Augean Stables: Muhammed al Durah alive? Who knows?

Richard Landes translates a Hebrew-only article from Maariv: IT MAY BE THAT MUHAMMED AL DURAH IS ALIVE

Findings that were presented by the head of the committee to investigate the death of child managed to raise doubts for the head of the National Security Council.

“The boy Muhammed al Durah didn’t die at all, he is living in Gaza,” so claims the physicist and right-winger Nahum Shahaf, who presented his findings recently before the head of the National Security Council, General (res.) Giora Eiland. The investigation claims that the photos documenting the death of al Durah were staged by the Palestinians for propaganda purposes.

The head of the National Security Council said to Maariv that after reviewing the findings, he did not rule them out. The right-wing physicist also tried to convince Eiland that Israel take the official position that the child did not die. However, in the words of Eiland, “It is difficult to remain indifferent in light of Shahaf’s findings, however, there is no ablsolute proof that the findings of the investigation are correct.”...

Don't miss the rest of the article, as well as Landes' commentary (including Maariv's seeming obsession with Shahaf's location on the political spectrum): Muhammed al Durah alive? Who knows?

Presciently (word?) or ironically in light of the MADMORON in Iran.

GERMAN ARMY KNEW - New Book Reveals
DAILY SCORECARD REPORTS -

Newly released British intelligence from taps indicates that many many German officers knew the extermination of the Jews was in fact taking place. One commented in 1943 that he believed at least 3 million had to have been killed by then.

According to a new book by German historian SÃ¶nke Neitzel, senior German officers knew far more about the Holocaust than was previously thought -

In the scotsman the last sentence states -

Dr. Christoph Dartmann, a lecturer in European History at Aberdeen University, said:

"This is a blow against the sanitised Hollywood image of the German army as a clean army totally removed from the atrocities."
