One dead and three injured as war-damaged house collapses in Gaza

A house in Eastern Gaza, that had been damaged by shelling during Israel’s offensive in Gaza in the beginning of this year, collapsed on Monday killing one Palestinian and injuring three others.

    The photograph is from December 28, 2008. It is misleading to have it with this story. I thought I had seen this photo last year. Sure enough, here it is:

    The photographer, Amir Farshad Ebrahimi, has a rather interesting life story if this entry is accurate:

    Maybe they won't start wars again if it bothers them so much.

    <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style=" color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Actually, Israel started this war as it has every other war in the region. This has been proven not only by news channels, but by political figures.</span>

    <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style=" color: #404040; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN;">“(a) The New York Times quoted Prime Minister Menachem Begin`s (1977 – 83) August, 1982 speech saying: `In June, 1967, we had a choice. The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that (President Gamal Abdel) Nasser (1956 – 70) was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him.’</span>

The two divisions which he sent into Sinai on May 14 would not have been enough to unleash an offensive against Israel. He knew it and we knew it.’</span>

    Sure.

    In your own link from CNN, it clearly states: "Readers have reported that this story contains information that may not be accurate.'"

    And in fact, even the Paleos blame themselves:

    Do you actually swallow every bit of this guy's story vza?

    "Most reasonable people believe that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's reelection was a fraud, and that the leaders of Iran have lost any right they had left to rule...."

    I guess that I must be unreasonable to believe that Ahmadinejad actually did win the elections and that the leaders of Iran will continue to rule...LOL!

    Marion, you have posted quite a few links to stories about Iran in the past couple of weeks. Do you actually swallow everything in those stories? Does posting a link to a story mean an endorsement of all ideas therein? I don't think so, but perhaps you see it it differently.
    Did you read the two posts that came before his article? Then perhaps you can see how I came to post his story. It all started with tracking down the photo and the photographer.
