Actual BBC report, March 5, 2003:
"Settlers offer West Bank 'terror tours'. Jewish settlers are offering special "terror tours" of the West Bank and Gaza, in which tourists will be trained to fire weapons and participate in mock fights with Arab militants..."There's a lot of the 'wow' factor, like going up in an army helicopter and firing machine guns," organiser Jake Greenwald told BBC News Online, "but it is also aimed at training people in how to deal with a terrorist situation". Mr Greenwald said it was also a way of attracting thrill-seekers to Israel at a time when tourism is suffering because of the violence with the Palestinians... So far more than 20 people - including a judge, doctors, and a Middle East lecturer - have signed up from the United States, at a cost of $5,500 each."
