1. All's fair in "legitimate resistance"
JPS ,   Efrat   (06.10.07)
This is nothing new, as there is ample 3rd party documentation of Palestinians using ambulances to transport weapons and armed fighters. Unfortunately, the UN, NGOs and "peace" groups are party to these crimes as they constantly refuse to demand the Palestinians stop using these tactics. Until the Palestinians are brought to justice, they will continue to live the lie that anything goes in "legitimate resistance to the occupation". And worse than that, too many well-meaning suckers will believe them.
2. Another Pali Joke: PA PRESS is part of Terror Infrastructure

They are one and the same
3. nothing new
dovid ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.10.07)
This tactic is nothing new they have used Press and also ambulance before. Arabs & palestinian have zero respect for civilians including children, women , eldery, emergency personal, press, and ... This tactic should not be a suprise to anyone. The Arabs mission in life is to bring us closer to Hashem, until we accomplish that. things may get worst.
4. Press Anger Over Terrorist Use of TV Markings
Jon ,   San Angelo, USA   (06.10.07)
So why do journalist think they are so important, yet again? What about use of ambulances? Did they raise a hue and cry when Palestinian terrorists used ambulances to haul weapons? How about UN vehicles? What hypocrisy.
5. press
jeremy ,   hula valley kibbutz   (06.10.07)
Israel doesn't shoot or kill reporters, however, the Palestinians when they don't like something in the press, they beat up reporters and shoot up the presses and news stations. A world of advice to the Pa Press corps, stay away from the border fence for now on and nothing will happen to you!
6. SHOOT THE MESSENGER -LOL

9. vehicle marked with a "TV" sign to approach Gaza's border
(06.10.07)
wait a minute; the vehicle approached the fence but didn't cross it. The front tyre is flat; likely punctured by a bullet. That 's why they abandoned it?. The IDF shot a vehicle carrying TV sign in Gaza territory. The IDF shot, before, ambulances and at least one Press-car in Gaza. The medic with ambulance who tried to approch Mohammad El-Dorah was shot dead by IDF soldiers. So who is the assailant? Do you still have some brain to work that out?
10. #9 yes we still have are brains, apparently you don't

11. to number-9
Israeli   (06.10.07)
the vehicle was used to get NEXT to the border and allowed the terrorists to get outta it and cross the border by foot. they wouldnt make it so close to the border otherwise. after the terrorists started attacking inside of Israel then the soldiers shot back at them and at their vehicle.
12. They do the same with ambulances!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (06.10.07)
They do the same with children! Putting kids in the back seat of a car - then running out of the car (with the kids still inside, mind you) - and then KABOOM!!
13. #9 Who needs brains when your's is so brilliant
kike ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.10.07)
Oh boy, can you think! Your post is a classical example of biased, dishonest opinion. You assume the assailants abandoned their vehicle because they were attacked. If that were the case, they would have been killed on the spot! No brother, they used the TV marked jeep to approach without drawing fire, because they KNOW the Israeli army will not shoot on the press. And please don't bring up El-Dureh. We all know it was staged propaganda by the Palis media. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallywood
14. where was the survey camira
(06.11.07)
There was No survey Camira? Was it an excecuse to cover Israel's assault OR was it unforgivable sin of Israel' ssecurity? Which of which you prefere?
