It's OK to kill journalists

[Roy Bloom]

We know about the murders on October 7 by Hamas of people bwho didn't put themselves in harms way.

Nearly 400 of them were military.
Civlians that take up arms are also fair targets.
Israel has a policy of distributing free arms to israeli civilians.

Iran Have a tendency of killing women just for putting makeup on or not covering their heads. I would imagine Iran have also knocked off the odd journalist as Russia have done so along with anyone who opposes Putin.

That is no excuse for genocide of Palestinians.
It's pure whataboutery.

A few British journalists have been killed in action and as brave as I believe them to be they know the risks of reporting in war zones.

More whataboutery.

No point trying to put the common sense side of the situation, to JohnD.

Not from a bigoted myopic view, no, I agree.

It was her failure to condemn harassment and hate towards Jewish people.

She did several times. You either ignored it, or couldn't hear it over the "yes or no" interruptions, or you're intentionally telling lies.
I know where my money lies.
You have a history of perverting the content of articles.
Look over there at the helicoptors.

including at that hospital, in order to use them as human shields,

The available evidence proves otherwise.

As of January 3, 2024, CPJ’s preliminary investigations showed at least 77 journalists and media workers were among the more than 22,000 killed since the war began on October 7—with more than 21,000 Palestinian deaths in Gaza and the West Bank and 1,200 deaths in Israel.

From The Jerusalem Post. so it must be true.

The Jerusalem Post is a broadsheet newspaper based in Jerusalem, founded in 1932 during the British Mandate of Palestine
it underwent a noticeable shift to the political right in the late 1980s.
The paper professes to be in the Israeli political center,[13] yet is considered to be on the political right

Risk vs reward. Most Arab nations want to enjoy a normalisation of relations with Israel, open up trade, create jobs. Most Arab nations aren't queuing up to engage with the mad mullahs in Iran.

Untill Israel starts committing genocide of Arabs.

 

[Roy Bloom]

The right side of good!

You've mispelt genocidal.

 

[Roy Bloom]

Is Israel always right and the Palestinians always wrong in your opinion?

It's starting to look that way.

I think you've convinced us what you think.

Under international law, journalists don’t constitute a separate, protected class from civilians overall. However, just as it is illegal to intentionally target civilians or launch an attack that does not distinguish between military targets and civilians, it is also illegal to intentionally target journalists. Media cannot be considered military targets even when they are being employed for propaganda purposes unless they make an “effective contribution to military action” or they “incite war crimes, genocide or acts of violence,” according to the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Nevertheless, independent investigations have concluded that Israel has intentionally targeted journalists on multiple occasions.

Israel’s incendiary rhetoric about journalists and its attacks on journalists aren’t new developments, Weimers said. Before the latest Gaza war broke out, Israel had killed more than a dozen Palestinian and foreign media professionals since 2001, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Even Israeli reporters have been impacted by Israel’s broader crackdown on wartime dissent. For instance, Israeli reporter Israel Frey’s home was surrounded by a far-right mob after he held a vigil for Israeli and Palestinian victims of the war, forcing him and his family to go into hiding. Karhi has also threatened the Israeli newspaper Haaretz with financial penalties and canceling state subscriptions to the paper, claiming that it has printed “lying, defeatist propaganda” that is “sabotaging Israel in wartime.”

For Israel, which is increasingly losing the international war of public opinion, all of this is a means of undermining independent reporting that could further damage its image abroad. “It’s creating an environment that allows propaganda and fake news to thrive,” Weimers said.

The solution isn't out there as long as there are Iranian funded terror groups.

One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

Do you remember when Iran was sending scuds into Israel.

The US had to calm the situation as Israel would have tonnked Iran, and then it really would have went off.

Dick, private and public.
That wasn't Iran.

Israel defends

Israel provokes and has been doing so since 1948.

Gaza was created by Israel in 1948, as a refugee camp to contain Palestinians displaced in the Nakba.
