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’.

Have just read the distorted story of your experience in Israel at the hands of the media via Media Backspin/ Honest Reporting. Thanks to you and your family for not allowing the media to get away. I am not religious but I feel the need to say, “bless you and may you have a safe stay in Aretz”

Standing for what’s right doesn’t mean we won’t get our teeth kicked in. But stand we will.
Support Israel. Purchase Israeli products in the U.S.

Tuvia, Bless you for all that you had to deal with. This is one christian who is doing all he can by spreading the falsehoods of the media that is bent on telling lies. I proudly wear my ‘United We Stand’ button with the American and the Israeli flag at the federal building I work at. I worship One G-d and that is the G-d of Israel. And blessings to the brave Israeli soldier(s) who stepped in for you!
Shalom, Lawrence

Your story brought tears to my eyes. You are a brave man of convictions to make alliyah. May your children be a blessing for all Israel. I am glad that, through the internet, the lies and distortions of the Arabs and their media collaborators are being exposed.

Information is POWER! But misinformation in the wrong hands is a danger to all.
Tuvia i just heard about you and your ordeal and i’m glad and to know you stood up to this evil.
You are a beacon of hope to those who can take strength from this good news to stand up against terror and falsehood.
May God of Israel bless you and your family.
Arise O! Israel..

Tuvia good luck in Israel.
It does not surprise me that photo propaganda is still alive and kicking… if the media were doing its job properly and reporting objectively, they would not be buying into the propaganda.
God Bless Israel.

Honest Reporting is an eye opener to the world. I will tell everybody in the Philippines and all my friends in other countries to visit your website for truth’s sake.
God bless you Tuvia for your courage to make an aliyah. Your life is but a great challenge to all. We will uphold you in our prayers. Shalom!

Very seldom you can read honest reporting nowadays. Yours was a case of outright insensitivity by the media. God bless you Tuvia.
