To Die in Jerusalem
HBO is due to air a film drawing moral equivalence between a suicide bomber and victim. The NY Times writes that To Die in Jerusalem was inspired by a Newsweek cover featuring Rachel Levy and Ayat al-Akhras.
Come to think of it, the film could've been inspired by the Gray Lady's own coverage of the March, 2002 attack.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference To Die in Jerusalem:
The film doesn't compare the two sides, especially in a moral sense, but it does show the story of both mothers - the mother of suicide bomber and the mother of Israeli victim. Even more so, the film is a journey of Abigail, the mother of the Israeli victim, to try and meet with the mother of the Palestinian suicide bomber...it is a very brave and courageous act of a grieving mother who not only wants to find answers to the death of her daughter, but also wants to find solutions to the conflict.

no moral equivalence was made between the two girls. and what i found saddest in the piece was that due to the parents constantly lying about what drove their daughter to commit such a heinous act, we will never know her motivations. but golda meir once said "Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us." and from listening to ayat's parents...that time is not yet upon us
