Why Is Israel Refusing To Let Independent Journalists Into Gaza?

[sandyRoe]

Those ill disposed to them might say it's because the crimes they've committed are such that the world would be shocked by what they've done there.

That's unlikely, isn't it?  So what is the reason?

[ynnafymmi]

sandy,Maybe its me,but quite a few ABers on here are just getting a wee bit peed off with your anti-semitic postings.Are you still saying that the anti-semitic attack on 7th October last year didnt happen?

Have some of PPs posts on this thread been censored?

Ynna,

Where are my anti-Semitism posts that have reduced you to near incontinence?

My anti Israeli posts are little masterpieces of erudition and have offered a possible solution to the conflict, while supporters of Israel seem to want nothing more than more innocent blood.

[ynnafymmi]

No incontinence,sandy,just anger at your anti-semitic Jew hatred.

[naomi24]

sandyRoe, no.

PP at 14:29 seems to think some of his posts have been deleted.

I missed them  so can't say if that's correct or not.

[ynnafymmi]

Remember you Irish were allied with the Nazis during WW2 sandy.I dont think you get any more anti-semitic than that.What do you think?

[naomi24]

sandyRoe, I deleted two posts and someone else deleted a third which I also saw - and none were deleted in order to censor Peter Pedant's opinions on this topic.  I won't enter into further discussion on the matter.

There is no such a thing as an Independent Journalist. Watching the main stream media, it doesn't take long to see where the reporter's or the editor's sympathies lie.

Also: I watch nightly completely uncorroborated pictures of wreckage, people on stretchers, wounded children & last night pictures of surgeons operating (but you couldn't see the patient) all real footage, but they were being presented along with a commentary as if it had happened that day.

Some of the film gets used several times, we really don't know what it is we are watching.

[sandyRoe]

If anyone wants to start a thread on Ireland's role in WW2 they're welcome to do so.

This thread is about the actions of Israelis which are so dark that they think they need to be conducted behind a screen of censorship.

Very few independent journalists exist most now are activists lok at the main stream media.

 

[fender62]

maybe its for journalists safety, certain media outlest would love to say their journalists were targeted deliberately.

[Peter Pedant]

We've heard arguments from both sides

noop - unless we have some speed readers amongst us ( we havent) - -  my record for a deleted text is under a minute

but some pretty impressive onesided threads !

up the mods !

[Untitled]

they don't want to let them in because of the horrible things they will find there. it's as simple as that. 

[ynnafymmi]

@16.35.Jeremy Corbyn perhaps?

[naomi24]

Peter Pedant, your posts are removed because you are consistently rude to others and that is unacceptable.  If you continue further you will be suspended. 

[Peter Pedant]

oh dear so the answer to have some of PP's posts been censored is a reluctant 

yes

unbalancing the thread - or as some wd say " correctly re-balancing"

one referring to the flatness of Gaza - 

and another treating the subject light heartedly ( = not seriously) just like everyone else here.

[ynnafymmi]

@16.43.If Peter Pedant would allow his carer to answer his questions for him it would be alright.When his carer does his postings they are lucid and sensible,when Peter does his own postings they are just unintelligible nonsense.And no,im not a disabilist.

[sandyRoe]

People can call me an anti-Semite, a dreadful insult, and not provoke action from Mods.

Strange, that.

 

[naomi24]

Peter Pedant, the answer is not that your posts are censored but that you are rude and disrespectful.  Final warning.

This thread is about the actions of Israelis which are so dark that they think they need to be conducted behind a screen of censorship.

That is only your opinion sandy Roe, the problem with people like is you offer your opinion as the truth and expect the rest of us, who also don't know the reason why journalists aren't allowed in, to believe it.
