That is how real news works, the journalist needs to be the trustworthy source not the information they share.

What good is a journalists with false or bad information? So real news is trustworthy if you "think" the person reporting it is?

"Hamas states no truce will be reached soon, according to Hamas." Harry Fear...

Many news channels took interviews from him, RT, AJ etc. I guess they atleast confirmed the basics.

How do we know they are not paying him and telling him what to say? They could be the exact people behind him giving him credence. RT is funded by the Russian Government, they would NEVER lie now would they?

Abu Obeida, spokesman for the Hamas militant wing, said the group had fired a long-range rocket at Jerusalem.

"We are sending a short and simple message: There is no security for any Zionist on any single inch of Palestine and we plan more surprises," he said. Hamas officials said the rocket was a homemade "M-75" rocket, a weapon that has never been fired before.

The Israeli military offensive has been limited to airstrikes so far, but the military has called up 16,000 reservists ahead of possible Gaza invasion. Troops were seen massing near the border. The government has also increased the cap for reservists from 30,000 to 75,000.

Well done guys to those who have stayed on topic and kept the biase for either side out of the thread and reported purely on the events as they come to hand.

Ive been trying to catch up on 20 odd pages since last on.

Has anyone heard anything more on a road opening up to allow those who wish to escape a way to do so?,this needs to happen especially with the ground offensive gearing up.

I asked him 2 times on twitter about the Israeli pilots and he hasn't even bothered to respond. I mean if he is going to make claims like that he needs to back them up with some kind of physical evidence like a link or 2.

Please take your rhetoric to the other thread where it would be very much welcomed. Not being rude just limited on time spent on line right now and need Gaza info only.

In journalism it is not always safe to give up your sources especially in wartime. Thats the bottom line, so if you find a voice that you sense you can trust, listen. Otherwise there is always msm.

He is not running a thread or a discussion board. He is an independent, he relies on people.

I get that...but he doesn't or rather really hasn't backed up most of what he has said with any evidence. All i have seen and heard is his word. And based on his bias, that isn't good enough.

This was posted before but overlooked I think:

ITA that is why I can't watch him, he says things then provides nothing. I understand he is getting is info from people on the ground there, but I haven't been able to confirm many of the things he's said.

And for someone who is supposed to be "reporting" on Gaza, He sure has done a lot to avoid actually doing any field reporting. It aggravates me so much because a freelance writer, you can bet I would be out there in the field any chance I got. I would definitely not want to spend my time in front of the PC talking about it.

A great link to check out.

He keeps saying it's gotten quieter, despite the fact there have been several airstrikes since he's said that (more than a few times). If there were any Israeli soldiers captured, I doubt they would be getting "quieter." Besides I can still hear the drones.
