The number of journalists killed by Israel in Gaza in two years exceeds the number of journalists killed in both World Wars I and II, the Vietnam War, Afghanistan, and Yugoslavia combined. It is the largest toll in the history of modern warfare.

You answered your own question right before asking it. Why does Israel kill journalists? Because they only publish news and facts.

They are really criminals and they accuse others of terrorism, but they are the real terrorists. Not those

How is killing journalists not a war crime? It should be if it isn’t.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

It’s a war crime, but you know how much Israel cares about that.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 11 points 3 months ago

Sure wish war crimes were actually enforced and prosecuted. Sure seems fucking stupid now as an adult.

Eh, on the flipside a pretty good way to find a CIA agent in your nation nowadays is to start heavily looking at the US based journalists in your nation. Remember that journalist that the Saudis chopped up? He was very likely on the CIA's payroll.

Also if you really want to get down into it historically speaking, warcrimes are generally only enforced and prosecuted by the winners of a war, if they have the geopolitical power and desire to do so that is. So realistically the rules of warfare end up a lot closer to a honor system than what people want to admit.

When you know what youre doing is wrong you try to hide it.

Palestinian journalists cant be bribed to spread lies about whats happening in Gaza so Israel's only solution is to kill them.

And while this is awful, all it does is make Israel look worse and inspire more Palestinians to document the war crimes committed against them

They are criminals who only know the language of death. They consider people who are not with them as deserving of death. They only know blood and terrorism. This is Zionism.

[-] Blockocheese@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

Zionism is inherently genocidal but also will be defeated just like apartheid rat-salute-2

[-] mahmoud@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

Yes they will be defeated indeed, their day will come
