Not that this, or anything else from the growing mountain of evidence, will stop the mainstream media, the UN and Barack Obama from condemning Israel for supposedly targeting civilians.The Israel Defense Forces posted this photo on Facebook with this explanation:
A France 24 reporter was searching for the location of Hamas’ rocket launchers in Gaza. He found one in a residential area next to a UN building. Share this screenshot. Tell the world how Hamas operates.

Greetings:
I watch a fair amount of the France 24 news programming and the reporter to whom you allude, Gallagher (two last names only) Fenwick is more than a bit of an Islamophile so this report is something of a finding God moment for him career wise. He has routinely used his “lean and hungry look” to transmit both his personal distress and the Hamas propaganda line. Even at the end of this report, he seems to be slipping back into the safety of his accustomed Hamasophilic ways.
As my Oyrish granmama used to say, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Yes, I know his work, which as you say, its a little surprising him exposing this, maybe he’s seen the light and really cares for the Gazans who are also hamas’s victims. This was on the tails of the Indian TV exposure, maybe that nudged him in to honesty?

Greetings, marc:
And, as I forgot to mention in my initial reply, although Mr. Fenwick’s two last names bespeak a British Isles heritage, his accent sure doesn’t. I can’t quite identify it and that certainly adds to my wondering.
marc says
I’ve done a little research on Mr Fenwick on google, all very elusive, unlike most reporters who love the sound of their own name. Strangerer and strangerer as my Grandmother used to say 🙂

CNN is currently talking about Bibi’s press conference and discussing the rockets being launched from civilian areas by Hamas “or some other group” Pelosi was told Hamas was a humanitarian group by Quatar so CNN knows it can’t possibly be Hamas that is doing this.
One reporter from CNN at the press conference asked even if Hamas is firing rockets from the area around schools isn’t Israels response “disporportionate?!”

I’ve seen much of France 24’s reports on “missle launchers” near/in UN facilities. It was getting so common that I wasn’t sure it was against the rules. Funny, I didn’t know that I had the only line to their broadasts. It’s about time that someone said something. Fr24 only sent me canned replies when I ask them a question. RT just ignres me.
