At least 31 people have been killed after Israeli tanks opened fire near an aid centre in Gaza, Hamas-run health ministry says, and 150 Palestinians have also been injured, according to the Red Cross hospital in Rafah. Is it time for intervention to stop the massacres ? " if tanks were firing at them how are they suffering from gunshot wounds | |||

"Mayhap Israel could let independent journalists into Gaza to see for themselves." There’s enough footage coming out. People shot queuing for food, a GP mother’s nine children killed, three children shot in their beds, another 632,000 displaced again (3rd time). If it were the other way round, Hamas and the Palestinians would kill every Jew. | |||

Additionally, because the only news leaving the strip also has to be approved by Hamas, that mainstream news agencies are becoming mouthpieces for terrorist groups. | |||

Even you know you are talking bollocks.

Ultimately if the Israeli government want to assure the outside world about what's really going on in Gaza they should let independent journalists observe for themselves. We all know why they won't. | |||

I don't agree here. As much as people will want to ignore it. The silent majority speak again for Israel at the euro vision. Just as the silent majority turn uk and vote for " populist" parties.

"why won't Israel allow news agencies into Gaza if they have nothing to hide?" I would say that allowing journalists into a war zone means they have to keep them safe. I've met journalists and photographers who served in the middle east, and heard stories of them caught in the crossfire and shot or blown up - and that's in open desert rather than built-up urban areas. Someone would need to guide them; I doubt they'd be able to just run around doing their own thing - so who would be responsible for their well-being once they're in there, and who would be held to account when the safeguarding fails? | |||

" I would say that allowing journalists into a war zone means they have to keep them safe. Agreed. Who would keep them safe from the IDF?" Nowhere appears safe, today Gaza’s food hub suspended operations as Israel declares access routes ‘combat zones’. The refugee camps have been bombed. First responder medics shot and buried to cover up the murders. Israeli atrocities are on par with ISIS, albeit on a much larger scale. There’s a group of statisticians now estimating civilian deaths at 95,000. | |||

Al Jazeera denied he worked for them - but they forgot they actually had a page about him on their website. :D Other media outlets such as the Palestine Chronicle also admitted he had worked for them - they expressed sadness at his loss, but made no mention of why he was killed. It wasn't propaganda. | |||

"Egypt would need to agree and I can't see that happening." This is true - which is why cancelling their national debt might be a sweetener. State building will take decades though, so still not ideal. Although the threat of them being pushed into the region might make them wake up a bit to their refugee responsibilities. If it wasn't for Black September they'd stand a better chance of integrating into Jordan; part of Palestine until the British gave the region to the Hashemites, and already with a 75% Palestinian Arab population. | |||
