A rare event occurred in NBC's In Depth report on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Martin Fletcher gave equal time to a spokesman from Hamas and a spokeswoman from the Israel Defense Force, a parity not observed during the coverage of the fighting in the Gaza Strip over the New Year. "These confessions confirm the criminal and terrorist mentality of the Israelis," was the Hamas soundbite Fletcher used after Israeli soldiers admitted they "intentionally destroyed Palestinian property and killed civilians." The IDF opened an investigation into reports of willful vandalism of Palestinian property and casual murder of women and children. Its counter soundbite went as follows: "It is important for me to say that the IDF policy is to save lives on both sides."
