Only 40? And only wounded at that? Jeez, I thought the marksmanship of the IDF was better than that!

What a bunch of morons. It's the same principle as a knife fight. If you're out in the open in a combat zone, you're going to get shot.

(40 cases of journalists wounded by shooting)
Wounded journalists are much more intertaining that head-shot ones who tend to just drop instantly...I used to love Sunday mornings on our squatter's patch...Sunday was fried chicken day...by 10am all us kids were lined up on the fence waiting for Pa to select which chicken neck to wring off...Watching that headless chicken flappin around squirtin blood and sheddin feathers never failed to excite us...We were still yappin about it 2 hours later as we fought over the last piece...

The only thing a reporter or photographer should know when going into a war zone is the art of duck & cover.

The liberal signiature is all over this story, according to the author, since the IDF was not found to have systematically targeted the reporters, the investigation was obviously not thorough enough. Sounds like Gore in Florida.

Are you allowed to recount the story of your wounding?

Went to your Web site. Definitely saw reporters shot. Doesn't mean that's happening deliberately, though.
Anyway, war zones are war zones. I mean, you don't deny that Palestinian gunmen are shooting at Israelis, do you? And that Israelis fire back? It's not a lovely situation, and if you're smack in the middle of it, well you might get hurt. It's not 'fair' for anybody.

Also, since when do you get to 'bump' your own post?

"The message this delivers to soldiers, whether the army intends this or not, is that preventing the shooting of journalists and punishing those who shoot them are not of utmost importance," the FPA said in a statement. Aiding and abetting the enemy in time of war is a dangerous occupation.

Israeli reporters verify itWhich Israeli reporters? Amira Hass, the reporter for Ha'aretz who was ordered by the Israeli courts to pay $85,000 in a libel suit? Amira Hass, the Israeli's answer to Tokyo Rose and Hanoi Jane? That Israeli reporter?

"Israeli reporters verify it"Besides, being a reporter is like being a Muslim ... it trumps all other allegiances and beliefs. They're a Muslim/reporter first, last, and always ... it's the herd mentality.

In simple terms:
In a combat/hostile fire zone, all reporters should be shot.
Survivors should be shot again.
