    Glad Reuters is still fighting for justice. Israel will weasel out of this, but it should at least somewhat dissaude them behind the scenes.

        I already have people telling me that he was actually Hamas.

        It’s hilarious because it would be Hezbollah not Hamas

            Your problem seems to be with Israel, not Jewish people. It’s an important distinction when the far right leadership in Israel has done everything in it’s power to convince the world that Judaism = Israel when that’s not true and Judaism isn’t a monolith.

            So, there’s never been anyone in a group you’re in that’s done something you disagree with?

    But this can’t be true. Israel is a shining beacon of innocence in all this, they haven’t fired a single shot in this whole war, according to what the U.S. government wants us to believe. Oh my no, somehow all those Palestinian kids got their brains splattered all over the pavement because of errant “Hamas missiles.” Oh yeah israelites are just wonderful folks who certainly have never raised a finger in violence to anybody, ever.

      By their own count, 40% of the murdered were civilians.

      They were proud of that figure

        Defense has always been a lie to placate dumbasses.

        It’s always been about revenge. Sad how we don’t use that word anymore, despite how applicable it may be.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Israeli tank shells fired in quick succession killed a Reuters journalist and injured six others as they filmed in Lebanon on 13 October, investigations by their employers have found.

    Evidence presented in the reports included expert analysis of munitions fragments, satellite images, the accounts of survivors and video recordings filmed by the group and other journalists before and during the attack.

    “The evidence we now have, and have published today, shows that an Israeli tank crew killed our colleague Issam Abdallah,” the Reuters editor-in-chief, Alessandra Galloni, said.

    We call on Israel to explain how this could have happened and to hold to account those responsible for his death and the wounding of Christina Assi of the AFP, our colleagues Thaier Al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh, and the three other journalists.”

    Ramzi Kaiss, Lebanon researcher at Human Rights Watch, said Israeli forces must respect international humanitarian law that protects journalists.

    A spokesperson told Reuters: “We don’t target journalists.” After the attack Israel’s UN envoy, Gilad Erdan, said: “Obviously, we would never want to hit or kill or shoot any journalist that is doing its job.


    The original article contains 800 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 77%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      Explain that they are targeting journalists? We know this. The US needs to revoke our arms deal. They are just ysing it for war crimes. I get fighting HAMAS who look like civilians is hard, but this is blatant.
