Hamas' method of war: bending the truth, threaten journalists

[Lipush]

WASHINGTON - The Foreign Press Association (FPA) released a statement Monday condemning censorship by Hamas in the Gaza Strip in attempts to ensure that reports put the terrorist organization in positive light over the course of Operation Protective Edge.

"The FPA protests in the strongest terms the blatant, incessant, forceful and unorthodox methods employed by the Hamas authorities and their representatives against visiting international journalists in Gaza over the past month," read the statement.

According to members of the organization, which comprises of some 500 journalists from 32 different countries, Hamas pressured and threatened reporters, preventing them from giving viewers and readers an, "objective picture from the ground."

And here's another journalist who is speaking out:

Reporter: Gazans only want us to show damage, not shooting | JPost | Israel News

And in all fairness, he did claim an incident from the IDF; but I would take having my sdcard taken away over being threatened with being shot in the head anyday. . .
