Uh no Israel are the good guys. They told me so.

[-] STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 77 points 1 year ago

Yes. And those journalists were probably out to make Israel look bad by using facts.

If you kill everybody who says you're doing bad things, are you really doing bad things anymore?

Influencing foreign news, one could see silencing journalists as a form of public relations management

Considering how many of my family members died in the Holocaust, this heavily sarcastic statement might be in really poor taste:

Influencing foreign news, one could see silencing journalists as a form of public relations management

Nuh uh! Israel would never do that cuz that's what Hitler did. Hitler's the one who declared war on the media! Being victims of attempted genocide ourselves, the Jews could never perpetrate such hard-learned lessons on anyone else, right?! Right...?

I honestly don't know how to interpret your comment. I'm sorry you lost people to the Holocaust.

Christian ethics and the notion of suffering as a purifying and cleansing event. Science tells us tho, that people who are hurt are more likely to hurt others. There's no reason for it to be different with societies and communities.

[-] MeanEYE@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Am not sure what people expect. Thousands are dead and statistically speaking some of them were journalists. There were also farmers, fishermen, doctors, asshats and all kinds of other vocations. Not sure why journalist would be worse than any of the others. Also, by same logic this claim of WW2 having on 69 journalists killed is complete and utter bullshit. Millions of people died, probability is there were more than 69 journalists in entire Europe and China.
