“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.”

    I’m not justifying either- I’m just saying that Hamas is the responsible party

      If you say Hamas is responsible after Israel kills the hostage/civilian, then your bias is clear. Here, If you’d like to hear a different take try this Mother Jones article. I find the expert within to articulate this point well.

        It’s an interesting article, but it’s not an exhaustive look at the situation. Look buddy- the article is from the point of an American, and proscribes American actions that should be taken. While that is interesting, it doesn’t touch nearly at all on what the current parties should do (vis a vis Hamas and Israel) and it doesn’t apply ANY scrutiny to Hamas or suggest any actions they should take.

        It’s not that it’s not an insightful piece, but it’s POV is limited, and can’t be applied generally.

          Hey, if that’s your opinion of it then I won’t fault you for it. Perhaps as an American it appeals more to me, as I still really enjoyed his perspective as a Palestine born and raised Christian who has spent his life advising and speaking on the topic.

          Thanks for taking the chance and giving it a look. Not many people would, so please accept my apologies for the harsh words earlier.
