New in PJ Media:
It was one of the most horrific stories of the entire Israel-Hamas conflict, or any conflict. Back in late May, a retired Green Beret named Anthony Aguilar, who had been working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), claimed that he witnessed an incident of such shocking heartlessness and inhumanity that it seemed destined to be remembered as one of the most cruel war crimes in the entire history of the world. There was just one catch: it has now been definitively established that not a word of it was true.
Aguilar said that while he was working with the GHF, he saw a young Gazan boy, whom he called Amir, approach in hopes of obtaining some food, and was given a bag of lentils. Amir was so overjoyed at this that he kissed Aguilar’s hand in joy and gratitude. This touching moment was captured in photos, as is so often the case these days, and Amir went on his way with everyone feeling happy. Aguilar’s happiness, however, was shattered soon after, when Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers began firing on aid recipients, and shot down young Amir in cold blood. Aguilar was featured on news outlets worldwide, and told the BBC, “I’ve never seen such brutality.”

And that was true: he never did, because as it turns out, his whole story about Amir being gunned down was a fabrication. Amir, whose real name is Abdul Rahim Muhammad Hamden, has reappeared in a TV interview, very much alive and not wounded. Fox News reported Thursday that he “has been found alive and was hiding out with his mother.” Why was he hiding out? Because if he had appeared, Hamas would likely have killed him, so as to preserve the story that Aguilar spread worldwide. The propaganda had to be preserved. Eventually, however, he was found anyway, and now the cat cannot be put back into the bag.
Fox journalists conducted an exclusive interview with the boy who goes by the name “Abboud,” and his mother, and noted “the pair appeared excited ahead of their planned extraction from the Gaza Strip. Abboud and his mother, whose name is Najlaa, were safely extracted from the Gaza Strip on Thursday, though the location has not been disclosed in this reporting for their protection.” Abboud observed placidly: “Outside the Gaza Strip is nice.” You can say that again, brother.
Amir/Abboud’s reappearance completely exploded the account of Anthony Aguilar, “a 25-year veteran of the U.S. Army and retired Green Beret Lt. Col.” Aguilar “showed images taken using his body camera footage of the boy approaching him and another contractor clutching bags of food. Aguilar claimed that he and the boy had a touching moment where Abdul, whose nickname is Abboud, kissed his hand and then his face in apparent thanks for the food supplies.” But soon thereafter…
There is more. Read the rest here.

So what happened to Aguilar this Retired Green Beret veteran ? He put IDF soldiers lives at risk. He made Jews look like the villains and Hamas peaceful people. Have they called him out have they made him look like a fool?

Leftists and Islam’s Muslims lie and deceive against Non-Muslims to help gain more totalitarian power and control against Israel, America, and the West. Islam is lies and deceit with cowardly propaganda.
Allah’s cursed Islam, a CRIMINAL-TERRORIST ENTERPRISE and a MURDEROUS-DEMONIC CULT OF BELIEVERS, Terrorist Muslim Soldiers for Allah, continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, industrial-scale slavery, intimidation, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, criminality, genocide, victimhood, censorship, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Quran(Quran 5:14,35; 8:60; 9:41, 88, etc.). Allah in Quran 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels were your obvious enemies.”

Agreed with others…. where is Aguilar and why isn’t her being questioned and or sued for such actions and words. I’d imagine he’s say something like, ‘oh it must have been another boy who looked like amir, that I saw gunned down’ but that would be easy to refute with the videos of that day.
Bexarkat says
I’ve not noticed any comments made by the erstwhile LTC Aguilar since this exposure of the truth. Has anyone or will anyone pursue this?

He’s been *very* quiet the last couple of days…

You can’t be considered a Muslim unless you follow the Quran which includes the practice of Taqiya. Otherwise, you don’t go to Allah’s heaven.

I read where Christian’s haven dosn’t have VIRGINS. On the other hand Islam has VIRGINS and is a great selling point to becoming a follower of Big Moe. No wonder these highly intelligent Muslim males flock to Islam. I wonder what the girls get? Maybe they get to be the eternal VIRGINS. What a religion!
Kepha says
The Christian Heaven has loads of virgins, as well as people who had been married in life. Some of the early martyrs were virgins–unmarried young women killed because they would not sacrifice to the Roman Emperor’s gods. It’s just that according to Jesus himself, they are neither married nor given in marriage in Heaven, but are like (not are)unto the angels. Look at Matthew 19.
gravenimage says
Yes, Kepha.
The Christan heaven just dosn’t offer virgins for violent men to rape.
Jerry says
Your thinking with the wrong head OLD GUY. Perverts and child molesters go to Hell, not Heaven. A sin, is a sin, is a sin. And besides that, I did not read anywhere in the Quran that those Virgins were female human beings. It is implied they are. But they may be female virgin dogs, or pigs, or sheep?
If your god requires you to kill those that don’t agree with you in order to get to heaven, then I would not want to be in heaven with that god. And I won’t.
But my GOD gave his earthly life as a ransom sacrifice to pay for my sin’s. And all have sinned and came short of the glory of GOD. But my GOD paid the ransom sacrifice so that I could spend eternity in Heaven with Him, the God that loves me so much He would dye for me. And not just any death, but by a crucifixion. The most gruesome death a human can do to another human.
But all is not bad news for you OLD GUY. You can be forgiven also, of your sins, and be in Heaven with the true GOD that loves you. All you have to do is admit you are a sinner and in need of a Saviour. And except the free gift of GODs love in the name of Jesus the Christ.
Taffy says
The longer this war gets drawn out, the more opportunities Hamas and the world’s Hamas lovers (including 5he MSM) have to disparage Israel, the IDF and Jews in general, with their lies. If Israel initially responded with a massive bombing campaign, a siege of Gaza, and cutting off all utilities including water, this war would’ve been over in a few months. Sure Gazan civilians (who are actually Hamas lite) would’ve suffered, but the world would’ve had only a small window to spew their hate, but then it would’ve been over and the UN, ICC, Norway, Ireland, SA, etc. would have moved on to other areas that interest them.
James Lincoln says
Taffy,
You made some good points.
