Following Bombed Kids, NBC Pulls Reporter For Reporting Truth

Brilliant point, I know for damn sure if it was one of my boys killed like that I'd be out for blood and so would the majority of my family. They are just creating more and more resistance every time the kill innocent men women and children.

At the same time, Palestinians are doing the same thing lobbing rockets into Israel. I understand the death toll is fewer, but it's not helping their cause.

...and you got this...

A couple weeks ago Hamas kidnaps and murders 3 teenage boys (link) and I'm sure every IDF soldier marching towards Gaza has got that on their mind.

Bottom line is both sides are wrong. They need to resolve this conflict without violence, if not, don't complain when your people are dying around you. That's what you get when you sign up for violent resolution.

Ah, but you're being intellectually dishonest.

"The death toll is fewer"

Technically, the death toll among Israelis is almost NIL. Those home made rockets being launched into "Israel"? They land no where near anyone. The Palestinians may as well be hurling rocks into the desert, in the general direction of Israel.

This entire farce of an invasion, and it is an invasion, is built upon a false premise. That being that Israel uses any excuse to justify further expansion into what's left of Palestine.

You should be ashamed for exaggerating Palestinian reaction to being bulldozed out of their homes. Have you no conscience? Are are you simply paid too well to lie on the internet, for all the "work" that entails.

Want some verifiable proof of the blatant corruption going on in this mess, including those Israeli parliament officials involved and who stand to profit from "settling" Palestinian land?

Thanks to powerful intervention from MK Omri and his father PM Ariel Sharon, environmentalists fought off real estate developers and won a battle to develop Mount Hiriya and the surrounding agricultural lands into a sprawling public park slated to be almost three times as large as Central Park in New York. Formerly known as "Park Ayalon", the park has been renamed after the former Prime Minister and is slated to be "Ariel Sharon Park".[2]

Critics accused Sharon and his father, Ariel Sharon, of nepotism, especially when Ariel sent Omri as his unofficial representative for talks with members of the Palestinian Authority.

In 2006, Omri became involved in a scandal relating to fundraising for his father's 1999 Likud leadership campaign.[3][4] On July 26, 2005, Israeli attorney general Menachem Mazuz announced that he would indict Omri on charges of corruption. Omri had parliamentary immunity at the time, but indicated willingness to stand trial. The Knesset passed a law limiting members' immunity in order to allow the indictment. Omri was formally indicted on August 28, charged with felonies of political corruption and with perjury.

Care to guess where this new public park is slated to be built? How "inconvenient" it must be to have all these Palestinian people still living on that land, amirite?

When the Israeli mindset consists entirely of "God gave this land to me!", Zionist ultra-nationalism is essentially no different from the Nazi mentality that had them evicted from Germany. It wouldn't surprise me if members of the Knesset had Nazi flags draped across their home walls.

Note that Ariel Sharon suffered from major health problems right around the time he was under investigation for his role in this scandal. It's a shame he died before he could recover enough to be sent to prison to serve time for his crimes.

And every Hamas freedom fighter has this on her/his mind:

IDF soldier(s) shot dead two Palestinians kids on 5-15-2014. No arrests, no court-martial … Israel has no credibility.

Didn't Israel warn everyone bombs where coming and they should evacuate?

Pladuim

WHERE ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO?
All the borders are essentially blocked, they can't escape out to sea because ISRAEL is blocking that too.
these people are all trapped, it is extremely disingenuous to suggest they just "evacuate"

CNN Removes Reporter Diana Magnay From Israel-Gaza After 'Scum' Tweet

Option 1: Security Concerns could really mean any number of things. There are a genuine variety of concerns with regard to security. Could be valid.

Option 2: It is known that Ayman Mohyeldin has pretty good sources and relationships with people in Palestine of various natures. This could be a US Government intervention via NBC Executives.

Option 3: Israel may have view his relationships with certain contacts and sources as a threat and asked the US State Department to intervene and remove him.

Option 4: US Intelligence may have concerns and questions for him regarding who he knows and what he may be involved in.

Option 4: It could be a cover up of the genuine news by any and all interested parties.

Option 5: It could be that NBC just doesn't want him to make his bones on this reporting and prefer to send someone they want who is more familiar.

More options as needed........

Honestly, I think Israeli officials are behind it. Propaganda at it's best but that's just pure speculation on my part. He is completely silent on the matter at current so unless he comes forward and airs all of the dirt on the issue we won't know for sure.

There was 3000 rocket and mortar attacks against Israel in the last 3 years. Somehow that doesn't seem comparative to "throwing rocks in the general direction of Israel."

The death toll much smaller, yet still about 300 injuries.

They/you/we all obviously know the response the IDF is going to give, so they are poking the beast and playing on sympathy? We should feel sorry for someone that launches rockets and mortars from civilian zones hoping their own innocent people get killed to make Israel look bad?

Something that should be addressed on the world stage. I never said I am pro Israel or pro Palestine. I've already said repeatedly that this kind of thinking is pointless, and neither side is winning (whether or not they are gaining territory).

Perhaps united Arab states in the Middle East could pull enough political power to actual come to some sort of resolution with Israel and Western interests, but you won't see that, because even they themselves can't get along.

It's just another example of blue vs. red, manufactured enemies among the poor and fruitless, war provoked by the pockets waiting to be stuffed by it.

Where in this below video link showing two innocent teenagers being taking out by Israeli sniper bullets, back in March of this year , is Hamas making Israel look bad?

You do realize Israel kills innocent children and women on purpose in order to antagonize and terrorize the Palestinian people which results in anguish that leads to bottle rockets (which do nothing) being launched into Israel?

I remember being picked on in my early schooldays by an older bully. I finally had enough and threw a punch at him which had no effect. He proceeded to kick the stuffing out me. The principle's response to me was, "don't try to hit people bigger than you". WTF?! Was my response. You sound like that irrational principle. Btw, I later came to find out that the principle was the bully's uncle. Pretty much sums up your unfair and biased understanding of the Israel/Palestine conflict. The world will never know peace until people face the truth and confront it with fairness and honesty in their hearts.

Here's the link of the two teenagers having the life snuffed out of them because of the Israel sniper 's disgusting hate for Palestine. Go ahead and fight Hamas for political reasons but don't go kill children.

www.theguardian.com...

btw, I have tons of links of videos and photos of children being murdered systematically by IDF even when there is peace truce. You do realize that the IDF kills every day children and women? You do realize that the IDF does things to humiliate and demean ordinary innocent Palestinian people every day; not just when there is conflict?

Any way...

a reply to: Involutionist

I'm confused, does Hamas have child proof suicide vests and childproof rockets they've been launching? The only reason the death toll went down on Israels side is because the iron dome.

Iron Dome was declared operational and initially deployed on 27 March 2011 near Beersheba.[12] On 7 April 2011, the system successfully intercepted a Grad rocket launched from Gaza for the first time.[13] On 10 March 2012, The Jerusalem Post reported that the system shot down 90% of rockets launched from Gaza that would have landed in populated areas.[10] By November 2012, official statements indicated that it had intercepted 400+ rockets.

Your bully analogy would be relevant if you had a pellet gun and were randomly shooting people on the way into school but you know, a lot of them missed and only once in a while it took someone's eye out.

It will never be resolved until one side extinguishes the other...I would prefer the non-islamic world to the world with them in charge. Anyone that claims otherwise maybe pollyannaish. These people want to fight, let them. Same with Russia let them until they no longer can take killing each other anymore, but it will take a lot of war for them to get to that point, stop holding them all back, let them wipe each other out, less religious people that take an extreme position to deal with anymore.....besides our president seems to enjoy deploying predator drones to solve his problems, who might we be to judge them?

This is shameful for the 1st Amendment!

The American people deserve to know what is really going on.

Many many Americans believe Israel is a thorn in our side. Despite the PR campaign, many Americans are aware to what is going on and do NOT support Israel and the bloodshed they have caused.

If you lived in Kansas and wanted to lob rockets into Texas and murder teens, then I doubt Texans would care much if some of your kids were in the vicinity of their return fire.
