Ironic Moment as Rocket Interrupts French Reporter
Tisha Be' Av Walk (around the Old City Walls) ^ | 8/3/2014, 8:38 PM | By Gil Ronen

A reporter for France 24, Gallagher Fenwick, was reporting from Gaza Friday and explaining how its residents' “food security” has been affected by the fighting there, when something unexpected happened.

"This was a rocket,”, a rattled Fenwick told his audience, “this was a rocket, rockets were just shot right next to where we are standing, so I'm not going to stand here very long because usually there's a strike just moments after this occurs.”

The occurrence proves Israel's contention that Hamas fires rockets from among civilians, using them as human shields and manipulating any civilian casualties that are thus incurred, in order to make Israel look bad.

Thank you for posting! Hilarious - Gallagher (of the weird high-tone accent) almost got decapitated by Hamas. He was standing in a buffer zone which tells you something as well.

Actually, a fairly balanced follow up .

Of course there is a bit of cover their butts about whether the rockets were remotely controlled. The reporter on the scene was fully aware of what was going on with the rockets.

To a cynic who loves irony and exposing hypocrisy & propaganda, this is a gift from God.

I hope there’s counter-battery fire video; payback’s a b****.

Thanks Not gonna take it anymore.
...explaining how its residents' “food security” has been affected... "This was a rocket,”, a rattled Fenwick told his audience, “this was a rocket, rockets were just shot right next to where we are standing, so I'm not going to stand here very long because usually there's a strike just moments after this occurs.”
The only bad part of this is, the Israelis weren't quite quick enough on the response.

Earlier bit of agitprop from Fenwick, fairly low-key by anti-Israeli agitprop standards:

Evacuate to Where? The same agitprop posted by at least one FINO, gosh, where did he get the idea?:

The Arabs (not Israel) are besieging Gaza, and Iran and Allah provide for Gaza’s defense:

Listen again, Rock. The Reporter’s name is Gallagher Keltwick. The anchor said “You go Gallagher,” right after the reporter said he wasn’t going to stay because of counter fire.

I listened twice because “You go Gaza” doesn’t make sense in the context of what was happening.

But the Israelis never did respond. Not at all. Listen to the report on post # 23. The France 24 reporter said the Israelis choose not to respond.

They're so evil, those Israelis. They leave all those poor Gazans who expect to get blowed up not blowed up!

I noticed too that he didn’t mention that the missile or missiles were fired at Israel by Hamas. I hope he goes home in a body bag. Or better yet, several.

Can't Hamas work on making quieter rockets? That way the reporters can't escape from the strike area when the retaliation comes flying their way. Sorry, Gallagher Fenwick, you won't be propagandizing for Hamas from a smoking crater in the ground. Too bad, how sad.
