the only thing more shameful, is making the children sleep next to the rocket launchers

Italian Journalist Defies Hamas: ‘Out of Gaza Far From Hamas Retaliation: Misfired Rocket Killed Children in Shati’

 

Italian journalist Gabriele Barbati said he was able to speak freely about witnessing a Hamas misfire that killed nine children at the Shati camp, confirming the Israel Defense Forces version of events, but only after leaving Gaza, “far from Hamas retaliation.”

 

On Twitter, Barbati, Jerusalem Correspondent for Radio Popolare Milano, and a former reporter for Sky Italia, in Beijing, said, “Out of #Gaza far from #Hamas retaliation: misfired rocket killed children yday [yesterday] in Shati. Witness: militants rushed and cleared debris.”

 

He said, “@IDFSpokesperson said truth in communique released yesterday about Shati camp massacre. It was not #Israel behind it.”

 

On Tuesday, the IDF released aerial photos showing how a rocket from Gaza targeting Israel hit the Shati camp, run by the UNRWA, and Al Shifa Hospital, which has become a de-facto Hamas headquarters, against international rules of war.

 

Barbati said he was unable to speak about the Al Shifa hit, but he was certain that it was a Hamas rocket that hit the Shati camp, and a witness saw militants rushing to clean the debris.

 

Blogger Elder of Ziyon, who praised Barbati for telling the truth in a war where many journalists have been intimidated by Hamas, noted that “When Hamas made the area off limits to reporters, it was cleaning the area from any debris that could show the truth.”

On Tuesday, CAMERA, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America, called out two correspondents from The Wall Street Journal for deleting photographs that would implicate Hamas in the war crime of using the Al Shifa hospital as a military headquarters. Other journalists, including a Gazan reporter for French media recounted to France’s Libération how Hamas had interrogated him in the same hospital, but later asked the newspaper to take down the story.

 

Elder of Ziyon said, “Every single report on TV from Gaza should have this disclaimer: ‘Our reporters have been threatened, implicitly and perhaps explicitly, by Hamas to only report one side of the story.Viewers must not trust anything they are saying.’”

 

“There is an assumption of fairness in journalism, a contract between the media and the viewers,” the influential blogger said. “This contract has been broken, as far as I can tell, by nearly every single reporter in Gaza in nearly every report, with a couple of rare exceptions.”

 

 

*************************************************

There is always another side to the story - even when someone from the UN is doing the talking. 

 

Why would anyone believe anything from a totally biased, corrupt and dishonorable organization such as the UN?

Hamas is evil beyond words! Israel must take them out now and end this once and for all! If someone was launching rockets into the US, they would be destroyed within hours! The Israelis are being accused wrongly, which makes me sick! These terrorist (Hamas) must be eliminated immediately with full assault from the Israelis & we should help! Obummer is a muslim coward that obviously sides with these terrorist!

It wasn't me but, you know that there are some here that either ignorantly, or intentionally promote the hamas lies and propaganda as truth, and that is unforgiveable. He post it because he believes the BS, IMO the post deserves -1000

it is NOT an opinion piece.

[Jim1cor13]

Unfortunately, sportfisher, the only propaganda is how you seem to assassinate the character of anyone

who does not agree with your story line. Umbert is a class act, he harms no one and it would

be very nice if you would stop provocating in every thread.

 

Please consider it sir.

Thank you TG,

 

Agreed! We can not trust the UN or any government agency or affiliate. So hard to believe anything anymore with all of the propaganda and lies that the mainstream pushes. People just stew in confusion.

 

Just heartbreaking to see people suffering so terribly when it could be stopped... The murdering needs to stop on BOTH sides!

I don't believe half of what I see on the TV news but I don't pull out a weapon and shoot my TV.

that would be considered a negligent discharge. ps, I don't watch tv.

Please consider it sir.

you are deceived or blind. characters, belief, and ignorance, always expose themselves. Umb does a great job posting music and I always say that. Everything else is always tarnished. So you are also on the side of hamas, see, you have exposed your position.

Collective guilt, right, GR. Kids had NOTHING to do with any of this, but its OK to slaughter them also. "Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet...." Shouldnt let kids be kids, gotta learn the hard way that if your parents f-up, life is tough. Yep, the Krauts did the same thing in occupied countries-Kill a Soldaten, 10,25, 50, 100 are excuted in exchange for 1 precious Aryan blood. The Jews sure did learn that lesson well. Give em hell and teach them a good lesson! Make it so painful, they will never want to fight again......well, maybe.......

Dunno, just saying.....
