Media Bias: Palestinian victim

The Israeli government has returned the body of a Palestinian man who hurt a border officer. A mass Palestinian funeral is expected. The body of the man was returned with some organs missing, and Palestinian officials are looking more into that.

The body of Ibrahim Safaqi was returned to Palestinians after he was shot when he injured an Israeli police officer with his car near the borders in Halhul.

The return of the mans body was not given back to where it belongs and the Palestinians immediately, and Israel delayed the return of the body. The official laws were not followed as the return was delayed with missing organs, which has raised speculation that they have been cutting off some of his organs in the time being, as the body that has been returned had missing organs.

Palestinian officials also claim that this is not the first time this has happened, and there were many similar cases that have been happening before. It has been believed that occupied forces have harvested organs from the Palestinian victims.

Israelis returned the body of the victim under the condition that they would deny the palestinians from throwing and organizing a mass funeral for the victim.

However the Palestinians obviously view that as being unfair and will organize a mass funeral for the victim very soon.

Hebron in the last two weeks has been a major site of public campaign urging the return of many Palestinian bodies, that have yet to be returned.

  1. I liked how you turned around the harsh comments into less harsh as you said in class today. You clearly show more favour to the Palestinians in this article compared to the actual article.

  2. Your pastiche is very well written with various types of biases clearly demonstrated, you implemented relevant Palestinian perspectives to show bias through source control. one way you could improve is to implement statistics to show bias through statistic manipulation
