Reuters Cameraman Killed in Gaza

I’m very sorry to report that 23-year-old Reuters cameraman Fadel Shana was killed on Wednesday in what appeared to be an Israeli air strike in the Gaza …

...once again the soldiers from the “only real democracy” in the Middle East kill a journalist.

This is appalling, the guy was only 23 years old and he was traveling in a clearly marked car stating it was TV media. He had been working for Reuters for 3 years- no-one can justify this!

It was an airstrike apparently and all you trolls can say what you like but this is an indefensible action by the Israeli’s. SHAME!

Anyone who is a photojournalist/journalist/camera person could only realize how wrong something like this is. There should be a complete investigation and an apology and compensation to this man’s family.

Addendum- The footage reveals it was a tank shell.

another dead journlist in Gaza and the normal Israeli line of ’ we do not target journlist’

yes lisa there should be investigation but nothing will happen, the officer in charge of that tank will most likely get a promotion.

But you should know by know that Israel is ALWAYS the “VICTIM”. Perhaps they should refer to this:

You may think that Jesus invented the phrase “Love thy neighbor as thyself” (Matthew 5: 43, etc.), but like the rest of us He actually quotes the Hebrew Bible.

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke [reason with] thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord. —Leviticus 19: 17-18 (KJV)

Food for thought??
