Hmm... I watched the episode on BBC world news as it happened yesterday.

Which side is more civil?

The Isrealis posed the boy numerous times so that he could be photographed by the press. At the same time the Isrealis refused to allow the lad to be questioned by the press.
What is somewhat interesting though: they took the boy into a truck for a while and then emerged to pass along the boys comments about the circumstances leading up to the incident. Once again refusing to allow anyone to question him to get his version directly. He was then wisked away for more "private discussions". Undoubtedly to be "quizzed" (can you think of a better word?) about what and whom he knows.
If the Isreali version of the incident is accurate - why not let the boy be questioned by the press? Sounds like the boy will end up getting used by both sides when all is said and done.
