Shooting at journalists

GAZA Crisis July 2014

It’s sadly ironic that the Israelis have adopted so many Nazi-like tactics:

Gunshots have been fired into Al Jazeera’s bureau in the Gaza Strip amid an intensified bombardment campaign on the Palestinian enclave.

The shots caused panic among the civilians living in the same building but no casualties were reported in the incident on Tuesday morning.

“Two very precise shots were fired straight into our building,” Al Jazeera’s Stefanie Dekker, reporting from the bureau, said.

“We are high up in the building so we had a very strong vantage point over the area. But we have evacuated.

“Our office building also has many residential apartments. People [are] leaving, panicked.”

The bureau is situated in a residential area of Gaza City.

The attack came a day after Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman was quoted by local media as saying his country will work to close down Al Jazeera’s operations in Israel.

Al Jazeera “has abandoned even the perception of being a reliable news organisation and broadcasts from Gaza and to the world anti-Israel incitement, lies, and encouragement to the terrorists,” Lieberman said.

  1. Oooooo, now you’ve gone and said it……”Nazi-like.” But let’s not forget that the Zionists, especially Lieberman, have also publically condemned Leftist, Communists and Socialists and threatened them with harsh state sanctions. To Lieberman anyone to the Left of Genghis Khan is the enemy. And Netanyahu is and even bigger criminal because his single motivation is to remain in power. He kills Palestinians to increase his political poll numbers and for sport.

  2. I always found Al-Jazeera to be well informed and accurate. But then again I am not i the business of demonizing members of the press just because they have Arab-sounding names to their parent organization.
