Sulaiman Mahdi, who leads a simple farmer's life, said he did not plan to sue the Israeli army for his son's murder.
"I only hope the Israeli army takes care such a thing doesn't occur again. There are lots of children here who work with their parents and I hope Khalid will be the last casualty."

at the end the jounalists tried to approach an Isreali personnel carrier that was watching them- they approached waving a white flag- the Isrealis shot and killed the British journalist.

In the Middle East, a white flag means nothing. Walking up to someone who doesn't want to be approached means everything.

The documentary haunted me, I have to admit.

And there was no mention on national news that I saw- concerning the murder of the BBC reporter.

And the Isreali's are God's Chosen people?

Since this is AlJazeera.net, I'll be happy to assign credibility to this story if it is corroborated by an organization that does not have a reputation for presenting outrageous, brazen falsehoods as "news".
AlJazeera.net claims that Yediot Ahronoth carried this story, so it seems logical to see what Yediot Ahronoth actually has to say, wouldn't you agree?
I am unable to find an english-version website for that newspaper, and can't read Hebrew, but perhaps someone else can?
For what it's worth, I'm not sure why this is in the "War on Terrorism" forum, but just about everything Middle East finds its way here, so I guess that's the way it is.
I strongly recommend making sure this story is true before jumping on the bandwagon. To do less would be to sell one's honor for a very low price.
Edit: AlJazeera.net is apparently a different outfit from AlJazeera.com. Both sites refer to a television channel, but I not sure which one is actually associated with the Al Jazeera channel we all know and love. Beware.

If there's an Israeli and a Palestinian involved, you just know the Palestinian is the innocent party, unless his remains are splattered all over a two-block area and thirty Israeli are also dead or wounded.
