Palestinian photojournalist Yaser Murtaja covered plenty of funeral processions during the 2014 war in Gaza.

Now his colleagues are covering his death.

They encircled his body, holding their cameras high, as he was carried out of Gaza's main hospital on Saturday. They marched through the streets on their way to funeral prayers at the territory's central mosque. Draped across his body was a Palestinian flag and a blue reporter's flak vest.

Just one day before, Murtaja, 30, was at the Gaza-Israel border with his camera, covering demonstrations of some of the bloodiest violence Gaza has seen since the 2014 war between Israel and Hamas, the militant group that controls the Palestinian territory.

Over more than a week, tens of thousands of Palestinians gathered near Israel's fortified border fence with the stated aim of demanding to return to lands their families lost in the 1948 war that led to Israel's founding. But Israel accused Hamas of fomenting violence under the guise of a civil protest.

Many demonstrators stayed far back from the border fence, picnicking in the barley fields and holding a tent camp sit-in, but some young Palestinians burned tires and threw rocks toward the fence. Israel said there were also attempts to lob rudimentary explosives and damage or penetrate the border fence, as well as a pair of militants who shot at soldiers.

You Know who paid for that wall, right?


And we paid for one that stretches for hundreds of miles between Jordan and Syria. it works great. Even has seismic shit for detecting footsteps, Aliens Style. Happened under Obama with hundreds of millions of US Dollars.

Time for our own Wall.

Yeah, I'm doubtful of the WMD attacks.

Just remove Assad, but please don't insult my intelligence with the shaving cream on the mouth this time (last time the fakers forgot the mouth foam and protective wear for the first responders). Or tell me that the Wahabi group over there, forget the name, is the Islamic Red Cross when they're more like ISM in Gaza, the White Blazers or whatever, isn't a fake concern group made up of Jihadi symps for propaganda purposes.

Getting really suspicious of all this doorknob crap, too. Just make the case without that shit.

Many many more people are brutally murdered 365 days a year in various ongoing conflicts in the world but the lamestream/deepstate/globalist-left/neocon media wants citizens to believe that removing Assad in a potentially costly war that can easily spiral out of control (Russia, China) followed by the conversion of Syria to a terrorist haven is top priority. I really hope Trump does something strategic to solve this and does not let them pull him into a war. No wonder nobody believes the lamestream media anymore. Next on CNNMSNBC: a report of Muslims "oppressed" by Buddhists "rage" in Myanmar.

AP news reports the source as the White Helmets, funded by billionaire "Achmed Chalabi" types of Syria. So yeah, total propaganda.

This is a relief organization that admits it's members participated in executions. I can't remember the Red Cross or Doctors without Borders ever having to discipline a worker for helping Jihadist Wahabi Groups execute people.

Another hilarious propaganda piece:
https://theconversation.com/who-are-syrias-white-helmets-and-why-are-they-so-controversial-66580

It includes the assertion that the USA "has been in a misconceived “War on Terror” against al-Qaeda for a decade and a half". So you know it's pure BS. Al Qaeda isn't so bad now, don't you know? They only did 9/11 and took credit for it.

And then all professional, well-funded Documentaries start lauding the organization and snap up all kinds of prizes instantly. Yet nobody really knows much about the organization itself, other than it's drowning in Wahabi, Globalist Billionaire, and US AID money.

Just one of many videos showing White Helmets holding up one finger in the Islamist Salute, and joining in Jihadi Chants with ISIS.

You ever see Doctors without Borders acting so Partisan?
