Israeli Military Declares Online Media ‘Another War Zone’ Journalists Kept Carefully Away From Gaza as Israel Tries to Restrict Coverage
Jason Ditz
December 30, 2008
Across the world, mainstream journalists are expressing increasing disquiet at the way the Israeli government is trying to manage international coverage of its war on the Gaza Strip. Journalists have been barred not just from the strip itself, but the government is now prohibiting journalists from going to parts of Israel near the Gaza Strip.
The Foreign Press Association is petitioning the Israeli Supreme Court to overturn the ban, which is limiting the ability of media outlets to cover the attacks, and forces them to rely on second and third hand reports from Israeli military and Hamas spokesmen regarding the situation on the ground.
As the media struggles to get up-to-date information, television news coverage is narrow, and often relies on interviews with Israeli government officials explaining why the killings are righteous and legitimate expressions of democracy and freedom, more and more people are turning to online news sites (like Antiwar.com) for their war coverage.
The Israeli military has therefore announced that online media and the blogosphere are another warzone for the military to manage. To that end, the military is launching its own Youtube channel to bring the viewing public footage of "precision bombing operations" in the strip.
In ensuring that the only footage of their military operation is provided directly from them, the Israeli military is another step closer to completely managing public perception of the ongoing attacks. The military says the footage will allow the public to "know that people killed did not have peaceful intentions toward Israel," which presumably means coverage of the killing of five children in their beds in a refugee camp last night, and the scores of other civilian deaths, will be carefully omitted from the official coverage.

IDF's YouTube Gaza channel to Correct Ourselves
/ / it will disseminate footage of precision bombing operations \ \
Precision? They dropped seven million land mines in Lebanon, after having seeked out where the Jews lived, (Northern Lebanon), and murdered them firstly! JEWS. They, as enemies of God, like those of FoxNews, will refuse these type of FACTS on their hatred for Love and Justice. Their hatred for Jews, real Jews, like me. Understand: American baby formula has been contaminated with poisons, and FoxNews doesn't think it's important to their corporate responsibilities to kill ourselves further for profit. The Zionist will murder anyone just to steal your belief in God as Love. They HATE me for being wise and Just. Hate. For, why wouldn't America support my demands for open radio communications on the Coast to Coast radio network? Americans would rather murder Humanity before Justice succeeds beyond their illusions of grandeur through the mass murdering of ourselves for stolen gains. The banker does not cover our loans! Giving them trillions for free unquestioningly is dumber than rocks. Enough.
Fake Rocket Attack http://xymphora.blogspot.com/2005/02/fake-rocket-attack.html
Remember however, the Zionist has no qualms about killing Innocent Jews too if it means Americans will get it more free welfare to murder ourselves. They openly STEAL Peoples homes in that nation run as thieves don't You know? Or as it is just open public knowledge that the Zionist excepts that 911 was actually a good thing for them as war criminals reaping the cash rewards for continuing capital murders?
/ / Ehud Barak promised that the war would continue “to the bitter end.” \ \
That is you there Barak promises to end bitterly as the innocent the demon targets for ungodly murder. How could ANY REAL MAN steal food from a Christian baby? How do they do it?, as the inhuman. (Like bushite do in Iraq, while on CNN in interview tell US, they are there war criming for neocon traitors to steal everything as "helping the Iraqi children". They offer no clean water, no food, just indiscriminate bombing campaigns of evil incarnate. True fascist nazi enemies of true freedom in America who advance censorship to anyone like myself. Why? They lose. They are not men but Satanic enemies of the King to Jews, the Messiah. I Am. Thieves to the scriptures of Hillel, and of Moses. Thieves to the intent of every true religious person, for God is everywhere. God is the Word, and the Word is Holy. So, fuck you and die bushite nazi traitors to American Justice, those of them who refuse US open free words to resolve their war criminal behaviors as is done in godless Israel today against INNOCENT Christians. Done before another innocent other has our homes stolen, or is murdered by the lawless grunting bushite dumfuk enemies of Jesus Christ. I am King already, always have been, always will be. Live with it. The Koran is filled with great understandings on this relationship. Christ is mentioned more than Mohammad - and Mary can be understood as the mother of all being before we are. a virgin.) I am of God as the son, the 'Creator', but an awesome miracle to the truth of this light and shadow business is, I am but only a man. (Albeit, a Man unknown to modern day American corporated banker philosophy, but a real man none the less) My 'magical' abilities to transcend space time in a thought transfixed by wonder are of yourself too with Nature - that in Truth, casts no judgment as is not separate of living ourselves. Don't believe you have trillions of living cells in your body, operating 'independently'? Well, if your dreaming about a home, where did that structure come from? Did you build it? Do you even have a clue of how a TV, or toaster is constructed Any idea whatsoever American? Likely not. Seriously, likely not. As ACTUAL Creator, I am mostly to the, 99.9 percent of the 99.9th power, a simple stand in for indivisible principle. But Americans refuse to grant me my Challenge against the public conduct of our international concerns going undressed. While, on CNN they can talk proud of killing innocent Iraqis for the escape of the neocon terrorists who done did John wrong on 911, and continue to con soldiers too for death through the likes of a KBR, AEGIS, and blatant naked traitor Sattler.
Life is real to know, if you seek, and not go so freaked out as Living is as it always has been. Knowing God is cool, 'amazing', yeah, whatever, but we are of too this real world suffering for our lack of respect for a wise person speaking. I WANT FREE PUBLIC DEBATE FOR JUSTICE AS ALL INCLUDED. Now really, is that too much for US to ask freely? What say you Googler? Afraid I will truly make your banker gods look like fools?, the gods we all give more than half our lives |
| Comment by deanna usa - 01 Jan 2009 - 20:21 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | They are also working overtime to slant and censor blogging comments on several sites..... Huffpost in particular has censored my comments several times. Direct criticism of Israeli policy and the truth about the Irgun, Lehi and Stern gang are not al lowed....Anything about what Israel has done to my country (USA...ie: spying, se lling our secrets to other countries, bombing the USS Liberty, false flag attacks) is censored....
God help us....the Israelis....they are the real terrorists and they have my cou ntry by the throat.... |
