I thought I had previously posted on this subject but it must have been on another blog. The story is here except that James Fallows, a left wing writer for the Atlantic, took the Palestinian propaganda version as the truth. Here is another version of the story but it is still not the truth.
It is now widely believed among objective observers of the Palestinian story, few enough as there are, that the boy was never killed and the entire sequence was a propaganda film. A lengthy court struggle in France, pitting the France 2 network and its powerful supporters in the Chirac government, against a single web site owner, has resulted in the defeat of the TV Goliath by the independent David.
Phillipe Karsenty is a hero to all journalists and his improbable win should join the annals of great media stories.
It probably won’t.
More here. This is a big story for Israel but also for all of us who care about truth.
