Pallywood's Muhammad al-Dura Wasn't Killed in Second Intifada

At My Pet Jawa, "IDF Investigation Concludes: Pallywood's Muhammad al Dura Was Not Killed," and Jihad Watch, "Second intifada symbol Mohammed al-Dura didn't really die in 2000 shooting."

And from Jonathan Tobin, at Commentary, "Why the al-Dura Blood Libel Still Matters":

There have been many good accounts of this affair, including this piece by Nidra Poller published in COMMENTARY in September 2005. I’ve also written about it on our blog several times, including this piece from last year about the French court case. Yet even before those were published one of the first Western accounts of the al-Dura affair got to the heart of this problem. James Fallows’s June 2003 article in the Atlantic, “Who Shot Mohammed al-Dura?” pointed out not just the fact that there was good reason to doubt the initial version of the story but that the facts wouldn’t change anyone’s mind because of the iconic status of the photo allegedly depicting the boy and his father. Indeed, he seemed to suggest in a deconstructionist spirit that objective truth was itself impossible since both sides sought to create their own facts in order to prove they were right.
