Israel Admits It Bombed A Hospital To Kill A Journalist For Doing Journalism
The IDF has admitted to bombing a hospital in order to assassinate a prominent Palestinian journalist in Gaza, explicitly stating that they assassinated him for engaging in journalistic activities.
The official Israel Defense Forces account made the following post on Twitter (emphasis added):
Don’t let Aslih’s press vest fool you: Hassan Abdel Fattah Mohammed Aslih, a terrorist from the Hamas Khan Yunis brigade, was eliminated along with other terrorists in the ‘Nasser’ hospital in Khan Yunis. Aslih participated in the brutal October 7 massacre under the guise of a journalist and owner of a news network. During the massacre, he documented acts of murder, looting, and arson, posting the footage online. Journalist? More like terrorist.”
Documenting newsworthy acts and posting the footage online is also known as journalism. It’s the thing that journalism is.
Nice name btw, I'm Lebanese so quite likely more biased than most against Israel. But I cannot for the life of me understand the worlds outrage at Russia in Ukraine while the events in Gaza over decades has been so much worse. As an Arab raised in the west, this hypocricy and double standards has always pissed me off. If they're white christians then they must be defended at all costs it seems. (I understand this is a gross over simplification and the Russian agression could possibly threaten Europe). But to the manority of people of colour in the world see it this way. Just look at the latest bullshit from Trump bringing white afrikaaners to the US citing genocide. it's insanity.
You're partially correct but they do not care about Ukraine either. Ukraine is not being defended it's being used and extorted.
Europe and America refused to send Ukraine actual weapons at the start of the war because of "fears that Putin could see it as an escalation". This all but confirmed: Ukraine could not win no matter what.
They wanted to throw as many Ukrainian men as possible into the meat grinder to weaken Russia and get Ukraine into debt. All of that military "aid" suddenly turns out to be a loan. Now that Ukraine is too far into the sunk cost fallacy they start openly blackmailing Ukraine for control over its natural resources.
Please don't dump Europe and the US together in this context. Neither of them has done as much as it should, I agree with you, but Europe has not turned any of its military aid into loans and it's not extorting Ukraine for its natural resources now. That's only the US and it's completely despicable.
I will accept that, as in fairness I haven't delved into that conflict deeply, on the surface it seems like the whole NATO push was to incite Russia in the first place, but again, I'm not too well versed in this. As for the blackmailing, that became pretty obvious when Trump took power but I'm unsure if that was the case before. Thanks for the info.
Both Ukraine and Israel are puppets of USA, which controls much of world's media so naturally you would have outrage fueled and consent manufactured for both.
True, although the line of puppetry is a little blurred between the US and Israel. While ultimately they rely heavily on the annual military aid, their influence in US politics is immense.
You claim the US puppets Israel, but why would the US care about gaza to the point of making Israel do this evil stuff? Why would the US pay 80 years of horrific costs and complications over this particular middle eastern people? Why can we still criticise the US government, but criticisizing Israel or zionists is being criminalized?
Israel is the puppeteer over the US. The US government let money buy politics and it got thoroughly bought. Both US political parties are for sale. the Us doesnt give two shites about building an Israel and never has. Anyone who tells you that Israel is a US puppet would seem to me to be just a lying zionist trying to pawn off ownership of their filthy warcrimes.
It's not a gross oversimplification. If Russian aggression had really been that important there would have been a stronger reaction back in 2014, but back then our military industrial complex was already churning out profits for a different foreign engagement. -An engagement also against brown people.
Ukraine was different because the west had an arrangement for defense with them while US still had a semi functional government. Don't be misled the western population is plenty outraged at what's going on in Gaza our government are the ones failing.
Believe me I know how the western population view Gaza, unfortunately they are unable to bring change about, when I mention the west etc, I am talking about the governments. Much like the millions that protested around the world prior the second Gulf war that ousted Saddam, the people were against it, but it went ahead anyway. I'm very happy with the recent comments by the Spanish premier calling Israel a genocidal state, but as long as the US veto remains, and European guilt (specifically Germany) means that Israel will seemingly have immunity no matter how many atrocities they commit.
