"Just moments after this picture was taken, Muhammad al-Durrah was shot dead. Now the 12-year-old boy has been turned into a new martyr for the Palestinian cause.
"For 45 minutes, Muhammad's father tried in vain to shield him from gunfire as they crouched against a concrete wall near Netzarim in the Gaza Strip.
"The whole scene was caught on camera by a France 2 cameraman, and has been played repeatedly on Palestinian television.
"The footage shows the boy's father, Jamal al-Durrah, waving desperately to Israeli troops, shouting: "Don't shoot". But the terrified boy is hit by four bullets, and collapses in his father's arms.
"An ambulance driver who tried to rescue the boy and his father was also killed, and a second ambulance driver was wounded."
"Here's a story typical of US press coverage. The Palestinians shot him, according to the IDF."
It was seen on TV. The bullets were coming from the Israelis.
You really can't blame the Americans, they don't get any balanced information. As a result they fund this genocide.
