Re: Re: In the army, as in life
by Lisa Goldman
So glad you liked the comics! About the strip that refers to the al-Dura incident: take a look at it again. It says that Mohammed al-Dura was fatally shot during an exchange of fire between Israeli troops and rioters. That is a factual account of what happened, no? The dispute was over who shot the bullets that killed the boy, not whether or not he was shot during an exchange of fire. But I think the point of mentioning the incident in the comics is to highlight how terribly divisive and charged that period was.
