WHO KILLED THIS TEEN?

Backspin is reporting that The Associated Press, under the headline "Palestinian Teen Killed in Gun Battle" has a new article on the death of a Palestinian teenager. The boy was caught in a firefight between two Palestinian gangs and the Palestinian police. No Israelis were anywhere near the scene.

The picture (below), which runs with the caption "Israeli army soldiers watch Palestinian suspects during a routine military operation searching for militants north... " is old file footage. Strange that they would select such a picture to accompanying an article about an event in which no Israelis were involved.

What do you think?

The usual bias. There are countless examples of stories about suicide bombings in which the story is accompanied by a picture of the bomber's mother crying.
