NBC News statement: Ayman Mohyeldin back to Gaza

Statement from an NBC News spokesperson:

"Ayman Mohyeldin has done extraordinary reporting throughout the escalation of the conflict in Gaza, filing 25+ reports over the past 17 days, including his invaluable and well-documented contribution to the story on the deaths of the four Palestinian children on Wednesday. As with any news team in conflict zones, deployments are constantly reassessed. We've carefully considered our deployment decisions and we will be sending Ayman back to Gaza over the weekend. We look forward to his contributions in the coming days."

2. Good. That must mean he's okay.

I still wonder about his health after this experience. Best of luck to him.

4. Ecxellent. So glad Greenwald and others raised a stink about it. He is a very good journalist.

5. But will they give him air time?

6. At this very moment a reporter named Sharif from Democracy Now is reporting on Chris Hayes' show

If I'm not mistaken Sharif is not a Jewish name. Also he is reporting from Gaza.

And is it possible that NBC owns MSNBC?

7. I think he's Egyptian.
