And now the French courts agree, in a sort of convoluted sense, that there's evidence that one of the major events leading up to the second Palestinian intifada was a hoax, and that all media reports of the event were wrong, leading to further rioting and killing and death.

The footage, and Enderlin's broadcast assertion of Israeli responsibility for the killing of al-Dura, turned the 12-year-old's death into a cause célèbre in the Muslim world. According to Middle East and media expert Tom Gross, "Osama bin Laden referred to al-Dura in a post-9/11 video; the killers of Wall St. Journal reporter Daniel Pearl placed a picture of him in their beheading video; streets, squares and academies have been named after al-Dura. He became a poster child for the Intifada."

French media lied. People died.
