Hi @mrconfino I’m shocked ANY journalist is defending the relentless killing of our colleagues in Gaza. By defending the IDF narrative you’re undermining the tireless work of @pressfreedom @RSF_inter who go to exhaustive lengths to verify and protect journalists

Worth mentioning that many of those killed aren’t journalists. Quite the contrary. It’s a slap in the face to compare someone who works for Hamas-run media to the thousands of journalists across the world who work tirelessly to report from war zones while keeping their journalistic integrity. If the guys “interviewing” the hostages during the sickening humiliation in Gaza are killed tomorrow they’ll automatically be included in the statistics of “journalists” killed during the war. It’s obscene, and any journalist with respect for themselves should speak out against this. It can’t be that hard; if you do media work for a terror group, you aren’t a journalist. It’s that simple. Gaza is the only place in the world where foreign journalists are willing to put themselves in the same category as propagandists from a terrorgroup. They wouldn’t apply the same standard to Al Qaeda, Taliban and Isis media people.
