Actually, when a country is committing atrocities - it doesn't matter how much it tries to hide it from the world. What we are seeing in Gaza is genocide. But it's not a surprise - since ethnic cleansing of Palestinians is the cornerstone of the Zionist ideology. The Palestine Review http://palestinereview.com

Killing children, women and unarmed men and then not letting any one know about it is a great way to find peace. As the Pope said Gaza has become today's biggest concentration camp. With US as the guard of this camp, you can do anything you want with no questions asked. And yeah, Jesus and Moses both will be very happy looking over the faces of dea children and your support of it. God save us and pardon us for what we have done to these people.

Israel is correct in limiting access to propagandists intent on doing her harm. For example, why doesn't the press publicize the Charter of Hamas or of the PA which are vile and call for genocide and the destruction of Israel. Why does the press not publicize that when a Muslim uses the word "occupation" they are referring all of Israel - not just Gaza and the West Bank and why does the press not understand the Nazi like theology of radical Islam. Just because Radical Islam is not strong enough now to successfully act on their murderous xenophobic agenda does not make them the victims.

Israel has been known to target and kill reporters. They have no regard for the safety of reporters they only want to control the flow of information, and they are very good at it. The information is out there, however. Pictures speak for themselves no matter what the source. Children are dying in Palestine in what can, at best, be seen as the botched FBI crackdown on the Waco compound on a larger scale.

Are you saying that in 2006 Hezbolah allowed the press to operate freely in Lebanon? They did not require reporters to have Hezbolah escorts? They did not decide where tv cameras could and could not go? This is not a matter of whether or not there is free press during the Gaza war. This is about whether Hamas will be in control of the news (read: propaganda) the media will report - Just as Hezbola did in 2006, or whether Israel will not allow that to happen again. Do you think Hamas is going to suddenly allow freedom of the press? They never did before and war doesn't present them much of an incentive.

I believe in freedom of the press and the right of the public to know what's really going on. That's the only way one form an intelligent opinion about what's going on. Thank you, Mr. Finer for your article.
