What Excuse Is There For Firing On Journalists?

[Gromit]

The Israeli Army have fired two 'warning shots 'into the Aljazeera building in Gaza.

Is there any justification for targetting civilian workers in this way?

keyplus, I almost completely agree with you except that one problem with the UN is that a lot of 3rd world politicians use it to line their pockets with money from the richer nations instead of helping their own people.

Sandy Roe - tasteless and out of order in my book

youngmafbog > I'm really not keen on the 4*2's <

i thought it was derogatory to call a jewish person that ?

[sandyRoe]

Where has my post gone?

[WELSHYORKIE]

I reported it - see 12:59

[lady-janine]

not supporting either side but:

the jews are using their weapons to protect their people and the arabs are using their people as weapons.

which is the most ethical?

[AB Editor]

Hi Sandy,

Removed because it was pretty objectionable to some - I know that was the point...

Maybe there is another way of saying it?

[jomifl]

L-J get real, the israelis are using their weapons to kill Palestinians, as many as possible. It is not dissimilar to shooting fish in a barrel. To say that the Palestinians are using their people as a human shield ignores the fact that there is barely a square metre of the Gaza concentration camp that hasn't got someone living on it.

[lady-janine]

jom - where are the rocket launchers coming from?
who is providing all the money for these weapons?
who is providing all the weapons?
where did the money come from to build the tunnels?
who provided all the materials and engineering knowledge to build the tunnels?

I know you think i'm not very bright but it seems to me that this money would have been much better spent providing shelters and anti rocket weapons rather than saying "they (Israel) have indiscriminately killed so . . . . many of our civilians"

which one of use needs to get real!

I don't believe the Palestinians are using their people as human shields.I believe Hamas are using the Palestinian people as human shields.
I believe Israel's battle is against Hamas not Palestinians in general.Civilians become collateral casualties when they are used as the terrorists shields.

lady-janine > where did the money come from to build the tunnels? <

the first tunnels were dug to get some basic items in as everything has to go
through checkpoints and all things are imported and limited as has already been posted it is just one big prison camp

yeah, I bet those nasty Israelis (and Egyptians) used to stop tins of Aldi beans on the border and that's why they had to dig tunnels.

[naomi24]

Dr.F, the Jews aren't expecting a re-emergence of the Messiah. They're still waiting for their bloke to arrive.

LOL @ svejk

The Israelis send warnings before they bomb. do you think Hamas warn before sending rockets ? Of course not !

Thats the whole point of the Range safety instruction."Never point a weapon at any one unless you intend to harm them"That would include using a toy,imitation, or a deactivated firearm to intimidate.The end result usually becomes terminal for someone.
