So we now have another classic example of the Media's insatiable obsession to find any tiny negative story about Israel and explode it into an international incident.
Every TV news channel (and all the major newspapers) has been running the story of an "Israeli West Bank settler running over Palestinian children". Even the one news channel that is supposed to be "not hostile" to Israel - Fox News - went big on this one presenting it as an outrage. But take a look here for the full video which as far as I know no western TV channel has screened.
The full video speaks for itself and the question that needs to be asked is why would editorial staff in the UK and the USA not use the full version rather than a version which so clearly presents a lie? I've been racking my brains over that one and can only come up with the answer: anti-semitism. And incidentally this was not in the "West Bank" as every news outlet reported. It was in East Jerusalem (Silwan) where the dispute is about properties that have not only been bought legally but were actually were owned by Jews before the Jordanian occupation of 1948-67. Even the notoriously left-wing Israel judiciary accepts that.
Update: It seems that youtube has censored the above full video - you can now only watch it if you are registered as over 18. Elder of Ziyon has more on the original story and an update on further attacks against Jewish drivers in Silwan.

That video was a set up by al jizeera and hamas!
And no one comments on the snuff-movie quality of it!
How those children were forced by the older arabs to throw themselves at the car!
It was one of the most nauseating things I have ever seen, and all of them things that muslimes do do either eachother or to non-muslimes!
We are truly in the Darkest Age!!
