Palestinian Disinformation Center
And still on the subject of the Arab media, Hamas’s mouthpiece, the Palestinian Information Center, have an interesting (read:false and deluded) take on reality. Take this account of the conviction of three members of a group that planned terror attacks:
A Zionist central court yesterday convicted three Zionist fanatic settlers affiliated with an underground Jewish organization [...]
Objectively Biased
Al-Crapeeza, the news outlet that claims to seek objectivity and accuracy, provide us with yet another example to refute this absurd claim. In this case, they rehash a well-worn conspiracy theory with regard to the trial involving their star television reporter-cum-accused terrorist.

Three residents of an underground Israeli extremist movement have been convicted of attempted murder and illegal possession of arms after being caught planning an attack on a Palestinian school in Jerusalem.
The planned attack was [...]
I Dream of Martyrdom (Just Not Mine)
According to Reuters, Afatrat wants to be a martyr.
Speaking to Reuters in his partly demolished West Bank headquarters on Wednesday, Arafat pointed to his machinegun lying on the floor and said he would use it to kill himself if Israel tried to deport or assassinate him.
