Israel: Foreign Journalists in Gaza

David Bogner of Treppenwitz gives five reasons why Israel shouldn't allow foreign journalists into Gaza. “In Lebanon we had to fight a war on two fronts: on the battlefield against an illegitimate terrorist army, and in the media against foreign dupes who printed whatever this illegitimate terrorist army told them/allowed them to see. We couldn't do anything about that because we didn't control the battlefield. But in Gaza we do.”

    There is one good news in this war: censure doesn’t work. You’ve tried your best. But we still managed to get the facts.
    You don’t like us to know that Gazan children are shot by your troops when they carry the garbage to the next dustbin. I don’t like children being shot when they carry the garbage to the bin.
    You don’t like us to know that mosques or schools are being destroyed by your air force. I don’t like mosques or schools to be destroyed.
    You don’t want us to know that your air force first attacks a target and waits till people try to rescue the injured and then attacks again. I don’t like doctors and paramedics being killed. (I admit, you didn’t invent this crime, that was Hamas. You only copy them.)
    I could go on like this endlessly. Is there any war crime that your air force didn’t commit in this war? Well, rape probably, that’s a bit difficult from the air. What are your ground troops doing just now?

    If you need comfort now, ring up your friends Mugabe or Kim. They are Israel’s allys where the freedom of the press is concerned.

    Mr. Bogner, you really think that you are hiding the news from the world? Maybe Americans don’t see this in main stream media, but the ones that see it here tell the others where to look to find the truth. Isn’t that why you are here?

    If what you are doing is so courageous, why hide it? Why not show the world how well Israel handles its terrorists. Share your strategy, so we can all live in peace! No?

    Pfft;Pssh HA!

    No-one is acctually believing this **** sorry. From what I have been researching and the images that I have seen, I really know why IDF/israel does not want media coverage.One because they do not want us to see the brutal things the “army” gets up to. For example one picture I seen the 3 IDF troops, one taking the picture 2 standing on top off a body of an elderly dead palestinian(gleefuly smilling away)?! this was the failed lebanon war. Is just history re written again! fail, fail and fail. However, israel has thought long and hard, they do not want others to see the war on “hamas” psh. All over the world people are stating to realize things…Hmm keep wondering.
