Comments on: AP confirms Hamas terrorists fired from UN school http://www.yourish.com/2009/01/07/5957 Cutting straight to the point Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:59:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Robert http://www.yourish.com/2009/01/07/5957/comment-page-1#comment-35620 Robert Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:39:57 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/?p=5957#comment-35620 Notice how they try to minimize and spin it, though? Just a 'small' group of men, firing one itty bitty mortar, and after all, when they were "targeted by an Israeli shell" (how does a shell target anything?), they ran away, AND THEN: The evil Israeli's just kept shooting at the civilians!!! Remember the good old days when War Correspondents were Veterans and actually understood war? I've seen so many sloppy captions, headlines, etc, in the past decade, such as one showing "Israeli soldiers 'taking cover' while firing artillery." Actually, they were doing what every artilleryman does. They were standing there watching it. And of course, they use the "anonymous source" so they don't actually have to prove anything, nor do they provide any evidence. And the obligatory photos of Pali's running around screaming while carrying the injured in their arms looking for - what? Ambulances or photographers?
