BBC, which recently announced that filmmaker Michael Moore will be on their team for covering the US election on Tuesday, has just published a second sympathetic photo essay about Israelis in recent months. This one profiles one of the thousands of Israelis who were ‘only injured’ by Palestinian terrorists:
Elad Wafa lives in Netanya, Israel. He is 27 years old and was born in Ethiopia. On the afternoon of 19 May 2002, a Palestinian suicide bomber let off his explosives near the vegetable stall in the market where he worked. Elad suffered severe injuries and is now paralyzed from the lower back downwards.
Elad had plastic surgery on his face and arms. Gradually, he has recovered use of his arms. Only now, two years after the attack, is he trying to stand with the help of physiotherapy.
Like the BBC’s first photo essay sympathetic to Israel, this appears only on the “UK edition” of the BBC’s website — not the “World edition” which is read throughout most of the world.
