Independent Media Center, Israel http://indymedia.org.il "Fair and Balanced " My BacksideMonday 17 Mar 2003 author: Clark A. Jerr (malark@cox.net)

This is only the beginning of Israel's blatant disregard for human life. No, its not the first murder, but, its the first in a series that will be hidden in the U.S. media behind the guise of Iraqi War coverage. If Fox news, to mention just one, was really fair and balance; thier report of Rachel's death would have at least mentioned the eye-witnesses and what they saw. Instead, they reported the incident as an accident saying she fell. Any intelligent person knows that bulldozers are fairly slow moving machines. It seems to me that the driver would have had time to apply the brakes unless Rachel threw herself directly in front it having a running start. Another Israeli geets away with murder (Liberty 2).
