David, Amercan activist Rachael Corrie who was baldozed in israel in 2003 was not poiting weapons at the israeli soldier, she was protecting a family’s house, is that a war zone to you?? hundreds of reporters killed before, on purpose, were doing their job, which Israelis dont seem to like… Remember Lebanon, Qana, the UN shelter bombed by Israeli aircraft in 1996?!!! IT HOUSED WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO HAD FLED THE ISRALEI FIRES!!!! More than 100 of their bodies were ripped into pieces!!!!! What guilt have they committed?? For land they kill, for oil they kill, for elections and political gains they kill, and innocents pay.. IT IS THAT SIMPLE!!! May God have mercy on Fadal’s soul and on the soul’s of all the innocent palestinians, and all the innocents butchered by the ISRAELI tyrany!

Hi my name is Jena Anderson and I work for Global Journalist magazine. We are putting together a tribute to be on our website commemorating the lives of journalists who have been killed in 2008. If anyone knows Fadel Shana personally and would like to share any information or stories about him, or if you could offer up any contacts of someone who knows him personally, I would love to hear from you. We would like to make this tribute as special as possible. You can contact me at jlafyb@mizzou.edu.

This tragic episode only goes to reinforce the isolation of Israel and its efforts to dominate this troubled region. I only hope the US with a new government in waiting withdraws the support it has previously afforded them. Whilst we all condemn the attacks by Hamas on Israeli targets, the responses border on criminality. I am convinced that if the cameraman had been of US or UK nationality, the story would have been of higher priority. Sadly another wasted life in this tragic saga.

If you point a large shoulder-held device at a tank in a war zone, you will be killed. The TC does not have time for close examination. If it were an ATW it would look the same and the only thing the commander can do is shoot fast and hope he doesn’t get the round off.

An organization of veteran IDF soldiers has collected hundreds of testimonies of troops who served in the Occupied Territories. ‘Breaking the Silence’ exposes the horrors Palestinians face under occupation by encouraging soldiers to speak out. Below is the link to their website:

http://www.shovrimshtika.org/about_e.asp

Studies have been conducted in order to try and explain the IDF’s violent behavior towards the Palestinians. Nufar Yishai-Karin, a clinical psychologist at Hebrew University published a disturbing report. She found that Many IDF troops actually enjoyed the destruction and choas they brought onto the civilian population. One soldier operating in Gaza put it this way:

‘The most important thing is that it removes the burden of the law from you. You feel that you are the law. You are the law. You are the one who decides… As though from the moment you leave the place that is called Eretz Yisrael [the Land of Israel] and go through the Erez checkpoint into the Gaza Strip, you are the law. You are God’

Israeli society feels very uncomfortable with what is happening in their name. Yet they prefer to shrug it off when incidents of brutality are reported. These atrocities are not few and far between but occur on a daily basis. Based on the testimonies, it is clear that many IDF troops have suffered psychological and emotional trauma as a result of their actions. The moral corruption within the IDF is in danger of spreading even further if it does not seriously address this problem.

One hopes that Fadel Shana’s tragic death may act as a catalyst for other soldiers to speak out against the brutal occupation.

I have a reason to believe that he was purposely killed just like other jounalists who attempt to convey an accurate picture of who the “real” terrorists are(Israelis). They don’t want the world to see their barbaric killings of civilians, young and old. But I urge Reuters to emphasize this headline and show the “real” picture of whats going on in Gaza.

It was The Israelis that killed him and because it would be antisemitic to condemn Israel for its killing, the story will not find lots of puplicity. What is sad is that those who killed him and killed thousands of children will never be called terrorist. Shame on Israel and those who support that terrorist state blindly.
