Let Mohammed rest in peace
May 20, 2013
By Joharah Baker for MIFTAH

The boy, crouching in fear behind is equally afraid father as bullets whizzed around them, was killed admittedly by the Israeli army. Later, the army recanted after investigating the tape, saying Durra was killed by Palestinian fire instead. Well now, Israel is changing its story altogether, saying he was not killed at all. In fact, he was probably not even wounded and the French channel that broadcast the footage and brought some pretty bad rap to Israel, had most likely filmed a charade.

Alon was an officer in the Israel Defense Forces’ Combat Engineering Corps and in the Border Police.

May 23, 2013
By Daoud Kuttab
In The Jordan Times
