Quest for truth over Gaza death

[Resistance]

BBC News

James Miller was a cameraman on the side of the underdog.

He had a great eye, and he used his talents as a warrior against inhumanity wherever he found it: in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe.

On 2 May this year he was shot dead by an Israeli soldier in Rafah, in the occupied Gaza Strip.

James was a friend of mine.

We had worked and played in some of the hottest war zones on the planet, and six months on I still find it impossible to imagine that he is no longer with us.

He was very, very good in a war zone so that to James' friends it seemed incredible that he had been killed in some stupid accident of war.

1. More deaths, more killing...

by IDF soldiers.

Very sad.

2. I watched the programme

The IDF was nailed to the wall.

Some of the "official" explanations were fairly hilarious - Corrie was killed by a "slab of concrete" after she "slipped" (reality: crushed to death almost certainly on purpose), Hurndall was wearing camo and firing a pistol (reality: orange fluo jacket and carrying a child), and Miller was shot in "crossfire" (reality: silence before the shots, APC driver had nightvision, bullet was from standard IDF issue rifle). :eyes:

At least it was on at primetime (7pm).

Chalk up another piece of anti-semitism.

3. It sounds like it's all the fault of the IDF

I don't buy it. There's more to it than that.

4. Why don't you "buy" it?

Why are you unable to believe that an IDF soldier would deliberately shoot and kill someone?

5. It's a gut thing

I can't explain it in terms you could understand. You know what I mean?

[Resistance]

6. maybe some facts and info

would help you with that 'gut thing'

Justice For James Miller

7. Go figure

He probably means to say that the "most moral army on the planet" is not capable of doing anything even remotely like that..
