    Some spies passing as journalists =/= all journalists are spies.

    The journalists Israel kills frequently are well away from military action and clearly dressed in UN Press armour.

      Got any source to show every journalist killed in Gaza was as you suggest?

        I didn’t say every journalist and I didn’t say only in Gaza. But let’s pick a fairly recent top 3:

        • Issam Abdallah was killed in Lebanon after two separate rocket strikes. He was with other journalists, well away from any military action.
        • Shireen Abu Akleh was assassinated while covering IDF raids in the West Bank. Initially Israel denied it was them, then later admitted it.
        • Jamal Koshegi was technically killed by Saudi Arabia, but Israeli hacking tool Pegasus was found to have been used on his wife’s and his lawyer’s as well as various close friends’ devices. Pegasus is a weapons grade hacking tool, as such every sale is authorised by Israel, and the NSO (the company that makes it) claims to have full oversight of the use of the tool.

        I’ll let you look up the names and find sources. I’ve already put far more effort into this conversation than you have.

          So no source at all but you took the time to somehow make out that Koshogi’s brutal murder was an Israeli thing? Look whatever you think of Israel they probably don’t have enough pull to dismember someone in a foreign embassy 😂

              Hah yes anyone who asks for a source or questions the Israel/Saudi Arabia collusion on Koshogi’s death must be Israeli psy ops!

              Though that’s probably what someone in Israeli psy ops would say right!? 😂

                You aren’t genuinely asking for sources, you’re trolling and playing games. Nothing about your position is genuine. The only question is what your motive is.

        I’d say the fact that the headline explains the journalist in question has a story to their name probably means they were a legit journalist, not a “spy”.

        It’s quite the jump to say ALL murdered journalists must be dressed correctly at all times, or else it’s fair to assume they were an enemy combatant. How many legit journalists do you think it’s okay to kill?

            Lol, someone doesn’t want to do your research for you means it isn’t true.

            You’re just being a sad troll.

              Ah yes, that classic trolling method, asking for a source.

              Super common request. You’ve made it yourself.

              Name calling just seems desperate bud.

                The source is the article we are all commenting on you absolute buffoon. If you click the link, a picture of the journalist in question wearing the press gear in question will be right there on your screen.

                Do you need me to click the link for you as well?
