Commenter "Joe in Australia" has found some "Nakba Day" video from last year, at the exact same site as the Beitunia incident.
In this video we see more of what the press does during these demonstrations: They stand right next to the people throwing Molotov cocktails. Cheers erupt when one of the firebombs hits a Jeep.
Presumably, this is the sort of stuff that was happening around the corner, in the blind spot of the famous CCTV video.
But just try to get the mainstream media to release this footage of them hanging around with their firebomb-throwing pals. No, they are looking for footage that appears to show Israeli police firing at people who are taking a break from the fighting.
You know CNN and AP and AFP have footage from this year that looks exactly like this - but they don't think it is newsworthy.
Just another example of how cameras can lie.
Keep in mind that essentially every cameraman in these situations is a Palestinian Arab stringer.
