Gaza, a Palestinian enclave run by the terrorist group Hamas, has been under aerial bombardment since Oct. 7. when Hamas terrorists burst through the Gaza border into Israel and killed more than 1,400 people and took more than 200 hostages.

The Israel Defense Forces wrote to Reuters and AFP this week after they had sought assurances that their journalists in Gaza would not be targeted by Israeli strikes.

Who remembers reporter Bill Stewart who in 1979 was shot dead at a checkpoint in Nicaragua?

Bill Stewart was a Philadelphia reporter before he went national. Media actually filmed his death.

My idea for the house to house is start with a bulldozer and reduce the rubble to soft ball size pieces. It is hard to hide behind that. If any so-called journalists are caught in the line of fire it is a too bad situation. The chance of them being on our side is almost nil so “too bad, so sad” NEZT

Nor should their safety be any concern. Most, if not all, of them are 100% behind the Palestinians.

Thanks, Paul. I didn’t see any war going on there. Odd?

What are we up to, $200 Billion to fund the “war”?
