Description: Two-page spread photograph showing Palestinian children waiting for the funeral of a militant.

SHORTCOMINGS: DISTORTION OF INFORMATION

Eyewitness 28.02.08 Nablus, West Bank

Caption: Children in the Balata refugee camp near Nablus lean on posters of Palestinian victims of conflict as they wait for the funeral of a Popular Front militant killed by Israeli troops this week.

DISTORTION OF INFORMATION:
Although the caption in the photograph describes the individuals on the posters as “victims of conflict,” fifteen of them were either suicide bombers (for example, the only woman pictured – Zena abu Salem), organisers of suicide bombings (for example, Yusuf al Ardi, depicted at the start of the second row and labeled, “the lion of explosive belts”), or highly regarded fighters from al Aksa Martyrs Brigade, pictured with their weapons.
