Pro-Hamas Doctors Caught Faking A Civilian Death... After CNN Airs Footage
Mads Gilbert, the radical Marxist Norwegian doctor that was the focus of a Fox News report earlier today for being an anti-Israeli Hamas apologist, has been positively identified as one of two doctors caught faking CPR on a Palestinian boy that "died" in video featured today on CNN.

But it doesn't make much sense to be so gingerly with the patented Chi-Powered No-Touch Chest Compressions unless the "patient" is alive--you wouldn't hurt a dead body by doing the real compressions. Pretty brazen.

Where was the surgeon general? probably the one saying "get that stupid crap off the screen!"
I only had first aid cpr training when I was in the service, our training dolls required real pressure, and the doc's got kinda pissed if you didn't put enough pressure on it. One of the rules we were told is "you ARE gonna break ribs, but better broken ribs than a dead EFFING FRIEND! PUSH!"

Yeah, who believes this crap? Oh, right.

Be realistic, the casualties of the war aren't the crimes of the Israelis alone. It shows how little you understand about war and it's repercussions.
Why didn't you condemn Hama for continuingly firing rockets that eventually led to this whole suffering?
The best solution for the people in both Palestine and Israel is to live in peace, respect each other rights and to refrain from violence.
Let's not rub salt over the wounds.

Do you condone false reporting of alledged facts by supposedly respectable journalists, in order to promote their partisan political agenda? Would you condone such behaviour if your opponents did this?

So, Eric, John, and Ken, where could I get a really cool stick inserted up my butt just like the ones you've got? Did it get shoved far enough to knock some IQ points out of your head?

Actually, I would guess CBS News. That was the Dan Rather defense, no? "Fake but accurate?"
We see the same, manufactured nonsense every time Palestine flares up, and you have to ask why people don't wonder, "If there are real atrocities being committed here, why do the Palestinians have to manufacture evidence of them?"

I am a Zionist. When the dhimmis at the UN and the House of Saud insinuate that Israel's statehood and borders are not legitimate, let us ask about the other "created" countries: transJordan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon. Israel got

There is nothing wrong with islam, either your a troll or an idiot
Islam is the religion of peace, the members of Hamas may call themselves muslims but they are just as much muslims as the crusaders were

child, in two different settings held by two different grieving males. The child does not look distressed...This child is obviously being used for propaganda purposes. Then there is the faked Al-Dura incident, and others, manufactured by 'Palestinian theater for the gullible'...
Are you that gullible? Apparently some are.

The kid was supposedly hit by a missile from an Israeli UAV.
Has anyone wondered why there was enough of him left to collect?
Shouldn't there be just a small, bloody pile of miscellaneous body parts on the table?
Even with an explosion, missiles carry a fairly high amount of kinetic energy.

A doctor over at SDA ended your monitor hypothesis, saying:
As a physician who has just finished doing a resuscitation last shift, I agree with the analysis by Last Mohican.
The CPR is fake. There is no ventilation, the chest compressions are pitiful.
Moreover the interesting thing is that the monitor is beeping, but doesn't look like it has asystole on it. In fact it is making the noise it makes when it is unplugged from the patient or an error vs. a serious interpreted event (some monitors can tell if their leads are plugged in). Also while it is beeping the caucasian doctor is putting the chest lead electrodes on the kid's chest, while the other guy is doing fake CPR, meaning the monitor was not actually attached to the patient.
The monitor wasn't plugged in. Gilbert's acting is looking worse all the time.
As for comments about missile warheads, I can address that.
No known Israeli UAVs are armed, even though Palestinians have been making such claims for several years.
Of known armed western UAVs, such as the U.S. Predator, if they carry a missile, they carry a variant of the anti-tank Hellfire missile, a beast of a weapon originally designed to kill main battle tanks in top-down strikes with spectacular results. The wars we fight have now led to a Hellfire has a modded warhead that is now designed to be far more effective on structures, and you can see the handiwork of such weapons in the fields or piles of rubble that remain after a UAV drone strikes teh Taliban or al Qaeda safe houses in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Simply put, neither this structure nor anyone on it was hit by any precision guided air-to-ground system in operation today. The footage simply rules it out.
mdgiles is correct: if the roof had been hit directly by a missile like those on today's UAVs, they would not find much of him.
Or of that house, for that matter.

I have to thoroughly disagree with the other physicians who claim this is fake. Is it AHA approved CPR? No. He appears to be giving infant CPR to a child. That's why the compressions are fast and shallow. And they aren't "delicate" either. You can see the child moving up and down in the bed with the compressions.
In terms of ventilation, the child is not receiving any. Which would lead me to believe they basically brought the child in, started CPR, got him on the monitor, recognized that he was in asystole, and called it. It's Gaza and it is likely they save their intubations for those that they can save, not a flat lined trauma victim.
As for the body not looking dead, his head sure is wobbling around like a dead person. And Angela is correct, rigidity after death begins roughly three to four hours later, so the arm comment is ridiculous.
I can't comment on ballistics and the like, but I will say the allegations about the CPR not being real are made by someone who apparently doesn't really know what they are talking about. And unfortunately they are being propped up by doctors in the comment section who don't seem to be looking at it objectively.
Pretty shameful really.

You are all correct. Any death (if this child was really dead, only they know) is regrettable, and there is nothing inherently wrong with Islam. It's the radical clerics and war-mongers using the name of Allah and Mohamed, calling for Martyrs (Kamakazi pilots in WWII) from a population that figures their families will be better off with the money that Hamas gives them for their deaths (as well as the many virgins they'll meet, supposedly, in heaven).
What we must not lose site of is that when people are only shown one side of a story, they tend to side with those who are "educating" them. Perhaps, if anyone _in_ Palestinian territories has Internet access and can correct me, then I will be wrong in saying that the majority of people there are NOT ALLOWED to get their information and education from anywhere other than their clerics and a biased media.
Remember a few months ago when battery acid was thrown on a few girls on their way to school trying to get an basic education?! If this is permitted to continue, then there is little hope for a turn to prosperity for those struggling to survive; the only way out they see is through violence directed towards those who they are TOLD are the problem by their clerics (Israel for "insurgence").
In case anyone wasn't aware, Israel has a 3-pronged counter-attack strategy for dealing with terrorists:
1. Find the terrorists.
2. Find the organizations responsible for funding or aiding the terrorists.
3. Find the town/city/state that the terrorists attacked from and/or hide in.
This is supposed to dissuade cities, countries and good people from harboring terrorists through economic loss.
Asside from lack of education, another real problem is the governments of the countries where peaceful settlers were once living. Those countries allied to attack Israel back in 1967 and 1973 (6-day and Yom Kippur wars), and on many other occasions... After both of these wars, Israel GAVE BACK most, if not all, of the land it had secured, and the (Palestinian) people on that land -- caught in the middle -- were not accepted by those countries' governments... Who do these poor people have to turn to if they do not/are not allowed to accept Israel's aid??
Unfortunately, it seems that the militant factions -- remnants from those wars, who continuously and randomly send rockets into Israel are refusing to acknowledge the loss of life of these poor people from defensive retaliation, are refusing to see and let these people see the reality of what caused this conflict and are refusing to let their brethren and others move on to seek a more prosperous, cooperative way of living WITH their neighbors of their own free will. This is a shame. I do pray this will change through better "education" and more neutral media coverage.
Thank you for reading. Shalom.

You see, I do not have much of a hypothesis, it is you and a few other people putting forth a conspiracy theory that the video is a fake who are stating a hypothesis that remains very much unfounded.
But there is no evidence of fake, just a series of rather dubious statements on how we are supposed to interpret a confusing little flick.
Did anybody say "Loose change"? So far, that's about where you're at as far as I'm concerned.
I still see a dead boy, a doctor who knows the patient is dead, and another person in a robe doing half-hearted going-through-the-motions CPR.
I am not sure of what is actually going on. But I am sure that you are peddling a conspiracy theory that is unsubstantiated.
As for all the self-proclaimed "doctors" commenting here on the web, I am sure that a few medical journals would be interested in a well founded article exposing doctor Gilbert, a reknown professor of Emergency medicine, as a fake.
Your whole case seems to rest on the apparently half-hearted movements which may or may be not be attempts at CPR.
That's not a very strong case.
(English is not my native language, please forgive any mistakes.)

Faking A Civilian Death or faking CPR?
To me the death is real.
Not the CPR.
But why the title is Pro-Hamas Doctors Caught Faking A Civilian Death, isnt supossed Pro-Hamas Doctors Caught Faking A CPR???

With all the death in Gaza, I don't know why anybody would need to fake one.

Allegedly he's a doctor, but that means nothing in terms of credibility. A tool for the terrorists palestinians comes in all shapes and sizes. The only thing common about them is that they are all idiots.
As are you.

There's a hate towards Israel that journalists are contributing to in a shocking way here. And there's a reason why som many pro-palestine rallies have turned into pure voilence, yesterday they even let children go in front in a manifistation for "peace" here in Oslo. Of course it turned violent and they have now excused their methods by saying the children were put there to prevent the demonstrators from turning to violence.
It's just appaling, and we all need to wake up and face this death cult!

Look at time 0:40 on the video. You can clearly see tape across the right side of the child's face indicating he has already been intubated. Prior to 0:40, when the tech is handing the doc some material, there is a vent behind him. The youtube video is poor quality. If you go to little green footballs blog, there is much more high quality video direct from the network and you can see the detail much better.
Also on that better video you can see the child be compressed into the bed slightly with compressions.
I've heard lots of people claim the airway is not in control here, but no one has taken the time to look and see that it very likely is. Of course, I can't see the patient's face, but neither can you. I do see evidence of an ET tube in place though.
