YIKES!!

that is some crazy $h!t!

somehow i don't think my pepper spray would keep me safe...

[pre-set]

I don't understand... I thought HAMAS and the rest of those types were just the peace-loving victims of a brutal, oppressive, occupation force. Why on earth would they shoot at journalists?

<sarcasm>

[Goon]

More journalists under fire in the Middle East.

[Sean-1966]

You know, I see that and I think that Israel should go in and shut the Palestinians down permanetly. Shooting at un-armed people? Not very peace loving.

I think the farmers on frontier kibbutz' are always armed.Probably didn't make the distinction of the journos.

[Land Rover]

That's just crazy, hearing the bullets smack into the trees and whine as they passed over their heads.

I think the farmers on frontier kibbutz' are always armed.Probably didn't make the distinction of the journos.Yes, but as someone who has learned, the farmers are armed for SELF-DEFENSE. They don't shoot at others into the Palestinian areas, unless they are attacked FIRST. Shooting at the unarmed journalists will do nothing to help the Palestinian's cause.

Shooting at the unarmed journalists will do nothing to help the Palestinian's cause.

Just as shooting at an unarmed westerner doesn't help the Israelis cause.

The whole situation there is bollocks.

unfortunately,it works both ways

I would consider the source of this video. The poster is " israeligirl67" and has a number of propaganda videos on her YouTube page.

I would believe this if it was the BBC reporting. This appears to be some random local reporter hosted by an obviously bias YouTube poster.

I don't really trust Israeli media just the same way I wouldn't trust Palestinian media..... or FOX.

Believe it or not, there is no "good guy" in the Israeli/Palestinian situation to feel sorry for.

Both hold equal responsibility for the never ending chaos.

[Buck Satan]

No sorrow for 2 artificialy created entities goaded into fighting as proxies in a greater conflict? There is plenty to be sorry about. Its a friggin waste...


And as far as being a propaganda piece: just view the video as what it is; a news team under fire. Perhaps you might learn something from it , like the difference between concealment and cover...:)

Nope. No sorrow or sympathy.

After all these years there is no excuse for this conflict to continue unless those involved allow it to continue. If they wanted to really find a lasting solution it would happen. It's in too many people's, on both sides, self interests to keep playing victims of world politics.

There comes a time with all people and every nation, where you have to take control of your own destiny. Ultimately accepting responsibility that the ongoing situation is of their own making.

No matter how much they'd like to blame others. ;)

I don't really trust Israeli media just the same way I wouldn't trust Palestinian media..... or FOX.Unlike most Arab "news outlets" the Israeli media is more like Western media. Most are not owned by the government (I think only one channel is) or are mouth pieces for government propaganda. Yes, they have their biases. But, it certainly isn't close to anything resembling the Palestinian government controlled media. Al-Jazeera may be the only independent news outlet in the Arab world (with a seemingly pro-Arab pro-Palestinian bias). I can't say for sure, since all I know about them is what I have read and heard. I don't know Arabic.

This is nothing new. I gave up shooting in region back in the 1980’s after Israel blew up 2 marked news vehicles and 1marked UN.

Israel’s army claimed from a distance we looked like Hamas and believed we had a “SAM” on shoulder. Even though they searched the news crew ½ hour earlier in the same spot.

It is not worth the money.

[Ace Of Nothing]

I don't trust Western private-run media either. Do you think FOX and CNN are models of good, independent journalism... HA.
