Earlier this week, Palestinians reported that Mohamed al-Farmawi, a 15-y/o Palestinian teenager, was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers while protesting along, or trying to cross (depends who you ask), the security fence between the Gaza strip and Israel.
The Israeli army denied the reports, saying it is true shots were fired, but no one was hurt. The report, "obviously", was accepted as true, and was reported as such in dozens of newspapers, websites, and all other sorts of media reports.
Today the late Mohamed al-Farmawi returned home.
It might be a side-affect of the Easter, and it might be that again the Palestinians were lying, but Mohamed al-Farmawi was never killed, he was never shot, and in fact - he was never in the area of the shooting.
Instead, Mohamed al-Farmawi was in Egypt.
Maybe he was looking for a job, maybe he was looking for some food, and maybe he was looking for trouble, just like any other normal teenager, but the fact is one: Palestinians blamed Israel for the killing with no proof, and the world took the bait without asking "redundant" questions such as "where is the body?".
Keep that in mind the next time you hear such stories, and question your news sources.
Question them - and let them know you question them, so maybe they'll actually look for answers.
