    So you think that when a propagandists from one terrorist state gets killed by another terrorist state, that it’s not ok? Because dude has a press badge?

    I understood their post just fine.

      Yes, I think that is not ok. Do you think it’s ok? To kill an unarmed video team using a guided bomb?
      Where do you get that moral code from? You’re surely not claiming to be religious or rational?

      By the way, most states are engaged in terrorism in one way or another. The US most certainly is a terrorist state. So you’re saying anyone should be able to bomb journalists from any country? Which countries are exempt?

        They stated that they were bombing that bridge. Mouthpiece went over to the area they knew Israel was targeting…this isn’t about moral code. If that was a bullshit Fox news “journalist” doing this to Iran would you cry foul?

        Any journalist worth their salt, isn’t going to areas that have been stated will be bombed. They don’t because they’re not idiots.

          Yes, I absolutely would. I don’t wish Fox news journalists dead, as disgraceful as they are. Though I doubt any of them would have the courage to report from a war zone.

          Any journalist worth their salt, isn’t going to areas that have been stated will be bombed. They don’t because they’re not idiots.

          That’s not how it works in the Geneva conventions, though. The reason it doesn’t work like that is because then any aggressor state can simply designate an area for bombing if they want to keep the press away from it, then they can commit any and all kinds of crimes against humanity there with zero civil oversight. Also, let’s say Mugabe had killed journalists in an area because he had warned he was going to attack there, we all would’ve cried foul. So that’s not the rule.
          The rule is really simple and clear: don’t target noncombatants.

          Edit: another thing, can you show me any evidence that this journalist knows the bridge was about to be bombed? I find that incredibly difficult to believe, so I can’t just take that on faith sorry.

            That’s impressive, considering that war doesn’t work that way.

            Not how that works at all. A journalist is a civilian, targeted attacks on civilians is against the convention, not attacks on infrastructure (unless it’s a hospital or school), bridges are %100 allowed to be attacked. Even the USA let’s civilians know they’re going to be doing massive bombings usually as a courtesy to the country they’re attacking.(Dunno if they still do since the orange turnip took power though).

            Also, let’s say Mugabe had killed journalists in an area because he had warned he was going to attack there, we all would’ve cried foul. So that’s not the rule.

            They didn’t target non-combatants they targeted a bridge. This is the same shit a lot of insane dictators do, stuff a bunch of military shit in heavily populated civilian areas, then cry foul when civilians get killed. What you’re doing is saying, if you strap civilians to your planes then they’re no longer weapons or infrastructure of war. You don’t get to bend the rules and cry foul.

            Israel does this a lot, they also do roof knocking. This in no way defends the terrorist state of Israel. It’s just pointing out facts.

            Also in this thread people have already called out that the munitions used are not shrapnel bombs like this journalist suggested, it’s a standard high yield explosive designed to destroy infrastructure, not kill people. If it was a shrapnel bomb it would have gone off above the ground, just like the HIMARs rounds that Ukraine uses to inflicte mass casualties to russian forces when they’re all clumped together.
