I have no idea how things got to that point, but those people are pretty freaking brave to go into the middle of that just to help people

And some Arab outlets count as real news.

We don’t know the context of this. Remember that 5 of the Palestinians killed were Hamas members.


Remember, enemies of America would love to divide Americans over the Israel/Palestine issue.


We should all be pushing for a real two party state.

I can also see others. Depends what I want to believe when I watch it.

As for the medics carrying the wounded themselves, who should do it? The soldiers? Did the medics bring orderlies? Do the soldiers report to their superior officers, the Palestinian medics?

Perhaps the soldiers were trying to stop the medics; perhaps they were in a risky area and didn't trust the medics--it's not like medics *haven't* turned out to be the bad guys at other times; perhaps the medics weren't exactly acting properly and needed to just tend to the wounded; perhaps some of the wounded were bad guys that the soldiers wanted to take into custody. One looks very much like the other, when edited.
