From a Memo from Phillippe Karsenty

Dear Friends,

As most of you may already know, on May 21st we won our appeal against France 2 in the al Dura case.

...Today, one week after we delivered a smash in the face to France 2, French media have given virtually no coverage to this incredible court decision.

...However, the game is not over yet. France 2 is still denying the truth and French media, if and when they even mention the case, are still covering France 2's lies.
France 2 has been lying about the al Dura affair for seven and a half years. They are still lying today.

The next battle will be political; we will have to ask the French government to demand that the state-owned TV channel admit that the al Dura news report was a fraud and issue a public apology for broadcasting a staged "killing" and, therefore, an apology for being the party to a colossal historical hoax.

...I cannot thank all the people who helped us achieve this victory but I’d like to express my appreciation to several organizations for their unflagging support: the American Freedom Alliance, the Zionist Organization of America, the American Jewish Congress, Stand With Us and some Washington think tanks. I’d also like to thank two French-language media--Radio J and Guysen.com--whose reporting on the affair, in good times and bad times, was consistently thorough, informative, and honest.

Unfortunately, some people undermined our efforts during this fight for the truth.

The most serious damage to our cause was done by certain members of the American Jewish Committee, notably the AJCommittee's representative in Paris, Valérie Hoffenberg, who for the past three and a half years has worked actively against our efforts to reveal the truth. She functioned as the gate-keeper at the Elysee Palace (the French White House), discouraging serious discussion of the al Dura hoax among decision makers, and blocking access to me and others who were capable of providing evidence of the hoax. Her role was crucial and destructive.


...Thank you for your interest and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

Merci et à bientôt,

Philippe Karsenty
