It Would be Nice if Israel Would Stop Killing Journalists
Apparently, Israel lacks a gene for freedom of speech.
One of the side stories that isn’t getting much press is this: Israel has an appetite for killing journalists. A trend has come to light since the start of the war in Israel and Palestine. National Public Radio which is what I like to call, “resentment radio”, ran a story about how 24 journalists were killed during the war in Palestine back on October 28th:
“Of the two dozen journalists who have died, 20 were Palestinian, three were Israeli and one was Lebanese. At least eight other journalists have been reported injured, while three others are believed missing or detained, according to the CPJ.”
Notice the heavy bias against Palestinian reporters. 80% of the journalists killed in the war were Palestinian from the start to October 28th. I guess the Israelis have “no comment” on that bias. A month later, the states are even worse, From the Committee to Protect Journalists, 11/28/23:
As of November 28:
57 journalists and media workers were confirmed dead: 50 Palestinian, 4 Israeli, and 3 Lebanese.
11 journalists were reported injured.
3 journalists were reported missing.
19 journalists were reported arrested.
Multiple assaults, threats, cyberattacks…
