Honest Reporting has once again caught a Palestinian Arab reporter, and BBC employee -- big surprise -- telling tales contradictory to the known facts:

...Perhaps it is not clear exactly what occurred during this incident. What is clear from CAMERA's investigation, however, is the patent unreliability of Palestinian eyewitnesses and sources along with the media's apparent willingness to report conjecture as fact.
