Whereas the Israelis such as left-wing B'Tselem even gives free video cameras to "palestinians", the Arabs attempt to cover up things.
In the Ramallah lynching of two young Israelis, according to firsthand reports, a Polish television crew was surrounded by Palestinian security forces, beaten and relieved of their film of the brutal event.
"I saw how a youth tried to prevented [sic] -- prevented my crew from shooting this footage. My cameraman was beaten."- Said a Polish TV reporter named Wadislaw (full name not revealed).
In the same lynching, a British photographer, Mark Seager wrote in London's Sunday Telegraph Oct. 22: "I was composing the picture when I was punched in the face by a Palestinian. Another Palestinian pointed right at me, shouting 'no picture, no pictures,' while another guy hit me in the face and said, 'Give me your film.' One guy just pulled the camera from me and smashed it to the floor."
Mark Seager also stated "It was murder of the most barbaric kind. When I think about it, I see that man's head, all smashed. I know that I'll have nightmares for the rest of my life. I now know, after seeing the rage, the hate, in their [the mob's] eyes, there will probably never be peace in this region."
Veteran Italian TV reporter Riccardo Cristiano's nose was broken, his cheek gashed, and he almost lost the use of his right eye, as an enraged Palestinian mob almost lynched him as well.
Palestinian sources claimed that the men were armed and "dressed in civilian clothes, apparently on an undercover operation", but their bodies in military uniform can clearly be seen in photographs and in video footage broadcast later on the TV (they were non-combatant IDF reservists who served as on-duty drivers who wandered into Ramallah by mistake, were dragged into a Palestinian police station and murdered).
