After the recent attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon the media was quick in showing a clip of Palestinians celebrating in the streets. The clip was repeated over and over again to make people think that Palestinians supported this attack and that Palestinians are cruel and inhumane people. It is unfair for Palestinians to be represented as such. The people in the clip were mostly children and the few adults that were celebrating do not represent the rest of the Palestinian community in Palestine or any where in the world. The media not only kept repeating this clip over and over again, but they failed to show the other images of Palestinians who were infront of the American embassy with candles and flowers. This was a human tragedy and not just an American one. Muslims and Arabs died in the World Trade Center as well. People from all over the world were victims of this heinous crime. Over a thousand Muslims have died in the World Trade Center.
