Did CNN air a Pallywood production — a faked scene by Hamas used as propaganda — as if it were an authentic situation? Here’s the video:

The video is supposedly shot by the freelance journalist brother of the young boy that the “doctors” are trying to revive. But are they really doing CPR? A doctor at LGF says no:

I’m no military expert, but I am a doctor, and this video is bullsh-t. The chest compressions that were being performed at the beginning of this video were absolutely, positively fake. The large man in the white coat was NOT performing CPR on that child. He was just sort of tapping on the child’s sternum a little bit with his fingers. You can’t make blood flow like that. Furthermore, there’s no point in doing chest compressions if you’re not also ventilating the patient somehow. In this video, I can’t tell for sure if the patient has an endotracheal tube in place, but you can see that there is nobody bag-ventilating him (a bag is actually hanging by the head of the bed), and there is no ventilator attached to the patient. In a hospital, during a code on a ventilated patient, somebody would probably be bagging the patient during the chest compressions. And they also would have moved the bed away from the wall, so that somebody could get back there to intubate the patient and/or bag him. In short, the “resuscitation scene” at the beginning is fake, and it’s a pretty lame fake at that.

Indeed, it doesn’t take a doctor to see that the one guy is hardly doing CPR on the boy. The scene even looks staged to the untrained eye.

But wait! There’s more. Via Hot Air, one of the “doctors” is terrorist apologist Mads Gilbert. Oh, and the brother owns a business that hosts websites for Hamas.

Why would CNN, which has now pulled the video from its website without explanation, air this without investigating it further? No one noticed that the doctor was just slapping the kid’s chest? No one looked into whether the brother really was who he was said to be?
