Big Bad Wolf IDF blows poor Arabs' houses down: report

A real headline in the official PA WAFA news agency:


Wind Caused by Israeli Helicopter Blows Away Homes in Jordan Valley
Wind caused by landing Israeli military helicopters Thursday blew away three Palestinian canvas tents used as homes in an area in the Jordan Valley, according to witnesses.

They said the Israeli helicopters landed in the middle of an area where Palestinian herders reside causing three tents to be blown away due to the wind caused by the helicopter blades, displacing three families who were left without shelter.
"I'll huff, and I'll puff..."

Even though this happened on Thursday, not even the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) or B'Tselem have bothered mentioning this on their site, perhaps because they know quite well that a high percentage of Arab stories are completely bogus, and they'll only publicize those that have at least a tiny grain of truth.

The only major site to republish this "news" is, of course, Mondoweiss, since their editorial policy is "if it is anti-Israel, it requires no fact-checking."
