(HonestReporting) Simon Plosker - Britain's Sunday Times published a feature on Aug. 4 by advocacy journalist Sarah Helm that focused on Bilal Masoud, 29, who sustained crippling injuries after being shot during violence at the Gaza border fence. Masoud, unable to live with his injuries and a lack of support from Palestinian authorities, eventually committed suicide. The accompanying photo showed Masoud armed only with a slingshot. Now researcher Joe Truzman has revealed photos of Bilal Masoud cradling an AK-47 automatic rifle. The Sunday Times feature is advocacy journalism - whitewashing Palestinian violence, and turning all Palestinians into victims of Israel, no matter the circumstances. You can read my original critique of the article here. The writer is managing editor of HonestReporting.
