Reporters, Human Rights Activists Trash Israel on Secret Facebook Site
(Washington Free Beacon) Alana Goodman - A "secret" Facebook group of foreign correspondents and human rights activists devolved into an anti-Israel hate-fest on Tuesday following the release of a new Israeli government report that cleared the IDF of wrongdoing in the 2000 death of Palestinian boy Muhammad al-Dura. Journalists and activists mocked the report and attacked the IDF in a Facebook group known as the "Vulture Club." Peter Bouckaert, a senior official at Human Rights Watch, dismissed the report as "typical IDF lies." Associated Press photojournalist Jerome Delay wrote, "The IDF thinks the earth is flat, btw."
