France Finds Slander Spreading from Al-Dura Hoax Against Israel
(Examiner.com) A photographer stages a hoax, making the IDF seem to have murdered an Arab boy, Mohammed al-Dura, in 2000 at the beginning of the Second Intifada. French journalist Charles Enderlin airs the film on France 2 TV. Philippe Karsenty investigates privately, confirms the hoax, and accuses Enderlin of fraud. Enderlin sues Karsenty for slander. Karsenty wins the verdict, based on the truth that the alleged murder is a hoax. Canal+ TV airs its own program, impugning the integrity of Karsenty. Karsenty sues Canal+ for slander and wins on June 10, again confirming the hoax.
