WTV scope in Gaza conflicts growing this week, my mind returns to the banks of Suez Canal to October 1973. I flizing the surrender of the whole third Egyptian army with a team from the BBC, with no significant censorship or obstacle. The commander of Israel, Gen Avraham Adam, stopped anything he did to give us an update.

Censorship? Yes, the report was censored by Israeli defense forces (IDF) back to the satellite feed point in Herzliya. But censorship is limited only to things that have surgical security. It clearly helps journalists, but also the Israelites themselves. They have an independent verification, with a video to return it, in their unique success in returning their first lapse of Sinai. And they can show, through the scenes of a biblical reservation, that the surrender of the Egyptians was conducted and agreed with Geneva Conventions, the laws of war. As the great pillars of the third army rides in a hole in the sand, they have forgiven their weapons for water bottles that are generous.
Does it always go easy? Of course not. On another occasion, I got up early and reached a road block ahead Gaza Just return, as all plos are the sun, in the orders of the southern command.
But that’s amazing. IDF operates a policy on relatively open access based on one’s welfare. Sometimes it can stop all of the buses, away from satisfaction. But it always gives main TV networks with an escort official, armed and uniform, to keep the scope. One of my escorts to Yom kippur war is Topol, the actor from the fiddler on the roof. He was something that was a hero of Israel, and all the paths of the road were opened to him.
On another occasion I will go to Golan Heights, in conjunction with sequence documents, if the famous conductor and Israeli Simpaterilizer Zubin Mehta asks for a lift. To my lasting regret I turned him down on the grounds that I had a press pass and he did not – I thought this may harm my chances of being allowed in.
None of the IDF run no limit to us. We can shut down our likes and free interviewing soldiers in all rankings. In the canals of Golan Heights, due to language difficulties, other ranks with immigrants in South Africa.
I am also free to make mistakes. In 1968, the year after Six-day warI returned to Israel and interviewed the staff’s chief, Gen Haim Bar-Lev, who was busy to build the defensive line carrying his name. I traveled to Jerusalem and stopped a roadblock outside the biblical village of Emmaus. It stands at the center of Latrun Salient, an outpost of Jordan in the last war in 1948. The Israelites were busy breaking this brick by brick. I was not allowed to film it and could only report it by leaving the country, not returning. Usually such compromise, but I am sorry for one. The village lost, replaced by a Canadian presidential parties.
I also allowed, after 1967, to visit and stay in Gaza, and show daily reprisals with the Palestinians who are responsible for previous attacks. The same applied to the destruction of homes in West Bank City of HILLAnd sowing landmins surrounding the churches of St. John the Baptist in the Jordan Valley. It’s all in the IDF censorship without difficulty.
Fasting ahead today, and covering – or rather, the incompetent – in the conflict between the Israeli and Hamas of Gaza. Sibys often start Mantra that IDF does not allow foreign media access to Gaza Strip, and keep the most clear scope, shot at Brave freeles And other civilians posting social media from within Gaza, the scenes of death and expiration of the comment expressed in Jerusalem, Ashkelon or London. Usually, two printing and broadcast media express the numbers of the dead and injured in a reminder that it is given to Hamas-Run Health Ministry – Sometimes the only source is available.
My former companion jeremy Bowen said to Current Program On Wednesday: “We did not begin with Israel because it was doing there … that they didn’t want us to see, if they didn’t allow free reporting.” I prefer to agree with him.
My sympathies with Bowen, Fergal Keane and others on BBC, especially if Donald Trump was flying around with no basis Bias accusations. BBC and other responsible news outlets have a hard line to knock down. I can’t say for America’s networks, but British channels all have very good reporters standing in the region, not exactly, sometimes in the upper ground looking at “hill in shame“What is missing is the first war experience, shared with the landscarer who is right to interpret what is happening. It gives free news to gossip and false.
What a howen and I know from our shared experience so there is not enough winning the weapon with no weapons that do not win the war with words and images. And IDF should see it disappear. It has historical history with foreign press flowings, but nothing like today’s annoyance. It makes itself worse, that it starts with diplomatic feelings.
I urge the following: that the foreign press, especially TV networks, continue to stand up to their land, and that the Israelites turn the rules allowed to access Gaza. It is not only limit propaganda flowers (on both sides, should be said) but maybe hold the frontline troops to the high standards of Suez in 1973.
The two sides are significant to rebuild the least degree of confidence used between them. Here’s an example. In the 1973 war, we gave satellite news on the day it took place. Our office is a seat under a palm near the feed point. In the 1967 war, the news filmed news was filled with ono buds. But he has to take our word for what movie shows.
The public has a more accurate account to return war events than the current period by Gaza’s battle fog. If access is denied, everything is lost. And, Israel, who includes you.
