Its quite simple. Then we can all see Israell loves palestinian civilians and is only aiming at gunmen - ho are all btw playing peek-a-boo behind little kids. And that all that white gas is just some harmless smoke (white smoke that leaves burns?) And that Israeli is 'doing its utmost' to avoid civilian casualties - of which there is now over at least 600. And that Hamas is keeping piles of bombs in mosques and UN schools and clinics with the the help from Christians (which is of course why the red cross clinic was bombed they say). I mean, if Israel can see these from the sky, how can journalists miss them from close-up? And that All those press/UN cars bombed had hamas drivers and were loaded with rockets. INSTEAD they post their own cheap youtube videos from 2007 and expect us to accept such 'fair and impartial' evidence, as they did with regards to bombing the UN school. Only to have it totally rejected by the UN: http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2009/01/20091805410769377.html wrote: John Ging, the director of operations in Gaza for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa), told reporters that he had visited the school during a three-hour lull in the fighting on Wednesday and "was reassured by the management of the school ... that there were no militants in the school". Ging added that these were his "own staff, senior, experienced, long-serving staff". "I am very confident now that there was no militant activity inside the school nor militants in the school," he said. He also reiterated a call for an independent investigation into the incident. "If anybody has evidence to the contrary, then let's bring it forward," Ging said. Watch John Ging himself reject their claims: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=lT9rjF2EKBY So if letting journalists iin will only work in israel's favour, why put illegal restrictions to do the opposite and STOP them? CAN YOU BELIEVE ANYTHING ISRAEL SAYS? Alistair, at least Hamas has the honesty to claim responsibility for its actions of resistance (not terrorism as you call it - but their legal right to resist the occupier). At least they are not as low or hypocritical as israel to break international law throuhg the siege, routinely intimidate and militarily harass and even kill (in the four years prior to this operation cast lead massacre, Israel had killed 1,339 gazans), and then kill over 1000 people in 2 weeks (mostly civilian, over 300 children), use banned white phosphorous, with the most advanced (US supplied) weaponry against a strip of land of impoverished people walled in by a fence (remnd you of the holocaust?)... AND AFTER ALL THIS IT HAS THE HYPOCRISY TO CLAIM IT IS THE 'CIVILISED/ADVANCED/ NATION OF THE MIDDLE EAST AND IS A VICTIM?! [by the way, you failed to answer my question but tried diverting to hamas as usual] mov ah 4ch, actually you should look up cluster bombs that have been banned by most countries (except US and Israel of course) to see 'multiple explosions'. And is that your only evidence, that you saw multiple explposions after a building was bombed? who said it wasn't gas canisters (used to provide fuel/heat) didn;t go off, or gas pipes, etc. Or at least let in the journalists after your attack so they can verify it was 'bombs' (but really, intelligence means youre supposed to KNOW the target before you hit, not find out after you hit it. That's called stupidity - and murder). As happened in this example where a man lost 8 people loading gas canisters (which shows those cheap videos they show can never be regarded as reliable proof): http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7809371.stm What a lame excuse you make: "We want to protect the journalists so we dont let them in, even if this is illegal. But we love you journalists too much, you must understand that surely?" llc, I wish i could give my name to you so you cold live up to it. Journalists have been BATTLING to get in - NOT that they don't want to get in. Its their job. See for yourself: http://www.presstv.ir/Detail.aspx?id=82149§ionid=351020202 And when it comes to journalists' safety, it is Israel who has killed them before (remember rachel corrie) and is still doing so in this operation cast lead massacre: http://cpj.org/2009/01/journalists-killed-in-gaza.php http://abcnews.go.com/International/Story?id=5175465&page=1 Next time, please be ready to post some proof for your claims.

I can believe the 425 terrorist attacks that Hamas has claimed responsibility for from september 2000 - december 2008
2 :
how will the *brave* israel hide its atrocities if every freakin thing they do gets covered up?
3 :
they don't want them to see what they are doing.
4 :
I can believe secondary explosions. There are no missiles that explode 5 times in a row - such weapon was not invented yet. When I see 1 missile hit a mosque and 5 explosions, that means there were bombs there. The reason they dont want any journalists in the sector is that they realise that the journalists will end up in harm's way, put there by Hamas - and Israelis will be blamed for that too.
5 :
israel needs it's propaganda machine... nothing much else going for them, their contributions are nil and well... it's time for israel to grow up....
6 :
Yr assumed name " think" is what u need to do. First of all journalists can only see what they are allowed to see. Journalists will not always do a good job for a number of reasons including put their own lives at risk when they are abt to find out that Hamas and the like do not want them to find out. Good try though. Israel has to finish the job now or never.
7 :
To mov ah 4ch: Israel can allow journalists to enter at their own risks by signing an agreement that Israelis will not be responsible if anything happens there. That’s what journalism is all about. But Israel is just finding ways so they could not be caught by international law makers or UN. And they are also afraid of what will happen if their own people will get to know what really is happening in Gaza?
8 :
Ah... the old "It's for the journalists' own protection" excuse. People using that should give up. Just give up. Nobody buys it. It is the plain "let's hide the truth (or carnage) as long as we can". There are plenty of journalists willing to risk their lives for a good story. The media really wouldn't care. And as if Israel would care for the lives of journalists more than it cares for the lives of, for instance, the Canadians who were caught on the area. It took Israel 10 days to "allow" them to leave the ghet... the area. Meanwhile, get bombed.
9 :
simply because that would unsettle every thing israel claimed and intent to fabric,,
10 :
The journalists would blow their white hat off and expose their lies and true gruesome side.
11 :
for all the guys who say that israel doesnt want the journalists to get harmed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in fact Israel shoot journalists and Doctors ambulances hospitals !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
