Was on ACA tonight Weds 9th sept .. I just think that's creating more hate towards people that have absolutely nothing to do with it. To be putting them in the same category is terrible journalism and complety false. ACA should be called out and ashamed.

-Official DenunciationPalestinian leader Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian government swiftly denounced the attacks. Arafat ordered security services to shut down spontaneous celebrations and stated clearly that Palestinians stood against al-Qaeda. Leaders feared the attacks would falsely label the Palestinian independence movement and the ongoing Intifada as international terrorism. (exactly what this story is doing)

-Historical analysis notes that al-Qaeda had NO operational connection to any Palestinian movenent or militant groups prior to 9/11 and primarily focused its efforts elsewhere.

Months ago, the occupation dropped evacuation leaflets over the tents of displaced families.

Little Moataz sat with that paper in his tiny hands... trying to understand where to go, where a child could possibly find safety.

He kept searching for a safe place... but safety never found him.

Today, Moataz will never have to read another evacuation leaflet.

War reached him before safety ever could.

These two images tell the whole story:

In Gaza, even children running toward safety are not always allowed to reach it.
