PA Blames Israel for Palestinian murder
By Itamar Marcus


Introduction
The NY Times reported yesterday that a 16 year-old Palestinian boy was
murdered by members of the Palestinian terror organization, Al Aqsa Martyrs
Brigade, when his family tried to stop the launching of a missile towards
Israel from their yard. The official Palestinian Authority (PA) daily reported
his killing as an act of the Israeli army "when an Israeli tank opened fire
from its machine guns".

PMW has repeatedly documented the Palestinian Authority policy of distorting
news and blaming Israel for events including killings that were internal
Palestinian conflicts. This is an additional example among many.

The following are the accounts as reported in the NY Times and the distortion
in the PA daily Al Hayat Al Jadida:

NY Times Report:

Militants Force Palestinian Family
Into an Agonizing Choice

â?oOn Friday, four members of Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, an armed branch of
Yasir Arafat's Fatah movement, returned to [Beit Hanun] to try to set up a
launcher in front of the [Zanin] family's house. The family protested, said
Amna al-Zanin, a member of the family. The militants drew weapons. Three shot
into the air, but a fourth fired directly at the family, wounding Ms. Zanin
and hitting her 15-year-old nephew, Hassan al-Zanin. He died later at Shifa
Hospital in Gaza City; doctors said the bullet had penetrated his heart.
"Even if we ask them not to fire from our land, that doesn't give them
permission to shoot at us," Ms. Zanin said in a telephone interview from her
bed at Alawdah Hospital in Jabaliya. "It's very painful that a Palestinian
bullet was directed toward a Palestinian chest." Her 18-year-old nephew was
hit in an ear, and her 20-year-old nephew was struck in the hand.

Palestinian Authority Report:
â?oYesterday morning the 15 year old boy â?" Hassan Jamil Al-Zanin - became
a Shahid (Martyr) and three other residents were moderately injured... when an
Israeli tank opened fire from its machine guns at a group of residents that
were at the entrance to the Beit Hanun town in north Gaza. Palestinian
security sources noted that the Israeli tank fired at the residentsâ?T
homes... and led to the boy becoming a Shahid (Martyr) ... Eye witnesses from
the town said that the boy Al-Zanin became a Shahid when an Israeli tank
opened fire at a group of residents while a group of the resistance [fighters]
were hiding bombs in the path of Israeli tanks in the area. Residents
explained that a dispute broke out between some of the armed men and people
from the Al-Zanin family and as a result of the dispute near their house the
occupation fired heavily, which led to the boyâ?Ts becoming a Shahid.â?

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
