    Where’s the proof that the journalists were actually the target? If you’re running around a battlefield with a camera and calling yourself a journalist, which anyone can do, it’s kinda on you if you get blown up. It’s not like a battlefield is a safe place to be hanging around in

      “Witness accounts and video and photo evidence that Human Rights Watch verified indicate that the journalists were well removed from ongoing hostilities, clearly identifiable as members of the media, and had been stationary for at least 75 minutes before they were hit by two consecutive strikes. Human Rights Watch found no evidence of a military target near the journalists’ location.”

      Where’s your sense of decency? I’m just kidding. It’s obvious you don’t have one.

        Not blinded by propaganda, likely.

      Theres a very easy way to sort out the issue of bias that’s gonna be inherent in journalists reporting an alleged bias against journalists…

      (From NPR)

      Over a month into the war in the Gaza Strip, international news organizations have little, if any, access to Gaza. Israel, which is bombing Gaza in response to the deadly Hamas attack on its soil, controls access. And with the exception of brief tours with a limited number of reporters, Israel has not been granting journalists access to the region.

      Address that and the answers will come…

          If they allow international journalists access to the area, we’ll either get better information about what’s happening, or the numbers will go down…

      No shit, a journalist goes into the densest urban fighting of our time and gets killed, goddammed shocking. Especially one’s seeking to interview the terrorists who must be eliminated.
