Amnon Kapeliouk

Amnon Kapeliouk was an Israeli journalist and co-founder of B'Tselem known for his reporting on Palestinian affairs and his investigation into the Sabra and Shatila massacre. Through 2010 the opening said he "was accused by CAMERA of misrepresenting a quote by Menachem Begin to suggest that the Israeli Prime Minister had described all Palestinians in a speech to the Knesset as being 'beasts walking on two legs' when he was only referring to terrorists." Today the word appears nowhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that Kapeliouk was accused of misquoting Begin to make it appear he had dehumanized all Palestinians rather than only terrorists.
