Muhammed al-Dura, as mentioned before, was the young Palestinian whose death inflamed Muslim passions and helped ignite the 2000 Intifada. Recently, a French court acquitted blogger Philippe Karsenty of libel for accusing French TV2 of fraudulent reporting regarding al-Dura's death.
British journalist Melanie Phillips writes that a boy of that name died in a Palestinian hospital two hours before the alleged shooting by Israeli soldiers took place. Read about it here. People are comparing this case to the famous Dreyfus Affair 100 years ago. Then a French Jewish army captain was falsely accused of treason; now the state of Israel is falsely accused by French TV of child murder. (Thanks to Jihad Watch.)
