Philipe Karsenty on the Al Durah Hoax, a modern "blood libel"

A fascinating story of media malfeasance of the most repugnant kind, and the near decade long legal battle of Karsenty, who refused to let it stand, a battle wending its way through the French courts, the end result of which was that France 2 had to admit to the hoax. In the process we see detective work Sherlock Holmes would envy as Karsenty unearths the details of the active and willing conspiracy of press stringer Talal Abu Rhama, and local Gazans, as they created the "modern blood libel."
