They're reporters and they want to continue to report. Antagonizing the palis isn't the best way to get back in to report.
I'm sure the keyboard heroes will have all kinds of solutions to what they would do if only they had been so lucky as to be held hostage.

I have no solutions, but I do know this. I would never, under any circumstances imagine myself returning from such an ordeal and saying,

"I want to thank everybody. I am happy to be here. I hope that this never scares a single journalist away from coming to Gaza to cover the story because the Palestinian people are very beautiful and kind hearted," Centanni told reporters.
"I am happy to be alive" might have been a more appropriate terse statement; I am not suggesting he was obligated to shout "Muck Fohammed!".

As for "wanting to continue to report", no, thank you. We don't need another CNN feeding us selective official terrorist propaganda for years under the guise of news.

I am capable of knowing perfectly what "palestinians" are like from their actions, thankyouverymuch!

They weren't quite safe yet, IMO, but that was over the top. The Palestinians and beautiful are not words I would use. He could have been more vague. I hope the best for these men, as it was a horrifying situation I'm sure, but I am disappointed the same.
