More Media Mayhem

Charles has a new find as regards some anti-semitic propaganda being spread. I'll link it again below. But I want to post the license plates regarding the issue I mentioned here. The first image at right is from the ambulance that was allegedly attacked. It's a Red Cross Type 2 plate. 

In a high resolution photo the ICRC had up, you could see the license plates of ambulances surrounding the allegedly bombed ambulance quite clearly. Take a look at these below, all from other ambulances. The three plates below, all that could be seen, are all Type 1 plates.

Now, the license plate at right is from Zombie Time. So, apparently there are some ambulances with a Type 2 plate. But Lebanon put sweeping new motor vehicle laws in place back in 2004 due to a high incidence of vehicle fraud.

And while the photo images can't be precise, it does appear as though the plate on the allegedly attacked ambulance may not be a contemporary plate. I'm not suggesting it's bogus. However, if those were older ambulances, damaged and abandoned some time ago, these images might fit.

In any case, given that we have the license plate number, one should be able to ascertain if the ambulance above was in service at the time of the event. And if anyone is in the right time zone to call the Lebanese motor vehicle department to make an inquiry, you can find that number here.

Also posted is a comparison between the fronts of the two ambulances with similar plates. Clearly the ambulance which was allegedly struck by a missile is an older model year. Given Hezbollah's presence in South Lebanon, does it have access to retired ambulances, using them to transport arms and men? The question at least needs to be asked.

ZombieTime has the full ambulance post and don't forget the new video at lgf on the alleged Israeli chemical weapons that aren't there.

Another two small notes regarding the markings of the infamous Ambulance #782:

1) In the ITV clip, this ambulance is missing a marking that all the other ambulances have - the emergency phone number "140" above the driver's side rear wheel well (like "911") is missing!

2) The Arabic writing on Ambulance #782 is of a non-standard script (caligraphic) and color (black) - (although is says the same as the new ambulances - Red Cross of Lebanon).
