As Malcolm Muggeridge used to enjoy saying – even when he was standing in front of one.

Never more so than in Gaza. If you’ve ever wondered why photographs of injured or dead Gazans – or old photos of dead Syrians posing as Gazans – litter Western media yet there are no images of Hamas firing rockets, it’s not because they are off somewhere teaching Sunday school: it’s because they shoot journalists who try to photograph them.

From here:

“I met today with a Spanish journalist who just came back from Gaza. We talked about the situation there. He was very friendly. I asked him how come we never see on television channels reporting from Gaza any Hamas people, no gunmen, no rocket launcher, no policemen. We only see civilians on these reports, mostly women and children.”

“He answered me frankly: ‘It’s very simple, we did see Hamas people there launching rockets, they were close to our hotel, but if ever we dared pointing our camera on them they would simply shoot at us and kill us.’”
