1. maybe reuters sold them the photos
ken ,   california   (08.09.06)
new york times acted so low... but maybe reuters decieved them i think they should explain to us why they behaved like the fake photo dealers did.
2. could also be fake ny times from hizoass
ken ,   california   (08.09.06)
who knows could be hib-ass fake paper, i heard they have alot of equipments.
3. Disgusting
Jewish American ,   USA   (08.09.06)
How sick and twisted do you have to be to do what Hezbollah is doing. Are they that desperate to where they have to wage a propoganda war? Or are they afraid of the truth that Israel is doing what they are supposed to do to avoid civilian casulites, and if the real numbers got out they would lose thier sympathy? It is sad to see an organization that glorifies death for thier own dark agenda.
4. Poppets.That is why media coverage is pro-Arab.

5. Truth and lies in the media
Larry ,   Eastbourne, UK   (08.09.06)
I guess none of us are surprised by this latest fraud. I tend to do the following nowadays:- Firstly, research the Israeli websites (Ynet, Haaretz, JPost) to find out what is actually going on. Secondly, have recourse to the British media (internet, TV, radio, newspapers) in order to find out the lies. Often it's the other way round if I want to get the lies out of the way first. To go from the Israeli websites to the evening "news" on BBC or ITV is quite an eye opener, as they tell of an entirely different war, a war devoid of rocket attacks on innocent civilians in Israel but full of the evil Israelis wantonly and for no reason but their viciousness bombing the poor Lebanese to oblivion.
6. media
av ,   london.uk   (08.09.06)
israel should really make this pictures real this the pro arabes media will have theal thing happening by firing more missiles
7. NY Time in a Tailspin
malcolm ,   NYC   (08.09.06)
The Times has had it's share of unethical journalism. TheHajj photo incident proves further that this corporate bahemoth is far from the respectable newspaper it once was. Similarly, the Times of London defended Hajj as a good photo journalist and said he was probably clearing out dust and got carried away. His dramatic "massacre" pctures have appeared on their front page.
8. so what
Junaid ,   Pakistan   (08.09.06)
there is no doubt photos are faked even there was no need to look at the the other pictures, in first picture its evident guy was not harmed in bombing look at his hands. he had either fainted to doing some acting. still what do you want to prove nothing happened? i think it would be more gruesome than what we had seen..
9. Now photographers
Hans-Jörg Marby ,   Markdorf, Germany   (08.09.06)
Jew-haters all around. Why not photographers as well. Would be boring else. When is Kofi getting his snapshot out?
10. NY Times probably helped him
David Goldfarb ,   NY   (08.09.06)
The New York times is run by left wing maniacs. Anything they can do to hurt the President is ALL they care about. These freaks would have printed it even if they knew it was false. Liberal Americans want negotiations with terorists. the're crazy. L:iberals want the Israel problem to just go away, ie: Jews in the sea. Stop supporting Liberal American causes Israel, they only want you out of the way, so they are not bothered by the "trouble Israel causes around the world" This is how the NY Times thinks. If an American Democrate gets into office in 08, your support will dwindle Israel. Support conservative causes and Rebublicans who will stay the course in the ME, and not cut and run and surrender.

12. If you subscribe to the NYTimes, call them. I did.
Zionist ,   Miami, FL USA   (08.09.06)
Speak with the Director of Photography - Michelle McNelly. Call 1800 NYTIMES and ask to be transferred.
13. Dead people paid to get up!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (08.09.06)
This might be the Levant but the rate of "resurrection" is phenomenal! A few more of these and the veracity of the "Free Press" will really be in doubt. What is amazing is how the Press in Europe and the USA, the sites of some of the worst terrorist attacks the world has seen, can be so easily bought. To hate Israel so much is one thing, but to lie to your own readers and promote the hatred of the West by the Islamic Fanatics can only be called despicable!
14. What's your point?
Rackie ,   Vancouver, USA   (08.09.06)
The New York Times is a fake newspaper.
15. Only Photos Are Fake in the NY Times? And The Articles????
H ,   Jerusalem   (08.09.06)
For those who don't know it, most of articles about Israel and the US are fraudulent in the NY Times. They're a bunch of liberal Lefs and anti-Semites.
16. not an unusual situation
Lara ,   Canada   (08.09.06)
In my experience, many times people just seem to look the same (especially people of the same race)or at least resemble eachother to a point where it's hard to distinguish between them in certain footage. Personally, that guy in the picture looks like about 20 different Arab guys I've seen...there's nothing about him that really stands out so we can't say for sure if it is in fact the same guy in all 4 pictures.
17. here is the website for theh blog

Though your concern is legitimate. You must understand that the conservatives position is dangerous as well. It might be beneficial to Israel in the short term, but thats it. And whether you want to admit it or not , those people want to force their religion on you and have your children or grandchildren pray to Jesus in our public schools. Rather than support for Israel, this is support for hard-line policies that endanger Israel in the name of fundamentalist theology. "Unorthodox Alliance: Israeli And Jewish Interests Are Better Served By Keeping A Polite Distance From The Christian Right," Washington Post, October 11, p. A37, online archive, http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A10067-2002Oct10
20. TIRED OF "MISE EN SCENES"
(08.09.06)
Miracle, Miracle, dead man came back to life! It's time the whole world realizes what Israel is dealing with here. To lie, cheat,fabricate,twist,deceit, those are just some of the "skills" possessed by them. What's so unfortunate, just by reading some of the posts in different articles, is that so many still fall for the deceitful Arab propaganda and negative portrayal of Israel by some media components.These individuals refuse to open their minds to the truth because their hatred of Israel or the Jewish People or both just blinds them to a great extent. The bare truth is: NASRALLAH PROVOKED THIS WAR, WANTED IT, WAS READY FOR IT, USED LEBANON AND THE LEBANESE PEOPLE, AND NOW IS TRYING TO PORTRAY ISRAEL AS THE AGRESSOR, ALL THE WHILE IS USING LEBANESE CIVILIANS AS SHIELDS.TYPICAL.
21. If you think those photos are bad, look here

22. Swedish news coverage
Morton Narrowe ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (08.09.06)
Swedish papers quote Israeli sources, mostly Haaretz, whenever detremental to Israel. I would like to see them cover this barrage of manipulated photos. Some honest press coverage could make a lot of difference. At present we only get pro-Arab "facts" and opinions.
23. # 19 J
David Goldfarb ,   NY   (08.09.06)
I understand your concern too J. I am not a Republican, but I have more faith in the forigen policy of the conservatives while we are in such crucial moment of world conflict. The consevative domestic policy is one of Church in the State I know, but Americans will never let that happen. These ex-hippie liberal politicians, that are unable to conclude that negotiations are immpossible with the Islamo-Facist zealots. They will let Iran get the bomb. I was listening to Sean Hannity and a liberal guy said don't mess with Iran because the'll send suicide bombers to cities in America, what does this clown think will happen if Iran gets the bomb? Such defeatism buy people like Murtha, and these other people who claim to represent the progressive movement in my party, I can say they don't speak for me. They are F--king nuts.. CRAZY. I will not vote for anyone who fits this bill, and if I have to jump ship and join Christian Zealots, even though I'm Jewish I will. They seem alot more level heades with forigen policy.
24. NY BAD times
Disgusted ,   new york   (08.09.06)

29. #19 Conservatives
Granny ,   USA   (08.09.06)
You have allowed the MSM to deceive you about "conservatives." I am one of the people that has spent hours of late helping to uncover this fauxtography as we are calling it. And I am very familiar with the blogs that are working on this. Those participating in this are specifically NOT religious conservatives. Many are atheist. Quite some few are Jewish. One or two are Arab. There are people from all over world of lots of different opinions about most things. One thing we have in common: we want our "news" to tell the truth rather than be invented from whole cloth. And another thing we have in common: we support Israel because Israel is in the right in this matter.
30. Another falssification or mossad'non-competence?!!
Robert ,   Warsaw, Poland   (08.09.06)
What really do you want to prove? That no innocent people were killed by izrael or that iranian aircrafts are hitting Lebanon, or Seniora has produced KANA masacre. Stop laying - the world see what IDF/IAF are doing and izrael doesn't need to produce such incompetent stories.
