“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don’t protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. … We lose our lives for no reason.”

    Sure, this is why the American Britain war is still waged today. It’s also why France has been relentlessly attacking England. And obviously, the British bombing of Ireland is what ended the IRA.

    Besides peace, genocide is the only way to end Hamas. And that’s what you are cheering for. Israel is creating the next generation of terrorists by terrorizing the Palestinians.

      Fundamentally it comes down to who is more at fault for the death of a human shield, the one who is using the human shield or the one who is attacking.

      Clearly Hamas is more at fault. If you want peace tell Hamas to surrender and return the hostages.

        How does “clearly” go against all societal norms in your mind? You seemingly know nothing about hostage negotiation, popular culture or just being human. Wolf Blitzer is more human than you. Think on that.

          Can we refrain from calling people subhuman? It is really not a good look.

            You think being less human than wolf blitzer makes you subhuman? Tell me what do you consider Palestinian civilians to justify their treatment? How does your heart not bleed for them compassionate one?

              I think telling anybody that they know nothing about being human and saying some random person is more human than them is wrong, and given the context, frightening. The guy you said that to made two comments. Two. What did he say specifically that provoked such a response? I’d hope your heart bleeds for all innocent life lost. Palestine elected a group to lead them that specifically calls for the eradication of Jews, of course there’s going to be civilian deaths.
