I tend to trust Fallows in this. I imagine the tapes will probably show that the Israeli soldiers did not kill the boy, and that the cause of his death was either unclear or the result of a Palestinian bullet. Either way, it should be pretty obvious that when you’re dealing with such murkiness, the best thing to do is throw as much light as possible on the story. It just seems strange that it has taken two court cases to force France 2 to do just that.

I'm the "obsessive" Gal refers to in his article, with a link not to my coverage of the al Durah affair, but to my coverage of the phenomenon of "Pallywood." What I wonder is, has Gal actually looked at the material I have up there (check out the archives for the raw material)? If so, what's his critique of my analysis? Does he think these scenes you see taken by Palestinian cameramen are "real" and not staged?
