I'd say you are being very liberal in your judgement of the intent of the people that fired upon the photographer.

By the way...
I believe you are wrong. There might have been hundreds of chances to handle things in a different way.
To use the term 'Forced' isn't completely correct. Israel's history has it's ugly past and present conduct of it's conflict in that region.
*I miss these warm and cozy moments between us, HR. I do not believe I have to ask if you've missed me.
** One last edit...
Just to be crystal clear... I'm not completely against an Israeli State - I 'am' against bad Israeli war policy. There has been more than enough of that.

I'd say you have never had to sit in a tank, in a warzone and fear for your life. I'd also say you could liberally assume that if the soldiers wanted to kill civilians they'd shot a school or a restaurant rather than a photographer.
I'd also say it's a lot easier to judge the intent of Palestinians massacring Jewish kids in their school but for all your good intentions you don't bother sharing your liberal analysis with us on those occasions.
