Tuvia Grossman
Résumé
Tuvia Grossman is an American-Israeli man who was wrongly identified as a Palestinian in the caption of an Associated Press (AP) photograph of an Israeli police officer defending him from a violent Arab mob. The photograph, taken and marketed by AP during the Second Intifada in 2000, was published in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and other newspapers worldwide, and, along with the caption provided by AP, gave the impression that the Israeli police officer had brutally beaten a Palestinian.
On the eve of Rosh Hashana 2000, Grossman, a student from Chicago who was enrolled at Yeshivas Bais Yisroel in the Israeli settlement of Neve Yaakov (a neighborhood of Jerusalem), hailed a taxi with two friends to visit the Western Wall. When the driver took a shortcut through the East Jerusalem Palestinian neighborhood of Wadi al-Joz, a mob of about 40 Palestinian Arabs surrounded the taxi, smashed the windows, and dragged Grossman out, whereupon they beat him. The mob kicked him repeatedly, stabbed him once in the leg, and then pounded his head with rocks. Grossman managed to run to a nearby gas station where he collapsed, and an Israeli policeman, wielding a club, protected him and threatened the mob. The photograph was taken at that time by a freelance photographer who was at the gas station; in the photo, Grossman is shown bleeding and crouched under the policeman who is shouting and waving his club.
At the outset of the Second Intifada on 30 September 2000, the New York Times and other media outlets published an AP photo of a bloodied Grossman crouching beneath a club-wielding Israeli Border Police officer. The caption under the photo simply identified the two as an "Israeli policeman and a Palestinian".
The victim's true identity was revealed when Dr. Aaron Grossman of Chicago, the father of Tuvia Grossman, sent the following letter to the New York Times:
Regarding your picture on page A5 of the Israeli soldier and the Palestinian on the Temple Mount -- that Palestinian is actually my son, Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish student from Chicago.
