Stops propaganda coming out.

Al Jazeera footage showed Israeli troops firing on a cameraman,Imad Ranem, and being shot again twice while he was lying on the ground, with his camera fallen beside him.

Medical sources in Gaza reported that both his legs had later been amputated and he is in critical condition.

Israeli soldiers also fired on a rooftop where several journalists, including a Reuters camera crew, were filming. No one was injured.

During Thursday's raid, Azmi Abu Dalal, a Palestinian ambulance worker, said Israeli forces seized him and several colleagues and used them as "human shields" to exit the area.

Israeli law bans soldiers from using civilians for protection.

Doctored photo

not good to make a point and then illustrate it with a doctored photo. The Israeli soldier is a different colour level to the rest of the picture, and with the still being taken from a video the colour balance always comes out paler and faded than from a digital stills camera until corrected in an editing program, yet the soldier has good colour balance and a larger crisp resolution.

Don't report with doctored photos.

Nearly 6000 thousand Palestinians murdered by the israelis since 2000, including a blind old man in a wheelchair shot with with premeditation with a laser guided missile.

Of course, why wouldn't you trust Al Jazeera to report unbiased information about Israel?
As I see it, Gaza are the antagonists, and Israel, while it may be a bit too aggressive in it's defending itself against Hamas militia, is doing just that defending itself.
I mean come on, there is no other country in the world that would NOT declare war when it gets attacked every single fucking day by rockets.
And come on, 3 wars of annihilation.
Three!
No other existing country has had to deal with even one, and furthermore, no other country would not be incredibly aggressive and hostile towards any other country that participated in a war of annihilation against it.
But no, Israel supplies Gaza with all of their food, water, electricity, fuel (which they use to build and fire their rockets against us) and medicine, not to mention medical aid (Because the Hamas graciously killed 2 medical aid UN workers, so they closed up all their tents and now Israel has to help, god forbid it stop giving free stuff to the enemy), and everyone's angry at Israel, because they're the aggressors.

Man man

That blind old man, was the person who called for the deaths of all Jews, no matter where they lived. He inspired tens of thousands of people to murderous frenzy. He continued to preach hate, and was directly involved in planning terrorist activities.

Bad, bad, journalism

"He continued to preach hate, and was directly involved in planning terrorist activities."

So a legitimate government would arrest him. Only a terrorists would fire a missile at a wheel-chair.

Oscar, fully agree, you worded it badly imo but called it correctly. You can still see the white dots around the cut and paste, very unprofessional. I'm an amateur but even I wouldn't make that mistake. It almost seems designed to be discovered. It is as bad as that doctored Reuters picture of Lebanon burning last year, much worse in fact. Like you say though, that doesn't imply the incident was faked. I can understand why people try to fake these things when they know them to be true and don't have a suitable photo. I can also think why their opponents may wish to release obviously faked photos.

If you want to find out if the incident was real, search on the Israeli media for that name. they all report it and the actual inident was wose than reported here. The cameraman was only one of 11 shot dead.
