hardly the same as photoshopping to add, modify, or remove elements form a photo. As a photographer I use cropping all the time as a way of focusing on the subject of the photo.<br /><br />In fact, here are some I took yesterday:<br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.ca/computergod/KennedyYouthDetentionCentreJune72010" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.ca/computergod/KennedyYouthDetentionCentreJune72010</a><br /><br />In the first example that knife looks very much like the kind the commando might have been carrying on him. It is also held in a very delicate way, not a grip that may be used for slashing or stabbing. It just looks like he was disarmed.<br /><br />In the second photo, I can't see how that is his blood or that he was stabbed, especially by that knife: That is a LOT of blood on the railing yet there is none on him. Blow up the photo and look for yourself. There is also no blood on the blade or on the persons hand. There is no blood on the other persons hands, and if he were bleeding that much there sure would be.computergodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12527435817402903926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21392130.post-22532968717601175862010-06-08T12:14:58.033-04:002010-06-08T12:14:58.033-04:00Somehow I doubt he cares about the other stories.Somehow I doubt he cares about the other stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21392130.post-90153297515281524662010-06-08T12:06:15.362-04:002010-06-08T12:06:15.362-04:00I find LGF to be a perfectly reputable source of i...I find LGF to be a perfectly reputable source of information about lunatics of all stripes. And I find it extremely ironic that in a post about selective editing and biased reporting, the first comment is a plea to avoid an information source that gives one reader facts that he doesn't want to read.Steve Maurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947817535159877852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21392130.post-92129983786200430852010-06-08T11:30:14.814-04:002010-06-08T11:30:14.814-04:00Just for the record, it doesn't matter IF the ...Just for the record, it doesn't matter IF the people on the boat had weapons. There is no place in the world where people do not have the right to defend themselves from attack by murdering pirates. Because who else would be attacking a private vessel in international waters? It's a pity Russia wasn't in charge, all the IDF criminals would be dead at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.Gwennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775001225610891665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21392130.post-63506477496861716392010-06-07T22:35:48.214-04:002010-06-07T22:35:48.214-04:00Could you avoid linking Charles Johnson in the fut...Could you avoid linking Charles Johnson in the future? Surely someone else could figure that out. The only time his website is reliable is when it is pro-Israeli. Almost every other story linked is completely absurd.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762667664393513994noreply@blogger.com
