Our file broke as we ran in all directions. The spotlight spread ahead of the man running in front of me who tripped as he jettisoned his bandolier of ammunition. I fell face first into the sand as automatic fire lifted it in little fountains; I drenched my pants. Salah fell back, swivelled on his belly and returned the fire, a brave and stupid act as he was blinded by the spotlight and had declared himself a target.<br />1 found our marker at the riverbank and catapulted myself on to one of the tubes. There was a volley of grenade explosions, the roaring of the motor, then silence. The Israeli patrol had driven away at speed. They had been as surprised as we were; and perhaps their panic had matched ours, with the exception of Salah, whose furious detonations had doubtless given the impression of a force of formidable numbers. He stumbled towards us and into the mud, carrying his brother who was drenched in blood and crying."<br /><br />BTW wars are between soldiers, have someone read Geneva 3 Art.4(2) to you and Art.3(1) while you're at it.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024690260923786342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-7302639999111816422013-09-10T21:01:55.088+10:002013-09-10T21:01:55.088+10:00Perhaps I need to go to Specsavers - I can't s...Perhaps I need to go to Specsavers - I can't see the word "participating" anywhere...Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-78710801697012523912013-09-10T18:12:04.186+10:002013-09-10T18:12:04.186+10:00You peddle lies in the same way that you accuse ot...You peddle lies in the same way that you accuse others of doing. Pilger reported on the PFLP as journalists report on war, from one side or another, with or without commitment to that side. To accuse him of "participating", as if he were taking military action, is a downright lie, which you should retract. And, if only, to apologise. You do the cause of Israel, and peace in Israel and the region, no good at all.RHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-91922834024359391672012-06-22T22:27:15.896+10:002012-06-22T22:27:15.896+10:00I think you’ll find Reuters crossed over from bias...I think you’ll find Reuters crossed over from bias to outright anti-Israel propaganda a while ago.<br />The Reuters Photo Scandal<br />A comprehensive overview of the four types of photo fraud committed by Reuters, August, 2006<br />http://www.zombietime.com/reuters_photo_fraud/<br />Adnan Hajj photographs controversy<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adnan_Hajj_photographs_controversy<br />Fauxtography at Reuters: What Was Removed?<br />http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=2&x_outlet=36&x_article=1868Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024690260923786342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-19398489628710936022012-06-22T10:00:40.184+10:002012-06-22T10:00:40.184+10:00Very interesting, this link to the "Reuter...Very interesting, this link to the "Reuter's view of Israel".

They show no interest in the human rights and welfare of Palestinians unless Israel is somehow involved. Lebanon maintained apartheid rules against Palestinians - <i>no interest</i>, Jordan removes citizenship rights from Palestinians who arrived after 1967 - <i>no interest</i>. Kuwait slaughters 60,000 Palestinians after the Gulf War and expels most of the rest - <i>no interest</i>. Restrictions on women in Gaza - <i>no interest</i>. Arbitrary arrest in the Palestinian Authority - <i>no interest</i>.
