Subject: RE: BS: Who Are the Terrorists? Part II
From the drawings I saw in the press it didn't seem in any way unlikely that the bullets that killed Mohammed and the ambulance driver trying to get to him and his wounded father could have come from Israeli soldiers.

I had a hunt around, looking for that Time article - I put Mohammed al-Durrah in a search engine together with Time Magazine, but it didn't cme up.(That doesn't mean I'm denying its existence or anything, for what it's worth.)

Still that combination came up with some interesting stuff, including this article by an American journalist called Eduardo Cohen.

Worth reading. Here is a quote: "Because of the major role that the United States plays in life and death issues in the Middle East, American editors and reporters have a special responsibility to constantly examine the fairness of their reporting and how critically they examine information they present to the American people. And they need to examine the possibility of their own racism and begin treating Palestinians and other Arabs as equal citizens whose lives carry just as much value as Jewish Israeli lives."
