Israel clears troops who killed Reuters cameraman An Israeli tank crew who killed a Reuters cameraman and eight young bystanders in the Gaza Strip four months ago acted properly and will not face legal action, Israel's senior military lawyer has concluded.
Reuters attacks Israel's failure to take action over cameraman's death Reuters has said it is "deeply disturbed" that the Israeli military has decided the tank crew that killed one of the news agency's cameramen and eight young bystanders in the Gaza Strip four months ago will not face legal action.
FACTBOX - Death of Reuters cameraman Fadel Shana Fadel Shana, 24, was killed by several darts, known as flechettes, which burst from a shell fired by an Israeli tank on April 16 about 5:30 p.m. The tank firing and shell bursting were the final images on tape before Shana's camera was destroyed. Eight other civilians aged between 12 and 20 were killed, six of them aged under 16. At least seven other bystanders aged from 10 to 18 were also hit.

Sticks, carrots and nukes What a sad day to see the Guardian UK publishing a piece by a pro-Israel thinktank the WINEP chastizing folks for not taking Israel's view on Iran ('attack, attack'). The Guardian is fast falling under the auspices of the Israeli lobby. It began when CAMERA started going after them, and is now culminating with airtime being given to AIPACers. Shame.
