Another myth in the making. Once again, the Palestinians are so hypocritical that even a partisan like Amira Hass has to acknowledge it.

About 6 months ago, I fisked an article she wrote about the reluctance of "solidarity" groups like ISM to criticize suicide bombers and armed jihadi groups, even though these groups claim to uphold non-violent resistence. She came up with all sort of excuses for them, but the hypocrisy was too blatant to ignore.

Now Hass writes about a Palestinian who claims to have been beaten by the IDF, but upon investigation admits that he was actually beaten by Palestinian "security forces" for being a "collaborator."

But I'm sure this story will enter the pantheon of anti-Israel myths that persist despite all the facts and attempts to debunk them.
