Caught On Tape: Reporter Hit By Shell In Gaza

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We earlier showed the close-up-and-personal images from the bombing raids between Hamas/ISIS/Al-Qaeda and Israel; but the following clip (which we still have not heard the final conclusion of) shows just how much of a 'surprise' these shellings can be... as a reporter is hit by a shell live on air.

The correspondent, wearing a “Press” jacket, is allegedly reporting from Gaza.

 

After being hit, he falls down out of view of the camera, and is heard screaming.

CNN gave new meaning to the "Blue screen of Death."   I remember watching those videos on air and laughing at just how staged they seemed at the time.  "Is it an attack? Oh it is! Get your gasmask on, Peter!  Is it over? Okay, somebody go get us a hamburger."  LOL.

 

Of course, there was "Syria Dave" several years ago.  He reported from scenes of mortar attack carnage, but then in the unedited video all the "dead" got up and walked off to the next staging area.  It was even commical to hear him signal his buddies for AK-47 gunfire for background noise effects as his reports began.

The ZIonist Parasites don't give a flying fuck who they take out. It their grandmothers get hit and it can help futher their "Victim Mentality" agenda, then they'd line'em up in rows and mow 'em down, just to sway the malleable mush minds of the masses to side with the plight of the Chosen Ones. One must not forget. This "Tribe", within a tribe, is not made up of ordinary human beings. Soulless and heartless, to say the least, is a fair and honest description.

Boy are you a twisted idiot -- you have it backwards, you anti-Semitic ass wipe. Hamas is widely known for using schools and children as war sheilds and using them as suicide bombers. Ever seen a Jewish suicide bomber?  I didn't think so. Jews have more respect for life than you do.  And, they contribute significantly to the preservation of life via major medical and scientific advancement.

What "I think they mean" is exactly what John said.

However, the other two groups don't carry it so far as to impose the jizya tax on non-believers (infidels) at the intersection of church & state...among many other 1,400yr old, dignified, humanist principles...lol.

Thats a handy little piece of information to have right there, for all my secularist/atheist/agnostic friends ;-)

Tue, 07/15/2014 - 11:51 | 4959243 Uncle Remus
Uncle Remus's picture

John's view is pretty much on based on my understanding.

Regarding jizya, my understanding is that it is the tax non-Muslims pay in lieu of the zakah tax muslims are required to pay - not unlike an income tax - complete with forms and calculations, exemptions, thresholds and so on.

My understand is that non-Muslims were not required to serve in the military of an Islamic state, and jizya offsets that as well.

Now can a tax, any tax (or glorified extortion racket if you will), be abused? Absolutely.

I'd say that in the US, the income tax and the IRS are a significantly greater threat than any jizya action that might arise out some malcontent Islamic enclave, unless you include Vichy DC as a malcontent Islamic enclave. There is good argument for that too.

Of course, folks can always make a one-time payment in precious metal - lead and copper. Between the lack of revenue and the cost of fielding new ah, tax collectors, a different perspective might emerge. I think there's a germ of an idea in there, but damned if I can it to take root...

GooseShtepping Moron's picture

Christians worship the Holy Trinity, the God Who is Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The second Person of the Trinity was hypostatically united to a human nature and born of the Virgin Mary as Jesus the Christ - hence the name Christians. There is no generic creator God in Christianity because we know by revelation that the God of the philosophers, the God who can be shown by reason to be the first cause and sustaining ground of existence, just is this Trinity.

The Jews explicitly reject the second Person of the Trinity and the Muslims reject the very notion of a plurality of persons in the one divine nature. So no, we do not worship the same God.

They probably are, but its being gagged to sway people to believe Isreal is on a conquest rather than retaliating against the endless provocation of those fucking Hamas / Hezbollah - ISIS satanic triad.

I remember the Isreali citizens raising hell against the government when they were forced off settlements created in ocupied territories when it was being returned to those that warred against Isreal in the past.

Just my opinion of course.

The part of your comment that is not widely known is that you could have. (That is why the authorities do not like fireworks. They are to easy to weaponize.)

 

Instead of the Paper Casings that surround your shells try casing them with shreaded metal , or Buckshot, with a paper surrounding that.

 

Now you can aim that into a crowd and watch the mayhem unfold.

 

It is amazing what a little gunpowder can do. Now imagine a Bullet. Just how many Grains (weight) of powder is used? Isn't that quite LETHAL?

 

How much more weight of explosive does your Firework shell have?

 

Yes you have the power to kill with your fieworks.  You just did not realize it...until now.

Sorry but projectiles dispersed from an open air explosion verses projectiles fired from within a sealed breach down a 20 inch + tube are two different animals. One could possibly put you eye out and the other one......Not to mention the fact that gunpowder is painfully slow burning compared to more modern synthetic counterparts.

I once threw a sealed can of dennison's chili into a family camp fire thinking I was being cute. About an hour went by and after a couple of beers I had quite forgot about it along with everyone else.

My uncle was in the middle of retelling some dumbass story we had all heard a million times when all of a sudden he was drowned out by a deafening roar, followed by a brief shower consisting of hot chili beans and then complete darkness.

Moral of the story?

Fireworks may make bad improvised weapons, but canned chili is flat out leathal.

you're saying that the reporters there, are deliberately choosing to be martyrs?

naive.

more likely, their purpose is to get views and higher ratings.

and i don't know what's actually going on over there, and i won't claim to,  unlike many ZH armchair commentators, but it seems to me that if rockets are being launched from gaza into israel, there's a pretty strong case to be made for self-defence.

if fighter bombers are blowing up buildings in Gaza City, is there a pretty strong case to be made for rockets?

See, when you assume Hamas is always the first to unleash violence, you're not only letting your bias show,  but your ignorance.

 

As to the latest episode - the three kidnappings Hamas didn't do providing the excuse to immediately destroy the homes of some 'suspects' without trial or charge - mass arrests - mass beatings, including of an American cousin of an Arab boy set on fire by Jews in "revenge" - and multiple airstrikes on Gaza, killing a dozen or so people, which lead to the rocket fire Israel "responded" ....  Yes, having a heavily Jewish, and heavily anti-Arab, Islamophobic media probably means Diane Sawyer keeps her job

As for an assessment at least closer to the truth: http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2014/07/08/who-started-the-cycle-of-v...

 

The notion that Israel's assault is about stopping rocket attacks which have generally happened in the past few years as a response to Israeli air strikes [or shelling] is absurd.  While a war crime, these rockets have killed fewer people in the past 10 years than Israel has killed in the past 2 days.

 

It's too bad "anti-Semite" is taken, Palestinians being Semites and all, as a pithy term to apply to people who simply hate Arabs or Muslims generally.  Such hate is certainly abundant in the US, carefully stoked, of course by the media.

And of course, one is generally free to say whatever one likes about Palestinians or Arabs, and no pithy term designed to derail an argument will be forthcoming, and no censorship will be applied, and it will not lead anyone to being banned....

But asking people to list 3 major television or print news sources which don't have Jewish ownership/management or simply a disproportionate number [over 3%] of Jews in front line journalist or editor positions to get people to actually think about media bias as to Israel/Palestine [leaving aside media control as a general matter] - why that's forbidden.

 

So - expressions of hate toward Arabs, unremitting bias against them, a priori conclusions that they were the aggressor - all fine.

But a fair and honest inquiry about Jewish media ownersgip, control, or influence... that's "anti-Semitism".

 

Makes a lot of sense, of course - until you give it a moment's thought.

you went on a very long, tangential rant there, daffy.

you also made some incorrect assumptions, putting in links called "your bias" and "your ignorance" which linked to things i haven't seen and are not representative of my opinion, that was dishonest of you.

don't be dishonest!

based on what i have heard, however, the rocket attacks came first, and the retaliation against the rocket attacks came afterwards. is that not the case?

well, uncle remus, if you were following along in the thread, you would see the original comment was about whether or not the bombing constituted "self defense" on the part of israel.

so, the question was being directly answered.

and arguably, the occupation came as a direct result of an attack on israel from sinai & gaza.

And the occupation I speak of starts back further in time, say mid-twentieth century, which would place "self defense" in a wholly different context.

The first round to hit looked like it could have been a small spotting round used by recoilless rifles made by the US. I assume similar weapons made and used by other nations do the same. The small (rifle) round with ballistic characteristics as close as possible to the larger recoilless rifle round is fired to ensure correct aim point followed by the much larger round from the recoilless rifle. This reporter was intentionally being fired at from a line-of-site position. US recoilless rifles would have made a much larger explosion due to their large caliber, so this must have been a much smaller caliber recoilless rifle or a grenade launcher that also uses a spotting round.

Why is the public surprised when people die in wars? What makes "press" people immune from dying when they "voluntarily" put themselves in harm's way? "Civilians are getting killed in Gaza? Wow! What a shocking development that is--NOT!

Whatever you believe about the Israeli-Gaza conflict...if Hamas is stashing military weapons, etc. in amongst "civilian" housing and mosques...Well those aren't "civilians" anymore and are legit targets. So Hamas and the Gaza people need to shut up and quit whining.

War is hell and they'll figure it out one day.

The Press is recording history ... of course, the accuracy of historical documents means little to nothing when you write your own sad story and use it to provoke guilt, and hold the world accountable for what was a business deal to transfer WEALTH into Israel, at the cost of a couple million of Jewish lives.

 

You have no ground to stand on.  You should be thankful the world tolerates your ostentatious and obnoxious self-absorbed arses.

You have trouble reading? I'm no fan of Israel or anyone else. I'm simply pointing out the FACTS of war. Whether it is between a couple of primitive tribes or between sophisticated armies. "Civilians" always die...that is maybe the biggest horror of war. And so do reporters die who "hang out" in the warzone "taking notes". Risk of the profession.

So they're recording history...So what? So are reporters on the edge of a volcano. All reporters put themselves in harms way "voluntarily" when covering dangerous assignments like wars. Nobody says they have to do it.

I'm not writing anyones story.

And frankly, I don't give a flying fuck at a rollin' donut what happens in Gaza OR Israel, or anywhere else in the Mid East. Let the players who live there sort it out amongst themselves.
