Both Prime Minister Sharon and Foreign Minister Peres have expressed their deep sorrow over the accidental death of a five-month-old Arab baby during the IDF\'s firing two days ago at Khan Yunis in reaction to mortar attacks. Gruesome pictures of the baby have been shown all over the world, as part of a concerted Palestinian effort to shift world public opinion in their favor. The PA has been touting the killing as a \"second Muhammad al-Dura,\" a reference to the 12-year-old boy who was killed during a battle near Kfar Darom at the beginning of the Palestinian-initiated violence. Strong evidence has been produced, however, that the boy was actually killed, or murdered, by Palestinian fire (see \"http://www.geocities.com/rachav/netzarim.html\"). It was only six weeks ago that an Israeli baby, 10-month-old Shalhevet Pas of Hevron, was murdered by a Palestinian sniper bullet to her head.



Three Arab MKs attended the baby\'s funeral today: Ahmed Tibi, Muhammad Barakeh, and Taleb A-Sana. A-Sana said beforehand that the baby had been \"murdered\" by IDF soldiers.
