CNN reporter calls cheering Israelis "scum"

cnn got something right? of course, forced to erase the comments almost immediatly:

"CNN reporter calls Israelis who gathered to watch bombardment of Gaza 'scum' after she was threatened by them as she reported

• CNN's British reporter Diana Magnay became infuriated by the attitude of Israeli's watching invasion of Gaza
• Tweeted that the cheering crowd threatened her as she broadcast a negative report

By James Nye

CNN's International correspondent Diana Magnay labeled a group of Israeli's who were cheering missiles striking Palestininan positions on Thursday night in Gaza 'scum'.

Magnay took to Twitter to express her fury after the group of whooping Israeli's watching from the hills above Sderot 'threatened to destroy' her team's car if the British reporter used negative language.

Almost as soon as she posted the controversial comment Magnay deleted it as she continued to provide dispatches for CNN through the night on Israel's land invasion of Gaza which followed ten days of brutal airstrikes.

Deleted: This tweet from Magnay was quickly deleted from her account - clearly expressing her outrage at the reaction of Israeli bystanders watching the attack on Gaza

Earlier, during her live report, the braying Israeli's on the hill could be heard and Magnay described the scene from the border overlooking Gaza. 'It is an astonishing, macabre and awful thing to watch this display of fire in the air.'

This comes as Hamas vowed that Israel will 'pay a high price' for their 'foolish' actions after their military began a ground invasion of Gaza on Thursday evening.

Thousands of troops from the Israel Defense Force backed by tanks launched amphibious, air and ground incursions into the narrow Gaza strip after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military action in a bid to stop rockets being fired from Gaza.

The assault, which began at 10pm local time, followed a heavy barrage of rockets fired at Tel Aviv by Hamas militants from Gaza who have promised 'dreadful consequences' for Israel in the aftermath of the invasion."
