A Palestinian journalist has complained that the media and others are manipulating the images going out to the world"A mother of one of the martyrs stood by the door of the intensive care unit while crying... relatives and those around her were telling her what she should say to the television cameras: 'Say your son [before he died] prayed and went out.' Another tells her: 'Curse the Arab leaders'... The journalists [in the hospitals] are going overboard in their insensitivity and taking advantage of the [difficult] moments, with the explanation that they are showing this to the world. One cameraman told a mourning mother: 'Hit your face, cry, do some action.'"

Very good point. Why did TV crews flock to the Middle East to cover the Israel attacks, but never covered the attacks ON Israel?
I just posted a link to these videos. Powerful stuff!
Thanks for posting these videos. It gives us a perspective that we rarely see - much thanks to our liberal sided media here in the US.
Euro media is even worse - those idiots who run BBC just don't get it, or maybe they're involved in staging up scenes with the palestinians, making it all look far worse than it really is.
