Reflections of War - 14 Feb 09 - Part 4

[Niwram]

The Israeli government had neglected their own citiziens for years and let rocket attacks become a normal everyday occurence. The same people who thought it was hilarious terrorizing Israel and shooting tens of thousands of rockets at them day in and day out, finally got hit back. Morons. They have only themselves to blame. Israel should have stayed til the Gaza regime was neutralized.

[robbieirish]

you bigoted Israeli sympathizers ought to be ashamed of yourselves who come in here to blame hamas for this! Blame the force who pulled the trigger on these people instead of direct peace talks.

[Niwram]

@robbieirish Kind of har "talking" to someone whos shooting 80000 rockets at you. Hamas went to war with Israel. Israel has every right to bring them down once and for all.

[GodsRevelation]

This is all the hamas fault... Im sorry for the people and children its terrible! Therefore they should strike hamas even harder!!!! The Jews are God people..

[germanisrael1]

hamas start the war! so now they pey for it!!

[germanisrael1]

israel you are goog

[fred9099]

Al Jazeera reporters are just as bad as hamas and al qaeda. All of their reports are ugly lies.

If the palestinians have any complaints about their status in gaza, they should send them to hamas.

[susanonair247]

thankyou sherine and ayman you are the eyes for the outer world to see what is really happening in gaza..may allah give justice for all muslims i can't express the heartbreak i feel when i see the suffering of palestinans thankyou for showing us..

[nizareads]

Assalamu Alaikkum to Sherin & Aiman;

hats off to you, superb work, keep it up. I felt it as am watching someone like"Robert Fisk" greaaaaaaaaaaat...... May God bless you both.

[runwarraich]

so sad war should not happen

[kermynitro]

Palestine is not a sovereign nation. Then neither is Israel. Thats at least what half of the world believes. Because the same ruling that gave the right of existence to Israel also created Palestine.

And if wars decide, then dont complain if Iran funds Hamas. Or if they get nukes. If it is realpolitik you want then be prepared for that as well. Thats what throwing out morality means

If Israel accepts Palestine then it is over. But they dont...care about citizens, I think not.

[HorizonsOrientaux]

These two young reporters certainly deserve the highest journalism awards...this is journalism at the highest level.

[smartcop143]

In all the four part series why is there not a single mention of the idiotic Hamas who provoked Israel with their daily barrage of rockets?? AlJazeera is a great tool to whip up Arab passions and blame it all on Israel without one word said about Hamas who were supposed 2 protect these people.

Of course my heart aches for the people who went through this suffering, but sovereign nations cannot live under seige. The Hamas monkeys prove all they care about is their rhetoric and not their people

[kermynitro]

In the entire 7 lines you wrote why not a single mention of the bloackade which led to the rockets or the occupation of palestine which led to the creation of Hamas? You are a great tool to whip up Israeli passions and blame it all on Palestinians and not one word about the IDF who causes all of this

Of course my heart aches for the Israelis under rockets but soveregin nations can not live under occupation. The Israeli monekys prove that all they care about is rhetoric and not their people

[smartcop143]

Sorry my friend .. Palestine is is not a sovereign nation. There have been wars in all of History and there is a victor and there is a vanquished. If Hamas wants to challenge Israel then they need to bear the consequences.

btw.. you are absolutely wrong to compare Israels dedication to its people to that of Hamas. I have never seen a country that cares for its citizens like Israel does... remember they exchanged 200 terrorists for 2 of their dead soldiers. wao thats a nation 3 b proud of!

[spenglerX]

Nor do you care for them, so what does that make you?

[NATURIMAGEN2007]

Israel became a second naziregime.

Its time to boycott them!

[oakmeal53]

well the moral of the story? dont provoke Israel, of they will defend themselves.

[art2066]

oakmeal53, why don't you go back to the cave or rock that you came from and stop your moronic excuse of a comment. You are what's ailing this planet.

[oakmeal53]

you silly man. i dont live under a rock.  what would you do if you got rocketed daily? hmmm... retaliate????????? yes you would. thanks you, israel wins. this video presents the fruits gazans reap from their actions. fool.

[adribon]

Plain heartbreaking. What kind of a world are we living in?

[profwalter]

Sherine Tadros and and Ayman Mohyeldin's journalistic covering is very good. Congratulations for this courageous work to showing to the world the suffered and cruelties that civilians of Gaza for the inhuman attacks of the Israel Army.

If some day you have vacation, that deserve for the work that accomplish. They could come to Brazil to rest.

I hope you continue with health and success.

[amerindn]

Great reporters during this atrocity. They were our eyes and ears. Thank god they are safe.

[skrossi46]

the older and wiser i get i realise that in my lifetime i am witnesing the end of mankind.....all goverments are the enemy of peacefull life.god help us

[jagib2]

NO TO israeli Terror.

Solidarity with Palestinians who suffer the aggressions of a regime as fundamentally racist & as violent as apartheid South Africa. There can be no prospect of global peace or domestic progress while Israel runs amok in the middle east.

Boycott,Divest,Sanctions,Prose cute against israel

[jagib2]

NO TO israeli Terrorism.

Do not purchase any items with the barcode beginning with #729.

729 = 'made in israel'.

The moral imperative to answer the call "to impose broad boycotts and implement divestment initiatives against Israel similar to those applied to South Africa in the apartheid era," is overwhelming .

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," wrote Dr.M.L King

Boycott,Divest,Sanctions,Prose cute against israel

[amrai94]

I am very thankful to these 2 journalists who did a great job while their life was in jeopardy. I will never forget what the Israelis did, I will never forgive. .

[YiwenChina]

Thank you Al Jazeera for this report. The Israeli crimes will be never forgotten. Hopefully the day comes when the world looks at Israel as a normal country. Hopefully we can forget that they are Jewish and judge them and their crimes as any other countries crimes

[yourcamden]

Shame on humanity for not stopping this atrocity.

[Bimo165]

jazzakallah khair ka tsiir for everyone out there struggling to deliver the truth

[Bastrop58]

Thank God you were there to report to the world what happened. It is clear to see why Israel did not allow journalists into Gaza to report on their wanton death and destruction. I agree with the lady in the video, SHAME on the world, especially the USA. It is an absolute cop-out for the west to only blame Hamas. The Israelis appear to have lost their collective souls and so has anyone else who can justify their actions in their War on Gaza...this was the behavior of mad men.

[ThisBoyTV]

i think u misunderstood me. i was agreeing with you.

[streebgriebling]

this the handy work of gods chosen ppl

[ThisBoyTV]

Only if u believe thier BS that they are chosen.

[justicewillsurvive]

israel terrorists are chosen ? to do what ? kill innocent civilians and make them suffer ?

[ThisBoyTV]

a misunderstanding.. i agree with u

[jeishawi]

Counting on the international community to bring justice is wishful thinking. The only way against the Zionists is the way of force. This worked many times with Hezbollah and is working with Hamas.

[bajawind]

it is up to every one of us that Israel is prosecuted for war crimes--bush & co too.

[ThisBoyTV]

Israel and the U.S. are not signers to the International Treaties that 182 countries signed. The only way to get the criminals into court is to pick them up when visiting a signing country. England is out since Blair and group are a part of this genocide.

[galaxyjaz]

very touching and beneficial, thank you for showing us this because it really gives us insight on the lives of reporters and a more personal understanding of what happened in that war. It brought me to tears but made me more certain of my choice to follow in Ayman and Sherine's footsteps =)

[naliuj]

so who is the winner? they both look like losers to me, Palestine for the lose of life and Israel for the loss of face. If you can justify the killings on either side, if a part of you feels joy, elation, satisfaction or justice at the loss of life that goes on, then you my friend are an immoral person.

[Lolastars21]

at 1:12, i want to fix Ayman's collar. I guess there were more important things for him that day

[cheapy2006]

fucking kikes, they deserved hitler!!!

[hallonolove]

odfighter you're mentality is the reason america is hated in europe, middle east, south america, and the rest of the world. you're an ignorant.

[AbuUbaydah1]

al yahood az zaalimeen

[odfighter]

08:38 she cryies about why her naighbors can live in peace and palestinians dont? because everyone choose peace and palestinians dont...

[0720541589]

Odfighter, what is wrong with you? stop being childish. You are watching Aljazeera and you want to hear you stupid comments there? you are a fool.

[cuman79]

The Isareli media does a fantastic job showing the details of the 13 Israeli SOLDIERS killed in the war. They however don't show any of the 1300 CIVILIANS killed , 1/3rd of which are children. Bravo to Al Jazeera for their coverage and to these journalists who risked their lives to bring this to the worlds attention.

[micahgee]

so true...

They SEEK the truth of what happens to people.

This series has brought me to tears. To see people dying and suffering on such a scale...so tragic and NOT NEEDED!
