    They were warned repeatedly not to give Al Jazeera access to this footage, yet they refused. No army in the world wants live footage of their troops being broadcast - and especially not shared with a network that belongs to a hostile nation, one that directly supports Hamas and houses their leadership.

      Clearly you don’t understand what press freedom means. Israel’s actions are the enemy of the free world, not Associated Press or Al Jazeera.
