I would not be the least surprised if these were shown to be old Gulf war footage. They were shown here in China on both mainland & HK channels as well as Greek, French & one other expat channel.

Even had it been recent images, they looked almost staged or not quite right.

If it can be proved that these were lies/propaganda someone needs to be fired. CNN should be made to publicly admit that one of its employees did this and that they allowed it to continue. If true it is unbelievably despicable.

I would be wanting to know what the real motive was behind such a deed if proven true.
- Was it a case of the actions took place but they had no direct footage so showed archieval tape
- Was it politically inspired to whip up anti-Palestinian feeling (which it sure did)
- Was it just a simple & honest mistake (that would take some convincing to accept)
