UK - BBC uses Hezbollah staged video

Here is a video of Salam Daher, the man who's been directing and staging video and photographic coverage of scenes in Lebanon for Hezbollah.



Here's a BBC Newsnight video featuring Salam Daher. You can see him at about 37 seconds into the film. The BBC also show a still from EU Referendum's blog featuring Daher at about 2:00 mins.



Here's a video of CNN admiting that Hezbollah is staging these events.

Note in the BBC video the Human Watch Rights representative disputes Israel's timeline on the Qana bombing. His evidence? Two witness. One who was at the scene at the time of the bombing (was he Hezbollah?) and one who rushed to the scene - was he Daher? He also asserts that they found no evidence of Hezbollah rockets in the area. I would imagine Hezbollah would have cleaned up the evidence.

Note also the BBC go on to assert the Israelis calim that the Palestinian beach bombing incident was the result of left over Hezbollah ordinance. Israel made no such claim. Israel claimed it was Palestinian ordinance and that has turned out to be the case.

When it was brought to the BBC's attention that they were using a staged Hezbollah photograph, they removed it and issued a statement as to why they did so. Will they issue a similar statement over this video?

Hezbollah is working hand in hand with the BBC in this propaganda war.
