Israel Says It Has Video of Lebanese Troops Firing on Protesters But Won’t Release It

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are holding video of Lebanese troops firing on Nakba protesters during yesterday’s protests. The IDF decided it was better to take the international blame and disdain for the dead protesters than to release the video and embarrass the Lebanese forces(?)
It’s sort of like listening to Obama’s nonstop pretzel logic.
To give the IDF some credit… They did release video of the Islamic radicals taking cover behind an ambulance as they attacked Israeli soldiers.
The Jerusalem Post reported:
Despite accusations that the IDF killed 10 Lebanese protesters on Sunday, Israel has decided not to release a video which shows the Lebanese Army opening fire at the demonstrators.
The video was taken by the IDF of the area just north of the town of Avivim, where hundreds of Palestinian refugees gathered on Sunday to participate in Nakba Day demonstrations against Israel. At one point, a group of the protesters rushed to the border but were pushed back by soldiers from the Lebanese Armed Forces.
IDF soldiers also opened fire at the legs of some of the protesters who managed to penetrate the LAF perimeter and reach the border fence. Lebanese media reported that 10 people were killed. But senior IDF officers said on Monday that it was likely that most of the dead were killed by the LAF gunfire.
The decision not to release the video was made during consultations between the IDF and the Prime Minister’s Office, both of which were concerned that its release to the public could embarrass the LAF, and in turn deter the Lebanese army from responding aggressively the next time protesters try to storm the border.
The quality of the video was also said to be poor.

WTF!?

Hey Obama is the same guy that put his shoes on the desk showing his soles when discussing Israel. Does anyone anywhere believe that he wont turn on Israel in a New York second? Muslims show complete scorn for some one by either throwing or waving their shoes. Everybody in the middle east caught the message this idiot was sending, except our own media.

Israel is considering their own security.
Obama is considering Muslims feelings.

The video consists of Lebanese soldiers shooting Arabs in the back. It’s not some ordinary guy-shot-in-head photo that’s everywhere on the internet.

This is why I am not impressed with Obama’s hit on Bin Laden. He was assassinated for the same reasons Hezbolla shoots the Palestinian protestors in the back…to blame the death on the jews and foament more Islamic rage towards Israel and America . Israel is not releasing the videos because Fareed Zakaria told Obama to demand it be censored along wth Osama’s photos.
gus commented:
donh. Obama had nothing to do with taking out Bin Laden. He merely approved of the plan. Bin Ladens demise was perfect. The post-mortem handling was a bungled cluster-fock. The hall-mark of the Obama admin. NO LEADER. NO ORDER. NO DISCIPLINE. NO EXPERIENCE. The 3 people who came out of the BIN LADEN escapade with any credibility/dignity were…(and I hate to give them credit) PANETTA, RODHAM, and BILL DALEY.
The non-release of any pics or video is OBAMA’S call. He’s wrong as usual. He is protecting MUZZTARDS. He should be scaring them. i.e. This is you….NEXT.
