Lots of talk and analysis in the blogosphere over the death of Fadel Shana and his martyr's funeral.
Video from Reuters showing final video.
Augean Stables looks for elements of Pallywood.
Snapped Shot is sniffing for Fauxtography.
Dave has a look at a previous shady incident involving Shana, as does Charles. Elder of Ziyon also has a look around the incident.
I haven't looked at the analysis in depth yet, but here's what I note at the outset. The wires use these local stringers who often have connections to the terrorists as Shana clearly did. And this guy is sitting in the bushes pointing a tube-like shoulder-held object toward a tank in a combat zone that has its barrel pointed in his direction. Bad Idea Jeans. The TV sticker on the SUV looks pretty slap-dash, not that it could be seen from the tank (nor was he in the SUV when fired on), nor would it matter, considering the history (links to previous use by terrorists of TV truck).
It all combines to make a very dangerous situation for cameramen, and every reason for the Israelis to stick to their guns (so to speak).
Another Palestinian Pallywood". Reuters Palestinian journalists are simply liars involved up to their neck in terrorism.
For Hamas using the cover of Reuters.
In such opertaions, the observer/spotter is clear danger to troops, and must be a priority target.
No wonder the Palestinians are mourning him as a shahid.
If you want to film the troops ASK PERMISSION otherwise don't be surprised if your "journalism" ends like this.
For Reuters using shrapnel against civilians of Sderot is "legitimate resistance", whereas use of any type of shrapnel trying to prevent it, is certainly a "war crime".
