Shame on the Committee to Protect Journalists: the Committee to Protect Israel

"The Committee to Protect Journalists mourns the death of four Palestinian journalists who have been killed since Israeli military operations began in Gaza on December 27. One journalist was fatally injured while working; three others were killed under unconfirmed circumstances. "We mourn the loss of our four colleagues and extend our condolences to their families and coworkers," said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator. "Their deaths highlight the risks journalists face in covering the ongoing conflict in Gaza."" Look at that phraesology. Look at that lousy statement that is intended to protect--not journalits--but the Israeli terrorist military. Notice their reference to the "conflict in Gaza." There is no conflict in Gaza, there is bombing OF Gaza, in case you have not noticed. And people are not dying from "the crossfire" but from the bombs and missiles that are coming down on people's head. (thanks Mariwan)
