“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don't protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. ... We lose our lives for no reason.”

This is heartbreaking, I don’t know what else to say. The justification that these casualties are acceptable because “Hamas is there too” is just nonsense. If that’s the case why won’t Israel let civilians cross the border into Israel to prevent their murder?

That would humanize those whom they oppress.

I doubt Hamas was at this reporter's house, which was singled out by Israel for an airstrike, which they then pretended to know nothing about.

You’re probably right, I’m just trying to get ahead of their typical excuse for collateral damage

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 28 points 11 months ago

It's not even collateral damage is it? It's the damage they intend to inflict, killing journalists who dare to show the world what Israel is doing.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Not just journalists, kill the journalist AND his entire family by waiting until he gets home and then bombing his house.

Hamas look like angels compared to israel

Hamas look like angels compared to Israel.

Idk if I'd go that far. Hamas is at least honest about it, though. They don't try to hide the fact that they want every Jew dead. Israel will continue to genocide Palestinians while denying that the whole time.
