Seeing is not always believing - especially when it comes to Israel


On September 30, 2000, The New York Times, Associated Press and other major media outlets published a photo of a young man -- bloodied and battered -- crouching beneath a club-wielding Israeli policeman. The caption identified him as a Palestinian victim of Israeli brutality -- with the clear implication that the Israeli soldier was the one who beat him.

That young man was, in fact, Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish student from Chicago, who was beaten within inches of his life before being rescued by the Israeli border policeman in the photo.

Honestreporting.com was launched ten years ago to combat the media bias against Israel.

Please check out the interview with Tuvia Grossman, the Palestinian victim who turned out to be an American Jew. Also, he gets to meet the Israeli soldier, Gidon Tzefadi, who saved his life.
