" The Committee to Protect Journalists and other organizations lobbying on behalf of journalists have documented 40 shootings in the past year. They have been pressing the Israeli government to investigate but so far only a handful of the cases have been. However, last July (2001), Daniel Seaman who runs the Israeli government office that oversees foreign press conceded there was a problem and faced reporters. In his statement he said: "Threats, injury or harm to members of the media whether intentional or by error are unacceptable. The State of Israel regrets any injuries caused to journalists as a result of actions by our forces or by individuals within our forces."

The good thing about Israeli democracy is that even in the midst of the Intifada they respond. So settle down.

I'll tell you what though. I don't believe these characters. They likely expressly go in harms way to become martyrs for Allah. Hahaha:

"Palestinian camermen, Mazen Dana and Nael Shyoukhi live and work in the West Bank city of Hebron. They work for the British News Agency, Reuters and the pictures they take in their own backyards are seen on television sets around the world. They say they, and other Palestinians working for international news agencies, are the target of Israeli guns. Dana says he's been shot so many times in the past decade, he's lost count. While they serve competing networks, they try to protect each other. One way they do that is to turn their cameras on each other whenever one of them is shot. As a result, they have amassed a private video archive documenting the shootings and other incidents."

Also, to those of you who don't know. CBC is a left-wing Government owned, propaganda piece for the politically correct.
