Titolo: Ambulanze bombardate? Era la solita balla

http://www.zombietime.com/fraud/ambulance/
# Other vehicles hit by Israeli missiles have been completely destroyed, as 
widely shown in photographs - but the ambulance in question merely has a hole in 
its pockmarked roof, a disarrayed interior, and broken or missing windows.
# The hole in the top of the roof, upon closer inspection, is seen to have small 
screw holes around it at regular intervals - and was probably the location of an 
emergency light or siren that had been roughly removed.
# The hole and marks in the roof are surrounded by rust, showing that the damage 
was weeks or months old.
# The claim that a man had his leg blown off by the missile is belied by the 
lack of any blood in the ambulance.
# The ambulance worker supposedly injured by the missile blast was seen just 
days later without a scratch.

Zombietime.... HAHAHAHAHA!
Downer's unfounded faith in the internet
The Foreign Minister has been hoaxed by a callous blog, writes Middle
East correspondent Martin Chulov
LATE in the evening of July 23, Qassem Shalin, a volunteer member of
the Lebanese Red Cross for 13 years, set off in his ambulance for a
cross road near the village of Qana in southern Lebanon. His job that
night was to collect, with a second ambulance, six people who had
suffered minor injuries the day before during fighting between
Hezbollah and Israel.
It was a call-out that almost cost Shalin his life and, according to
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, has since cost him his reputation as
an impartial protector of war's wounded.
The run sheets that night of the Lebanese Red Cross in Beirut and the
International Committee for the Red Cross, who were working closely
with them, show the two ambulances waited at the intersection just
north of Qana for another ambulance carrying wounded from the village
of Tibnin.
Just after 11.30 a large explosion thundered into Shalin's ambulance.
Both drivers were wearing body armour and had just loaded two
stretchers carrying Ahmed Mohammed Fawaz and his 14-year-old son,
Abdullah.
Shalin is not the only one to have come under attack in the wake of the
incident. Representatives of the world's media who covered the
aftermath, including this correspondent, are in the Foreign Minister's
sights for reporting that the ambulance had been struck by an Israeli
missile, in a serious contravention of the rules that govern warfare.
In a speech to Australian newspaper publishers this week, he accused us
all of willingly falling for a Hezbollah-contrived conspiracy, our
eagerness to do so being dishonest and irresponsible and, according to
Herald Sun columnist Andrew Bolt, fuelled by an anti-Israeli bias.
"What concerns me greatly is the evidence of dishonesty in the
reporting out of Lebanon," Downer said, adding later that "it is beyond
serious dispute that this episode has all the makings of a hoax".
The source of his findings was a right-wing Florida-based website,
zombietime.com
, which had devoted 28 pages to discredit the story and
lambasted the world's media for covering it.
Downer finds the blog to be a compelling condemnation of the foreign
media's competence and ideological stance in Lebanon. Key planks of
zombietime.com
's allegations are that a missile would not cause the
type of damage done to Ambulance 782; rust around the damaged roof
showed the damage was done some time prior; neither driver was
seriously injured; Shalin's injuries seemed to heal miraculously; and
the Israeli apology was merely a matter of course.
I was in Tyre on the night of the attack and investigated the incident
closely the next day. On July 24, with photographer Stewart Innes, we
spoke to Qassem Shalin, who was recovering from a minor wound to his
chin that nurses had bandaged to stop it from turning septic. We also
visited Ahmed Mohammed Fawaz, whose lower left leg had been amputated
and whose severe burns ironically had saved his life by sealing blood
vessels and arteries. His son writhed in pain nearby, his stomach
riddled with shrapnel and the rear of his scalp opened up.
We inspected both ambulances, whose mangled roofs were not rusting at
the time. By the time the photos used on the blog site were taken, rust
had appeared. But this is entirely normal in Lebanon's sultry summer
climate, where humidity on the coast does not drop below 70per cent.
Downer's spokesman, Tony Parkinson, said on Tuesday: "Those (website)
pictures do not show an ambulance that has been struck by a missile nor
do they sustain the argument the ambulance was struck by a missile."
He is wrong. The damage done was consistent with ruined cars and vans
that I saw elsewhere in Lebanon and earlier in Gaza, which had been hit
by a missile fired from a drone. The Israeli-made drones have many
types of missiles, but the most regularly used has a small warhead
designed for use in urban areas. It aims not to kill anyone outside a
small zone and rarely leaves a calling card outside its target.
Downer and Parkinson should know this. The Australian Government last
year signed a deal to buy drones from Israel. They would surely have
come with a buyer's guide.
The small warhead partly explains the driver's lack of serious wounds.
But more telling is the fact that Shalin was lifting the rear ramp of
the ambulance when the missile hit. His colleague was stepping into the
side door. The concussion wave from the missile easily dispersed
through the open spaces. Shalin was protected as he fell under the
ramp. The other driver was blown out the side door.
Working in the Lebanese Red Cross operations room in Beirut the night
the ambulances were hit was field manager George Kettaneh. "Every
ambulance that moved in Lebanon I had to know about," he said. "I
received phone calls from the ambulance drivers and it took us one hour
to negotiate a ceasefire through the ICRC."
The man doing their bidding for them was Antoine Bieler, the field
co-ordinator for the ICRC who yesterday confirmed to Media that he had
negotiated a ceasefire with the Israeli Defence Force. "Yes absolutely,
that happened," he said from Beirut. The ICRC in Geneva later said
there was nothing to support Downer's claim that the events of that
night were an anti-Israeli hoax.
I returned to Tyre on Saturday to speak again to Qassem Shalin and
inspect the damaged ambulances. "Everything I said happened that night
did happen," he said. "There was not a sound in the sky before the
explosions. And after that there was a battle for the next hour. We hid
in a building nearby convinced we were going to die. It was only when
George (Kettaneh) called me that we could leave safely."
The events of July 23 and the reporting that followed was newsworthy
and important. The ICRC has documented two other occasions when
Lebanese ambulances were hit during the war and to report the incidents
does not reflect anti-Israeli bias. The blog site's attempts to create
a smokescreen around a shameful truth fail on tests of scrutiny that
Downer was happy to overlook.
Beyond serious dispute? Only if you want to believe it, Minister.

Ah, the australian, uno dei giornali che nella balla dell'ambulanza, 
probabilmente sfasciata a martellate in un  parcheggio, ci ha rimesso le faccia.
