Caught On Tape: Reporter Hit By Shell In Gaza

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.

Who the f*ck is filming this? 240p resolution?

Is that to make it so blurry that people can't ID the actor?

Or so they can't see the green screen outline around him?

Here's a ready made job for "doctors without borders" if there ever was one...
The only trouble with this type of generosity, is their wouldn't even be an urgent need for sending them in the first place if the U.S. MIC wasn't supplying Israel with the weapons to make their visit possible?

60 seconds to live: IDF "knocks" on Palestinian civilian homes before obliterating them 1 minute later Joe Quinn
Sott.net
Sat, 12 Jul 2014 13:21 CDT While the IDF is ignoring allegations that it targets civilian homes (because it is obvious that they are) IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said it uses phone calls and "drops empty shells on roofs" - what it calls "roof knocking" - to warn civilians that air strikes are imminent.

Speaking to US media recently, Learner said that "in one case, members of a family returned to a house in Gaza shortly after having been warned to evacuate it and they were caught in the air strike."

Silly Palestinians. I mean, 60 seconds is enough for anyone to gather the children, pack all important items and leave your house and be at a safe distance before a massive bomb blows it to pieces! Israel has to 'defend itself' in this way after all, and Palestinians should understand that and not be so stupid as to return to their houses after they receive the neighborly warning that its time to leave!

Check out the "empty shell" that the IDF dropped on this Palestinian home a few days ago to warn the civilians inside that their home would be obliterated 1 minute later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waSPsI9-ge8
Those Zionist motherfuckers think of every safety precaution before they take innocent lives just like their U.S. counterparts -Don't they?...

How many seconds did AlQaeda give the people inside the WTC before they struck?

How about the three teens who were kidnapped and brutally murdered? How much advance notice did they get?

When the Muzzies shoot rockets into Israel, how much advance notice do they give?

When suicide bombers blow themselves and others up, how much advnce notice do they provide?

[blabam]

We get it... both sides suck. 

[Son of Captain Nemo]

How many seconds did AlQaeda give the people inside the WTC before they struck?...

Good question and of course we're always glad when someone from the tribe mentions 9/11.  If you were a Zionist loving Jew you actually had much more time on your hands that day of September 11, 2001 than the Goys and Shiksa's  certainly did!

They even held a celebration to honor the rescue after it happened!

After all you cocksuckers have done, please stop peddling at least the disingenuous lies that are fast making WWIII a reality!

[Duffy Duck]

Israel is the master of the "mommy, he hit me {back}" defense.

[Duffy Duck]

funny how Obama et al always think of the children when it comes to illegal immigrants and finding new and interesting ways to ignore valid federal immigration law...  only a monster would turn a child back, and refuse him or her taxpayer provided meals, shelter, bus trips and lawyers..

But when it comes to Palestinian kids...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/gazaisrael-conflict-...

eh - fuck em, right?

[dsty]

why doe zh always post articles of israel striking back?

kind of one sided    eh

may your neighbors be muzzies

then experience bystanders mocking you when you complain

[Duffy Duck]

dear mr. sock puppet:

Why do you assume, without evidence, that Israel is "striking back" rather than the Hamas - when lots and lots and lots ....and lots of times Israel has, in fact, struck first, probably hoping, in fact, that the idiots in Hamas would respond with rockets, so that the NY Times can have a front page above the fold story about how Hamas "attacked" Israel with rockets and Israel "responded" with airstrikes?

The Truth About Cease-fire Violations Between Israel and Gaza

Here’s how the relationship between Israel and Gaza works: successive “cease-fires” are repeatedly adopted and continuously violated, leading more often to skirmishes than to lulls in violence. Israel bombs Gaza with airstrikes, Gaza shoots rockets into Israel. Then a new “cease-fire” is imposed.

If you were to ask anyone, from a casual observer to a ‘well-informed’ media commentator, which side violates the ceasefires more often, they would almost surely say Gaza. The newspapers and network news media constantly inform the American people when a rocket is hurled from Gaza into Israel. Both Israeli and American politicians cite this phenomenon in speeches and press conferences to justify Israel’s continuing economic blockade of Gaza, among other things. With regard to the Gaza situation, practically all we hear about is rockets.

In an ongoing study of violence between Israel and Gaza, The Jerusalem Fund, a non-profit in Washington, D.C., has catalogued cease-fire violations on either side. The principal finding is as follows: “Palestinian launches have been rare and sporadic and occurred almost always after successive instances of Israeli cease-fire violations.” Despite this, in the diplomacy on Mid-East peace, we invariably hear about Israel’s security concerns, while that of the Palestinians’ is hardly mentioned.

Here is a graph of the findings:

Yousef Munayyer, Executive Director of The Jerusalem Fund, explains how it typically works: Israel can “fire into Gaza without accountability, provoke a reaction and then claim self-defense.” See here for his explanation of the methodology.

I have written about previous cases in which Israel breaks the cease-fire with bombings, shootings, or territorial incursions, and then uses the retaliation from Gaza as a justification to launch a deeper bombing campaign here and here.

Israel violates the cease-fires more often, bombs Gaza more times than Gaza rockets Israel, and kills more Palestinians than Palestinians kill Israelis. But these findings are not what is striking. What is striking about this is that almost everybody believes the opposite of the reality. Here’s Munayyer with more on that:

So how have these cease-fire dynamics been covered? We’ve tracked New York Times coverage of the cease-fire during this period. The New York Times is representative of the mainstream and extremely important for shaping public discourse on events and thus an important window into broader mainstream coverage. The Times also has multiple reporters covering these events including a bureau in Jerusalem and a correspondent in Gaza. Finally, we simply can’t track everything so the Times, with its easily searchable history, is an effective example to use.

Of the nearly 120 Israeli cease-fire violations during this period the New York Times reported on 17 of them. Additionally, most of these stories (eleven) came either during the first week of the cease-fire, when the issue was still fresh in readers’ minds, or since the escalation on December 20th. That means for the bulk of this period, during which Israel committed 87 cease-fire violations and causing some 91 Palestinian casualties over nearly a one year period there were only six stories on the topic. This represents a systematic failure to cover Israeli cease-fire violations.

Making matters worse is the way events are covered in the rare instances they are covered. In most cases, Israeli actions are described as a response to Palestinian actions. So while most Israeli cease-fire violations are not covered at all, those that are are explained as justified retaliation. Thus the reader is completely misled about the dynamics of fire, why the cease-fire is threatened and exactly what is going on in and around Gaza.

The biggest challenge to the cease-fire agreement is persistent Israeli violation and the lack of any accountability for them. The politics of the Gaza Strip are complex. Israel says it wants Hamas to control projectile fire from other factions and yet it persistently violates the truce putting Hamas in a position of having to defend Israel’s violations. By targeting groups other than Hamas and by expecting Hamas to crack down on their responses, Israel is playing a dangerous and deadly game of divide and conquer in Gaza that will likely lead to the unraveling of the cease-fire. Once again, Israel has proven security is not its aim, subjugation is.

Ah the New York Times!

The Truth, The Whole Truth, and nothing but the TRuth!

[TomGa]

When they said "shell" I thought they meant something at least along the lines of a tank round.  Disappointing.

[wossname]

Fake.

If you want your shell, you can keep your shell.

I think he had been drinking heavily. His speech was quite slurred.

Well, some folks do imbibe a little too much on the 4th of July....

[d edwards]

He was wearing a "Press" jacket...bullets/shells can't read. Shoulda been wearing body armor.

H@mas and other mooslim barbarians place their rockets, armaments, etc. in civilian areas so civilians will get killed-but doesn't that make them "martyrs" for allah? That's supposed to be a good thing, right?

[Jabotinsky_USA]

More anti-Jewish video.  The video of Hamas rocket hitting Ashdod gas station is a much better video and it's not staged.

[random999]

LOL

Low quality 3fps clip and a little firecracker?

Has the NSA taken over Tylers account already?

[luckylogger]

What a fuking joke......

This is some fake made up bullshit if I have ever seen it....

Should have been captioned...

Drunk dude trying to make a point hits self with roman candle....

The press jacket just gives it such a layer of authenticity....
