L’Affaire Enderlin

Charles Enderlin is the France 2 Jerusalem correspondent who broadcast the incendiary account of the death of 12-year-old Muhammad al-Dura at the hands of Israeli troops operating in the Gaza Strip in September 2000. Based on film footage provided by a Palestinian cameraman, Enderlin’s report has become infamous among students of Arab propaganda both for its destructive effects and for its probable falsity. The al-Dura affair now bids to join the Dreyfus affair in the French hall of shame. Alluding to the Dreyfus affair, the Weekly Standard titles Anne-Elisabeth Moutet’s interesting article on the al-Dura affair “L’affaire Enderlin.”
