PA Holocaust abuse: PA misrepresents photos of Holocaust victims as Arabs killed by Jews - again!

PA Holocaust abuse: 
PA misrepresents photos of Holocaust victims 
as Arabs killed by Jews - again!

By Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik

Official PA TV last month deceitfully broadcast pictures of bodies of Holocaust victims in a Nazi concentration camp presenting them as pictures of Arab victims killed by Jews in the village of Deir Yassin in 1948.

Two other pictures (below), which PA TV also claimed were of Arabs killed in 1948 by Jews, were actually pictures from the Sabra and Shatila massacre of Palestinians by Christian Phalangists in Lebanon in 1982.

Palestinian Media Watch has documented that presenting Holocaust victims as Arab victims of Israel is recurring practice of official PA TV, and that PA TV in 2018 deceptively presented these same photos from Sabra and Shatila as from Deir Yassin.

Official PA TV's lie:
PA TV's text on screen: "Occupied Jerusalem - 71 years since the Deir Yassin massacre"

Original source:
Below is the original photo from the concentration camp at Nordhausen, originally a sub-camp of Buchenwald, showing hundreds of dead victims. The picture was taken right after liberation of the camp by the American army:

PA TV also presented the photo below as being from Deir Yassin, showing dead bodies in striped uniforms similar to the ones Jews and other victims wore in Nazi concentration camps. PMW has not been able to identify where this photo is from, but some websites suggest it is from the Leitmeritz concentration camp in Germany, now part of The Czech Republic. Either way, Arabs in Deir Yassin didn't wear striped uniforms like those of inmates in Nazi concentration camps.

In addition to misrepresenting pictures from the Holocaust, PA TV likewise misrepresented these two pictures of piles of bodies from the Sabra and Shatila massacre, which PA TV purported to be from Deir Yassin:

Deir Yassin - On April 9, 1948, Jewish fighters from the Irgun and Lehi military groups, part of the forces opening the blockaded road to Jerusalem, attacked the Arab village of Deir Yassin. When the battle was over, the village had fallen and in addition to the Arab fighters killed, 107 civilians were also killed. Narratives differ as to whether the civilians were killed in the crossfires or were intentionally murdered by the Irgun and Lehi fighters.
Sabra and Shatila are Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. In 1982, during the first Lebanon War, Muslim residents of the camps were massacred by Christian Phalangists. The PA has a longstanding policy of falsely accusing Israel of committing the massacre or actively helping to carry it out.

Hillary Clinton: 'I'm living rent free inside of Donald Trump's brain'

Hillary Clinton: 'I'm living rent free inside of Donald Trump's brain'

Hillary Clinton said Wednesday night that President Donald Trump keeps attacking her to distract the country from his own problems and to fire up his Republican base of supporters.
Appearing on "The Rachel Maddow Show," Clinton discussed the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller's report that the president had pressed his then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate Clinton.
"I'm living rent free inside of Donald Trump's brain, and it's not a very nice place to be, I can tell you that," the former Secretary of State told Maddow in her first television interview this year, calling the president's ongoing fixation on her a "diversion attack."

"I guess it is one of their tools to fire up their hard-core base," Clinton said.
"When in doubt, go after me...They know better. But this is part of their whole technique to divert attention from what the real story is. The real story is the Russians interfered in our election. And Trump committed obstruction of justice. That's the real story."

On Attorney General William Barr's testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Clinton said calling for his resignation "makes perfect sense," although she did not excplicitly do so herself, as some Democrats have, and she cautioned that his conduct should not draw attention away from the Mueller report's findings.
She criticized Barr for behaving as "the president's defense lawyer."
"He is not the attorney general of the United States in the way he has conducted himself," Clinton added.
Clinton also did not call for launching impeachment proceedings against Trump, but urged Congress first to continue to investigate the president and see where it goes.

"There's a lot of important material to be explored, so you have to do it in a way that creates a narrative," Clinton told Maddow. "What is it you're finding out? Where does it lead? But, if it leads to the conclusion that this president has committed high crimes and misdemeanors, that's what should motivate the Congress to act."
Clinton said she was speaking out because of her concerns about continuing Russian efforts to interfere in U.S. elections, as Moscow did in 2016.
"I don't want it to happen again," she said.
