replyA team sent by the Israel Defense Ministry to film Palestinian children  rejoicing in East Jerusalem, staged the event that was later circulated in the
 US and around the world.
A member of the team approached the Juhaina Sweets Shop and gave the owner 200
 shekels and asked him to distribute the sweets to the children, according to
 the owner of the shop.
Veteran Israeli political analyst Meron Benvenisti, a former deputy mayor of  Jerusalem, noted in Ha'aretz (Thursday, Sept.13):
"A team from the Spokesman's Office of the Israel Defense Forces was sent to
 film the scenes of joy and candy being handed out in East Jerusalem 'for  public relations purposes,' Benvenisti wrote.
