Amnesty Researcher Admits that Palestinian "Eyewitnesses" Often Lie
(Algemeiner) Elder of Ziyon - Donatella Rovera, an Amnesty field investigator, wrote an interesting article about the challenges of fact-finding in war situations. One of her main points is that eyewitnesses are often unreliable. "In Gaza, I received partial or inaccurate information by relatives of civilians killed in accidental explosions or by rockets launched by Palestinian armed groups towards Israel that had malfunctioned and of civilians killed by Israeli strikes on nearby Palestinian armed groups' positions. When confronted with other evidence obtained separately, some said they feared reprisals by the armed groups."
