Nidra Poller: The al-Dura Myth - '...We are left with a baseless news report that is kept afloat because the state-owned French television channel that produced it has backed off, but refuses to release a clear-cut retraction. And so Israelis still stand accused as child-killers. Many people are still asking: Who killed Muhammad al-Dura? But the real question is how many innocent people have been killed or maimed because the media broadcast an unsubstantiated "news report" that enflamed deep-seated hatreds in the Arab-Muslim world, and turned sophisticated 21st-century viewers into gullible villagers ready to swallow the latest blood libel and condone a shameful wave of terroristic reprisals against Israeli Jews.'
