LGF has posted a response from the supplier of the suspicious CNN video purportedly showing the resuscitation attempt of a young boy injured in the conflict in Gaza. This part of the response struck me:
No-one in their right mind would suggest that any person would allow doctors to play games with a dying or dead younger brother. The idea is bizarre and deeply insulting…
This is true. No one in their right mind would do such a despicable thing. Unfortunately, we aren’t always dealing with people in their right minds. In the Palestinian territories, we are quite often dealing with people that are out of their minds. This is a culture that holds suicide bombing as a moral achievement; where proudly sacrificing your children and celebrating their deaths gets you elected to office. Faking a CPR attempt is hardly beyond them.
Charles has asked for expert doctor opinions regarding the CPR in the video, but it doesn’t take an expert to see that the scene could have been staged. Anyone that has taken a CPR class could tell you that. I worked as a day care/camp counselor for 5 summers back in the day where we had to take a CPR class and renew our credentials every year or two. During instruction, I remember them telling us that what they show in TV shows is not how it’s done. We were taught to keep our arms straight and locked at the elbows, to lean over the patient, and to use our body weight to push in the chest a few inches. Clearly, that isn’t happening in the video.
