saw journalists being shot at by the Israeli soldiers I don't want to beat this too much, but the journalists were told by the Israelis not to go into the combat zones or they would get shot at. In a situation like that, if you were a soldier, you would shoot first and ask questions later. Journalists were running around in the combat zone and acting like they were covering a football game, and expecting the same rules and courtesies. I am surprised that they were not killed. Same problem with the "Aid" workers who are screaming about the treatment they got or things they saw. When our special forces guys went into help the Kurds at the Turkish border after the Gulf War, they were treated with hatred and contempt by the "Aid" people there. These people come out of pacifist's BG's, and tend to hate all types of soldiers.
