Ironic Moment as Rocket Interrupts French Reporter
Tisha Be' Av Walk (around the Old City Walls) ^ | 8/3/2014, 8:38 PM | By Gil Ronen

A reporter for France 24, Gallagher Fenwick, was reporting from Gaza Friday and explaining how its residents' “food security” has been affected by the fighting there, when something unexpected happened.

"This was a rocket,”, a rattled Fenwick told his audience, “this was a rocket, rockets were just shot right next to where we are standing, so I'm not going to stand here very long because usually there's a strike just moments after this occurs.”

The occurrence proves Israel's contention that Hamas fires rockets from among civilians, using them as human shields and manipulating any civilian casualties that are thus incurred, in order to make Israel look bad.

The reporter is a total scum bag.

That series of rockets was launched from so close by that he had to know they were there.

We even see what is possibly one of the Hamas rocket launch crew run into the background of the video.

The reporter deserves to be greased by the Israeli counter battery fire.

Counter-battery is a beautiful thing...except when it’s coming in on top of you. :-)

The key question is whether this report will see the light of day on a US network where the constant drumbeat is of Israel firing on hapless Gaza citizens. My money is on NOT!

Oh how halpless Hamas is, food security in this "safe zone"
WHOOSH! Rockets from the so called food security area.

The media there needs to be killed while sympathizing and promoting the Hamas propaganda.

This is the same piece of excrement from “France 24” who did another story earlier the same day called “UN, US condemn deadly shelling of Gaza school” standing outside the school. Any bets on him changing his outlook of the conflict once he realizes he was being used as a human shield?

Three Israeli teens are abducted and killed by Palestinians, escalated to this, with the world blaming the Israelis. And now I’m to believe there’s someone named Gallagher Fenwick reporting for France 24? What planet am I on?

Propaganda is already at work on YouTube.

I went to YouTube to get the direct link for this video and found that the vid is posted twice. The posting I linked above has this title:

"Reporter Interrupted By Live Rocket Fire In Gaza"

But at the top of the search results, the exact same video is posted with this title:

"HORROR: France 24 Reporter Interrupted, Ducks for Cover live on TV as Israel Rocket Strikes"

The Moslem/Hamas/Gaza propaganda machine is in high gear!

(Anchor talking to reporter) “You go Gaza”.

Idiot.

Maybe you need a few more towelhead “youths” to come into France and start blowing things up.

Did they edit the video to show bombs going off? Or the real rockets being fired?

Holy crud this is disgusting, even of France. They are all enemies now.


Dear EU,
We helped you every time to fend off the hordes. You can now F-off and fend for
yourselves when they come for your heads while your citizens are unarmed and helpless.

Whoa! Watch this similar video until the end. Look at the woman in the white pants who runs into on-camera shot. Isn’t that same woman in the video you posted a link to doing the same thing? It must be that the two videos are of the same moment and place: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWGIR6s_nDE
