After some 20 people were killed in an Israeli strike on a hospital in Gaza Monday, media zeroed in on their new favourite narrative, implying that because journalists were among the dead, they were targeted. Indeed, the headline carried by the Globe and Mail above a Reuters wire story read as if killing journalists was the point of the strike: “Multiple journalists killed by Israeli strikes on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital.” It wasn’t until several paragraphs into the story that it was reported that “Israeli troops fired two artillery shells at the hospital, targeting what they suspected was a Hamas surveillance camera on the roof.” […]
In fact, nearly half of the 197 journalists — listed by the Committee to Protect Journalists — killed in Gaza and Lebanon since the October 7 attack, “worked for media owned by or affiliated with terrorist organizations,” according to analysis by American journalist James Kirchuk. These include “journalists” who worked for the Hamas-affiliated Al-Aqsa TV, the Islamic Jihad-run Al-Quds Al-Youm and the Hezbollah-owned Al-Manar.
Considering those who are doing terrorist propaganda as “journalists” allows Israel’s media critics in the West to inflate the numbers of reporters killed and self-righteously claim, with little proof, that Israel is attacking freedom of the press. It also lets them feel like they have a right to be even more aggrieved against Israel, because Israel is killing people “just like me.”
Well, they’re not wrong.
Yup. Stop using schools for arms storage. Stop using ambulances as troop transports.
If you want nice things then stop trying to break your neighbours (let alone their nice things).
Even those who aren’t jihadis themselves lie down with the dogs and then are puzzled, wondering where the fleas came from.
It’s funny when urinalists get all pissy…
The remaining half of journalists are approved by Hamas for spreading their propaganda, much in the same way that CNN lied in order to get access to Saddam.
Will just a postal code do?
It should be about a week when we start hearing about the munitions being handled by militants detonated by accident causing the deaths of the so-called “journalists” at the hospital … er close proximity to the hospital.
Hey FILTHY LIBERALS, It’s a good start, but why are so many Poor Little “Journalists” hanging around a Hospital?.
This is me caring…..
WE DON’T CARE. KILL THEM ALL, LET GOD SORT THEM OUT!.
Bomb them until ALL Hostages are freed from the inbred Jihadi Scum muslims.
No Quarter for FILTHY ISLAM OR FILTHY LIBERALS
Enquiring minds would like Bibi to perhaps clarify what percentage of dead people are required in Palestine for them to determine the Hamas terror group negated, especially since Israel claims they are so hard to distinguish from “regular” civilians.
Please tell me WHERE exactly this “Palestine” you speak of is located? Please give me the boundaries, so I can understand where these people might be located.
Then, take away their licenses.

(Funny article, explains that now he can.)
Anyhew, the mortality of “activist” journalists is of no matter when they are active terrorists. The numbers are surprising as they reveal the perspective of their “news” organizations and their governing bodies. Given all the corrupted news sources it is no wonder that the sentiments of Hamas are the sentiments of the Palestinian people; or at least ABC, NBC, NPR, AP, would like you to believe so. Because….
yes, far too many.
Question: How come the Israelis are always attacking the schools and hospitals and never the military bases?
Answer: Those are the military bases.
well, all l wanna know did they blow up the cameras?
the whole point of the exercise and the urinalists missed it.
(betcha the shells didnt miss heh heh)
If reporters just gave us facts, I’m good with lots of ‘em. If they get sneaky and use words or omissions to slant the story, not so good. Then they are opinionated journalists.
