Good and bad PR for Israeli terrorism

Sally sent me this: "“'We came to show the kids how the Israelis protect themselves and to have a good time,' he tells AFP in between shots at white target paper and photos of men sporting the chequered keffiyeh scarf worn by many Palestinians."

and notice why this guy objects, only because it makes Israelis look bad

"Yoram Bitane, a former head of tourism development for the region, says the range sends the wrong message.    'For years we have been looking to change the perception of Israeli residents of Judaea and Samaria and more specifically of Gush Etzion,'he says, using the Biblical name some Israelis use to refer to the West Bank.  'The image given by Caliber 3 is contrary to that goal,' he said."
