Video shows Barghouti break hunger strike

[Gimel]

Many cases of strike breaking have been reported on the fourth day of the Palestinian security prisoner hunger strike, including imprisoned Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti and other strike leaders, who have been put together in separate cells.

The Prison Services released a film Wednesday filmed by a hidden camera that shows a man, apparently Barghouti, eating in his cell with the door and window covered by a cloth.

Marwan Barghouti, the highest ranking Palestinian in Israeli custody, is serving five consecutive life terms after being convicted of involvement in fatal attacks.

Barghouti, the West Bank leader of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, was one of the organizers of the hunger strike.

1. and we can tell this video was shot during the hunger strike how?

then again, I could care less either way.

2. The date of the filming

is in the lower right had corner of the video, as in standard photographic equipment.

3. bwahahah.

A) video is not "photographic"

B) timestamps are the easiest thing in the world to add in post.

You're kidding, right? Are you seriously trying to claim that a date on a video screen is considered conclusive proof?

Kidding aside, this is one goofy propaganda move.

4. I suppose

laboratory tests might be conducted. But it's not a legal issue. If you think it's a fake, it doesn't bother me.

5. laboratory tests? What the heck are you talking about?

What kind of laboratory tests can you do on a video? This isn't a bad movie, there are no tests you can do to prove when a tape was recorded.

I don't have an opinion on it being true or false, I'm just saying that these things can't be timestamped reliably.

It doesn't bother me if you believe its true, just as it doesn't bother me when you believe any given thing published by such a good publication like the Jerusalem Post, beloved by all liberals.

Kidding aside, this is one goofy propaganda move. Will they release some tapes of him masturbating next? Maybe they can do a webcam. WWW.BARGOODTIME.COM
