Poller, Nidra

Nidra Poller, an American novelist and journalist living in France since 1972, has written about the al Dura controversy since the news was broadcast in September 2000. Broadening her investigation beyond the al Dura myth she developed the concept of lethal narratives, weapons of mass destruction in a war of global conquest. The articles collected here, with a newly drafted Foreword and Afterword, trace the line from the staged "death" of a Palestinian youth to the real threat of an Iranian bomb.
