This article is about how Israeli people invaded Yacoub Area and injured a twelve year old child with bombs and rubber bullets. It claims that undercover Israelis kidnapped four children under twelve. It says that the children tried hurling stones at the invaders to brake free. I think this article was pro-Palestinian. I think this because all it does is bag on Israel for kidnapping, invading, and shooting. I think that it is leaving out some major details that would make this article fairly neutral because the untold facts would be in favor of the Israelis. It is most likely leaving out the reason why Israelis had to invade Palestine in the first place. The kids could have hurt someone or invaded private property, but we don’t know because the article did not share and therefore did not tell us. I think that it is very important to show both sides of an argument, and that is definitely shown in this article. Some people might read this article and right away be pro-Palestine, but no one really knows the true situation from just one side of a story. If this article was pro-Israeli then, it might mention that the kids misbehaved or trespassed. Even if the children did do something wrong that still doesn’t make it right, but it is still always good to share both sides of a story before bagging on a specific group form that story.
