In the middle of a BBC photo essay about the making of Paradise Now is a photo of a child at a Palestinian rally. The BBC’s caption refers to suicide bombers as “martyrs,” with the only question being whether or not they are heroes. Given the “struggle for freedom,” it’s not hard to see which way the BBC’s views lie. Does this caption make the BBC complicit in the Palestinian culture of death?
Palestinian children learn at a young age about the struggle for freedom. To some, the Palestinian martyrs are heroes. Here a child poses for a photograph at a rally organised by militants.

UPDATE: The BBC changed the caption.
