Its not just apple product announcements now, war is live blogged too!

Damn Jews, they don't die silent anymore. The EU, France and Sweden should give Hamas better missiles so that they can kill Jews before they have the opportunity to blog. :cool:

The new face of war, and war based propaganda. We've been doing it for a while now, live reports from Iraq and Afghanistan during the invasions, it's only natural the IDF would pick up on it.

For a broader view:

Yeah it is "live" all right but not raw footage nothing but propaganda it looks so clean no messy bits.

This is raw 3 people die one friendly Afghan and two enemy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUmpl4JnDdA&feature=related

This raw as well Marines in Fallujah(language warning a dog also gets killed): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoEsN6mDLfs


Edit: Never mind the dog at the end does get away but it looks like the mk.19 shrapnel might have hit him I dont think they they noticed him anyway.

There has been live blogging from wars before. It was called "Radio".

A common misconception is that Orson Wells was the first one who did a live report from a war. :know:

The OP's link cannot be a displayed anymore - maybe the I'D'F realized it went a bit too far, or is it just censorship in Germany ?

[Oberon]

Probably those Mooslems again. :nope:

Or they got hacked. ;)
However, with the risk of a ground oiffgensiove rising, the Israelis may reconsider their approiach, becasue then it would get dirtier then until here.

Nice news coverage I noted. In past days, the Palstinians fired over a hunbdred missiles into Israeli areas, no matter where they flew, all good wishes for hopefully killing Israeli civilians were flying with them. Our quality media did not lose a word about that. But the moment the Israelis decided that now it was enough and they returned the greetings, media sprung to life and called it "Israeli escalation", and Netanjahu's "irresponsible election gamble". This after just some day that German SPD underlined the shared values and shared political strategies between Hamas and the SPB, and a German diplomat in Israel in a non-public meeting told representatives of the government that German solidarity with Israel will not be forever and will fade within the next 20 years, with young Germans being more eager to criticise and attack Israel, and Abbas being called a solid partner for peace (that'S the same Abbas demanding back the stateborders of pre-67 and full riught to overrun and outcrowd the Israeli citizens in Israel with Arabs being born long after the war of 73. - A statement by the Germans that the Israeli side cannot any different than to understand as a direct threat spoken out. An affront.

One week ago, German Greens have demanded to deny Israel any German support for maintaining a self-defence and deterrance capacity.

The double-talk of European governments towards Israel never fails to deliver good entertainment. And self-revelation. And they all call themselves friends of Israel, and never forget that they happen to know that Jewish person who lives on their floor and that always is so nice and kind. :haha: That's really the cream on top!

This is one thing i never understood, and what completely disturbed my (back then) young try to understand politics:

Nazis in Germany are right-wing. This may be debatable, some Americans say since they were national socialists blah and so on.
(Of course, the US doesn't see Europe as being run by goose-stepping Nazi storm troopers. They see Europe as being run by rioting, decapitating, women-stoning Muslim hordes, but i digress)

So if Nazis are right wing, communists are left wing - or so i thought.
Nazis killed jews. So the german left should support the jews just because of being anti-Nazi, especially after WW2 ?
(But then, communists in Russia under Stalin also killed millions of jews)

So how comes the german left is so 'subliminally' anti-jew ?
:hmm2:

Not true at all. We see Europe as being run by left-leaning Commie-Pinko-Liberal-Socialist types who just want a handout.

That'll teach you to presume to know what Americans think! :O: :rotfl2:

Of course I have nothing real to offer to this discussion. Sorry about that. :oops:
