Tuvia Grossman, then and now
September 7, 2005 15:49 by BackSpin EditorThe Jerusalem Post notes the aliyah of Tuvia Grossman, who became an unwitting symbol of media bias in 2002. After being beaten by a gang of Palestinians near an eastern Jerusalem gas station, an AP photo caption described the American student as a Palestinian beaten by the Israeli soldier on the Temple Mount. The caption outraged Israelis, galvanizing efforts to fight media bias.
Grossman, now 25, arrives in Israel today with Nefesh B’Nefesh. He recently completed his law degree and will work as a legal intern in Tel Aviv. Read more about the Grossman family’s fight with the media and the continued Arab abuse of HonestReporting’s ‘photo that started it all’.

As I have seen from everybody’s comment, you all are supporting Tuvia. Which is very understandable. But… with all of you thinking that Palestine is looking for sympathy by using his photo.. believe me, they dont need his photo to ask for, because they have already got millions of their own that prove how brutal israel is to them. If you think palestinians are terrorists are you dont give a damn about them.. then how about you look at the American activists that were killed by israel?? James Miller, Rachel Corrie and others… maybe.. MAYBE … for once, you will see that Arabs are not fighting for terrorism but for freedom and for peace..
And don’t get me wrong, I do feel bad for those getting killed in Israel.. but guess what? they asked for it!!

It is tragic that the conflict exists in the first place, but so often truth is the earliest casualty in the media wars. I would expect honest errors to be openly apologised for and the record set stright. To intentionally mislead through misinformation, to my mind, is unforgivable and the newsmakers forfeit the right to be heard ever again on any subject.
Well done, Honest reporting, you stand for truth and whether you know it or not, you stand for God, Jesus said all those who love truth, love Him -(?perhaps unwittingly)

To anti-zionist; It IS understandable to support Tuvia. You’re obviously one who hates the Jew;or maybe it’s the Jewish State.I doubt Tuvia has the same hate for the ‘Arab mob’ that they displayed to him. What you need is a good history lesson and to try to answer why “palistinians” errrr refugees (or most of the Islamic world) learn this hatred. I’ll be happy to share with you and would like to know where your hate comes from. Learn these ?’s: When gathering info,who benefits and whats their motive.Hope you had a Merry Christmas! Peace brother.

Could we have found a worse photo of the arrival? Why is he squinting?
This is the only photo that was available? We have a long way to go in the media wars.
