The video was not taken on January 1st 2009. It was not taken in a civilian market, and it was not the result of an IDF air strike.
This video is from September 23rd 2005, and was taken in the Jabalya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip. A Hamas pick-up truck carrying Qassam rockets detonated by mistake during a Hamas rally, leaving at least 15 killed and dozens more injured.

What's lame is your hypocrisy
by Q on Sun Jan 04, 2009 09:54 PM PSTwhy not admit that Israel does it too? Is that not proof enough for you?
Only fanatics are incapable of applying standards to their own side. Thanks for the exposure.
let me show you what's lame. This is from the BBC report, the stuff in bold is textbook definition of "lame":
The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem put Mr Sanur's account on its website, together with a photograph of burned out oxygen cylinders.
Mr Sanur said that eight people, one of them his son, had been killed. He subsequently told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz: "These were not Hamas, they were our children... They were not Grad missiles.".
The Israeli response was that the "materiel" was being taken from a site that had stored weapons. The video remains on You Tube.
But the incident shows how an apparently definitive piece of video can turn into something much more doubtful.

Is that the best you can come up with?

Fake controversy?
by Q on Sun Jan 04, 2009 09:40 PM PSTI have never seen this video and as far as I know it was never shown in any news programs or talked about in mojor newspapers. I accept that it seems fake, but I don't see how it made any difference.
By contrast, IOF's well publicized deadly attack on a truck showing "Grad" missiles turned out to be a total fabrication
. Some poor farmers family was killed for nothing. This was exposed by B'Tselem and even Israel is not standing by the story. Yet the ORIGINAL was covered in every news program in America.//news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7809371.stm
The idea of a "publicity war" against the enormous wealth and influence of Israeli groups and allies in the western media is just another "cry wolf" story for extremists.
Sooner or later, people are going to stop believing you.
