Israeli army says no action on wounded reporters

We're talking the Israeli reporters, ABC, NBC, CNN, BBC, Reuters, Agent France Presse, etc.

Thank you for providing the list.
It's gonna save me time typing next time someone asks for a list of lame, liberal, lying, "Palestinian"-loving news services...

Journalists are terrorists? In what way does gathering news equate with terrorism?

"It has been said that Journalists are terrorists' best friends, because they are willing to give terrorist operations maximum exposure. This is not to say that journalists as a group are sympathetic to terrorists, although it may appear so. It simply means that violence is news, whereas peace and harmony are not. The terrorists need the media, and the media find in terrorism all the ingredients of an exciting story. Their attitude to terrorism has run the entire gamut from exaggerated respect to sycophancy, such as calling a terrorist a freedom fighter, an activist, a militant or a revolutionary. The media cannot ignore terrorism, but society would certainly be better off If the media were not driven by sensationalism." So writes Walter Laqueur in his hard-hitting book on new terrorism in the 20th century.
Scores of journalists are still imprisoned in Turkey, most having been accused of having links with terrorist groups. Information on the specific cases is very difficult to obtain.
An article appeared in the 13 August edition of the Lebanon-based Palestinian weekly, Al-Manar, stating that there is serious thinking among the Palestinians about obtaining biological weapons, according to a special dispatch by The Middle East Media Research Institute. The Al-Manar article was signed by Taufiq Abu-Khosa, Deputy Chairman of The Palestinian Center for Information Sources-Gaza. MEMRI notes that The Palestinian Center for Information Sources in Gaza was directed by Jihad Al-Wazir, the son of Abu Jihad [former second in command for Yasser Arafat and head of PLO s military forces]. In the past, the Center received American aid, but once the aid was stopped, the Center was transferred to the Palestinian Journalists Association. It is now managed by Deputy Chairman, Taufiq Abu-Khosa.

Oh...maybe you mean only Islamic journalists are terrorists.

No, there are other journalists that support and enable Islamic terrorists.

Beg your pardon; I see what you mean.

It's about time

So their real offense is not newsgathering, but being Islamic. Why didn't you say so?

It sounds like you can't make up your mind whether Islam is a religion of peace or terrorism.

Murdering millions of Israelis and Americans is the near-term goal of an assortment of Islamic terrorists and the regimes that sponsor and support them. I can't think of a single Islamic journal supporting our war on the terrorists, can you ?

The City of Detroit was not established until 1701.

Hey!
Muslim/Arabs and their useful idiots are allowed to make up stuff.
It's in the Muslim/Arabprop user guide.

There's no getting out of this one. It's being shown worldwide and all of your screaming and throwing fits on FR isn't going to change things the least little bit.

It's obviously a "Palestinian" Hamas Technical Services forgery to make the Israelis look bad.
No. Wait. It was "Palestinians" hired by Mossad to impersonate IDF personnel so that the reporters could make the IDF look bad and then make a documentary about it.

Yep, hta's probably it.

(Attempted intimidation via false accusation is a form of terrorism, BTW.)

Wow. It is?
Is that from a Latin dictionary or an Arabic one?

It's funny though.
Only a clown would suggest any kind of equivalency.

A good story for any moron wondering why the US military wouldn't agree to wet nurse the press. I hope the IDF improves their aim if El-Jism is involved.

no one could excuse what happened

How come you don't want to talk about Palestinian intimidation of journalists which I described in my post #27? How about their attempt to confiscate the film of the 9/11 parties and arrest of journalists who might portray them in a bad way.

From Reporters Without Borders

October 15 2001
Repression against journalists intensifies

In a letter to deputy Minister of Interior, Ahmed Saïd Tamimi, Reporters without borders, (Reporters sans frontières - RSF) protested against the arrest of Alaa Saftaoui. "The Palestinian authority is going further and further: no longer content to intimidate journalists, it now arrests them. We ask for explanations on this arrest", said Robert Ménard, general secretary of the organisation. "We are also worried about the fact that now decrees ban journalists from covering demonstrations", he added.

According to information collected by RSF, on 11 October the Palestinian police arrested Alaa Saftaoui, editor-in-chief of the weekly Al Istiqlal, a mouthpiece for the Islamic Jihad, the Islamic radical movement. That same day, in an article, the journalist had written that he found the Palestinian Authority "very weak" and demanded "the removal of all heads of the security services". Moreover, on 12 October, the Palestinian Authority issued a decree banning journalists from covering a demonstration of the Islamic Djihad in the centre of the West Bank, in the Al Maghazi refugee camp. The AFP journalist was escorted by the police out of the camp while other journalists could not enter the camp.

Following the attacks in the U.S.A., some Palestinians expressed their joy, in front of cameras. Since then, the Palestinian Authorities has tried to preserve its image on the international scene by stopping these demonstrations. On 8 October 2001, in Gaza, police prevented journalists from covering an anti-American demonstration through to the end. A cameraman with the French TV TF1 was arrested for three hours and at least four journalists were assaulted. During this demonstration, said by the police to be illegal, two Palestinians were killed [We didn't hear about it because it couldn't be blamed on the Israelis--Alouette]. Journalists were also banned from covering incidents which occurred after the funeral of one of the two victims. On the same day, in the territories under its authority, the Palestinian Authority decided to ban interviews with Palestinians on the attack launched by the United States in Afghanistan. "We don't want anything which could undermine our image", explained a senior official who required anonymity. Since 9 October, access to Gaza is forbidden to foreigners, including journalists. The Palestinian Authority justified this measure, explaining that it was not able to secure the safety of foreigners against possible attacks. Moreover, on 18 September the Palestinian police at Bethlehem announced the implementation of a new regulation concerning Palestinian television and radio stations. These should not broadcast any news concerning calls for general strikes, nationalistic activities or demonstrations, or concerning security matters, without permission from the police or National Security Services. On 11 September 2001, police forces and armed gunmen prevented journalists in Nablus from covering celebrations following the New-York and Washington attacks. Moreover, on 14 September 2001, five journalists were detained by the Palestinian police. They were covering demonstrations in the Nusseirat refugee camp in memory of the perpetrator of the suicide-attack on 9 September, at Nahariya, in Israel. During this commemoration, a portrait of Osama bin Laden was held up by young people.

Why do the Palestinians always get a free ride with you?

And stupid ad hominem (that's Latin) attacks are a form of intimidation.

So it's not really terrorism you're against; it's Islamic terrorism. Sory; I should have understood from the get-go that your stance is not one of principle but cheerfully ruthless self-interest.

So it's not really terrorism you're against; it's Islamic terrorism.

I'm against the Islamic terrorism that is directly threatening the very survival of Israel and America. If non-Moslems join that terrorist alliance they will share its fate. It does not seem that you share that sentiment or root for our team.

As an added bonus, we get to pacify and/or destroy other terrorist organizations in the world (IRA for example). The President will only warn them once (well maybe twice).

Sorry; I should have understood from the get-go that your stance is not one of principle but cheerfully ruthless self-interest.

Even if you are an innocent bystander you will benefit. We won't ask you to do any heavy lifting.

FRY 'EM

The US should not go to war for Israel either.

There are no US troops fighting for Israel, nor has Israel requested US soldiers to fight for her. Unlike some Muslim countries where US has to go in to fight.

The US should not go to war for Israel either.

We have gone to war because a world-wide network of Islamic terrorists attacked our capital, citizens, and armed forces. Israel is an ally, being a fellow-target and all around elder brother. What does that make you (besides jealous) ?

I assumed it was a typographical error and derived no humour from it. I'm more concerned about which Islamic terrorists she has contacts with. 1996 in Beirut = Hezbollah

They don't, however, the discussion of Pal misdeeds are the topic all the time.

That is because they are predictable, easily recreatable and repeatable, being so frequent.

Israel is a valued ally. President Bush has a heart for Israel. That really bothers you deep inside. What is it that makes you tick ? Why are you so troubled by Jews living in peace and security in the Middle East ? If the Islamic terrorists would simply cease and desist, elect Hanan Ashrawi and make a deal this could be over with in weeks or months. Why do you suppose they will never do that ?
