Day by day we are seeing more insidious activity by those deployed in action by various state agencies.
We also hear every day just how good a job is being done clearing and killing 'insurgents' and "dissidents" around the world.
What is an insurgent? Chambers Dictionary states thus: "a person who rises in opposition to established authority; a rebel".
And of dissident: "especially one who disagrees with the aims and procedures of the government".
Hitler's nazi regime once was 'established authority'. Do we likewise condemn those who fought against the nazi atrocities from within their midst?
The perpetrators of such insidious activity as your article highlight are the real enemies of society.

Johnston's Colleagues
The video of the shooting is doing the rounds on youtube and similar, should you want to subject yourself to it.
I also looked at the video on Youtube.
It does indeed show that he was part of a crowd
of people who you see running from gunfire, and that one of the crowd is
carrying what seems to be a machine gun.
He certainly wasn't wearing any
yellow jacket to indicate he was a journalist.
It also shows that he was
shot whilst he lay on the ground but if armed could still have been a danger .
If the men in the crowd were firing on the Israeli unit, then one can
certainly understand why they could have assumed that the man carrying a
black, shoulder-borne device may have been armed and doing the shooting.
Not so clear why he was shot after he fell, unless the rules of engagement are
to finish off an armed attacker rather than let him get up and shoot again .
So objectively it is not all cut and dried .
"A Palestinian kills an Israeli and it's terrorism." - I agree. Absolute hypocrisy. But some of those who now cheer-lead Hamas (such as Johnston) were equally hypocrital when it came to the conflict up the road. See the link to the article below.
Both comments printed by you before me indicate someone called 'Fred'(?) and someone then later called 'Johnston' and make comments, but there are no articles by these names on this link. Why? Where can I read them? If the comment isn't there, then the two comments above are nonsense. Has he written articles on political things before now?
