The Pro-Palestinians here may not be aware of their propaganda being lies and deception. Here's an example.
A Palestinian Arab blogger and "award-winning journalist" has been caught cynically using a picture of a severely disabled Palestinian child for propaganda purposes, falsely claiming his limbs were blown off by the Israeli military during last summer's conflict with Gaza.
Mohammed Omer - who started the Rafah Today blog and has written for numerous major news outlets including Al Jazeera, the WashingtonReport on Middle East Affairs, the New Statesman, Aftonbladet and others - received the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism in 2008.
The Prize is granted to journalists who "tell an unpalatable truth, validated by powerful facts."
But ironically, Omer's reporting skills have been exposed as anything but truthful after a tweet he posted Sunday, featuring a Palestinian toddler from Gaza he claims is "one of the last Gaza war victims," referring to last summer's Operation Protective Edge.
But the picture in question is of Mohammed al-Farra, a toddler from Gaza with a rare genetic disease who has been living at Israel's Tel Hashomer hospital with his grandfather after being abandoned by his parents.
