An investigation? Get over yourselves, it’s a war zone. People die everyday but when a journalist gets killed “OH THE HUMANITY!!!”

Where are these ‘press’ agents when innocent civilians are killed in Israel? Funny how the months and months of daily shelling and death from ‘Palestinian’ controlled Gaza towards Israel go unreported, yet these ‘reporters’, mostly Arab, go into high gear against Israel when their violence is answered. I include American media in this atrocity of factual reporting. Never before in my life have I seen such a gross misrepresentation of facts as with the Arab/Israeli conflict.

To all the muslims in that area. Israel retaliates against your attacks. You want it to stop? I guarantee if you stop attacking Israel no one will retaliate against you. It’s not rocket science, excuse the pun.

1) The tank is so far away the markings on the van, that they were not in, couldn’t possibly be read. He also stepped out and was filming.
2) They knew the risk coving such a place.
From the video:
“This is a tragic incident, one that really shows the risk that journalists take, every day, around the world”

This is all made up! No way this happened!

After all former President Jimmy Carter was just there and peace reigns.

Good job Jimmy!

While no one is happy to see anyone killed, the local Arab stringer hired by Reuters had to have known that he was working in rough territory. As others have noted: It is a war zone. Moreover, as much as Reuters nakedly shills for the Palestinians and and other Arabs, and as much as Reuters casts Israel in a poor light in its “news” releases, a rather strong case can be made that this photographer was a propaganda agent for the terrorists with whom he died. In fact, I would hardly be surprised to learn that he was a Hamas sympathizer. (British) Reuters is a disgusting news organization, as it hates Americans almost as much as it hates Israelis.

BS! BS! BS! Jounalists DO NOT have any special privelages over the people who are living there in danger every day! I understand you are grieving for a friend, but you are completely showing your ignorance by saying that journalists deserve to work in a war zone without the fear of death. Are you freaking stupid???
If that journalist was a Christian, be happy for him since he is probably in Heaven now. If he was anything other than a Christian, good riddance!
Furthermore, (a generalization) who’s to say that the footage he was capturing wasn’t going to be cropped and manipulated to serve your needs in selling newspaper articles and air time?????
Fact is, you’re trying to validate Stalin’s infamous quote that “One death is a tragedy, but a million is just a statistic.” Sorry Reuters, but your journalist has already become ‘Just A Statistic!’
