Letter to the Editor and to its Director of Repubblica.it
title: "Beware of professional ethics."
Dear esteemed Editorial Director and Repubblica.it,
with displeasure known to the website of your daily see a page with images received from a news agency, in which an Israeli settler seems to invest without any mercy by car of the poor Palestinian children in Jerusalem.
This is the link: http://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2010/10/09/foto/gerusalemme_auto_coloni_travolge_due_ragazzini_palestinesi-7893598/1/?ref=HREC1-9
I say "with regret" because nobody in the editing seems to have posed the problem of verifying the sources from which those images came apparently so dramatic, nor as to ascertain the facts are actually carried out.
At times, this attitude "hasty" to give the news does not produce damage, but this time, however, because the Republic has unwittingly made an accomplice of a phenomenon that the foreign media called " Pallywood," or the Palestinian Hollywood, which is mounting "on purpose" for the consumption of news media are too busy to give worth checking out their sources.
Consequently, we report here a link to YouTube where the whole sequence is shown without cuts "on purpose", and your attention is also drawn on detail "at the margins" from the stage mother.
As good journalists, you will discover many interesting things that change - and many - the facts, I hope that things deemed worthy of attention and an appropriate adjustment on your part: I do not think Repubblica.it like to be "used ".
The YouTube link is this. I invite you to watch it in full and translated into Italian written in English which appear superimposed: it is they who tell you what you have missed.

understand that in the editorial offices of Italian newspapers, even the most important, most are represented by temporary workers, to whom I extend my deepest sympathy. However, do the work of journalists in this way becomes an operation that has a lot to do with survival and very little with the record.
I hope you understand my disappointment.
Regards,
