Reply #9: This source acted as if they were quoting the PCHR report

[oberliner]

They literally removed one word from a direct quote from the PCHR report and replaced it with a different word.

If the source had included the actual quote from the PCHR report and then made an editorial comment suggesting that they disagree with the characterization from the report of the people being "arrested" and think instead that they were "abducted" then that would be a fair illustration of what you are describe.

However, to simply change the words of a report in an apparent citation of said source to be more in line with the opinion of the people running the website is exceedingly dishonest.

I do agree with your point about the PCHR report itself being more direct than many of the spin-filled news article one reads surrounding this conflict. I do feel, however, that it is worth checking into the details of this incident if indeed other corroborating or contradictory evidence is available.

I would argue that many people would have a different reaction to a 14 or 15 year old Palestinian youth who was chasing dogs or birds being shot by the IDF than to a 22 year old Palestinian adult who was planting an explosive device at the Israeli border.
