“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don’t protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. … We lose our lives for no reason.”

    You’re probably right, I’m just trying to get ahead of their typical excuse for collateral damage

      It’s not even collateral damage is it? It’s the damage they intend to inflict, killing journalists who dare to show the world what Israel is doing.

        Not just journalists, kill the journalist AND his entire family by waiting until he gets home and then bombing his house.

          Hamas look like angels compared to Israel.

          Idk if I’d go that far. Hamas is at least honest about it, though. They don’t try to hide the fact that they want every Jew dead. Israel will continue to genocide Palestinians while denying that the whole time.

            Completely false. They want the colony of israel gone and their land back. They are not interested in ethnic cleansing like israel.

            There are videos of Hamas members that invaded israel and DIDNT kill people on purpose. Many such accounts. https://youtu.be/rD7NI0tGbp8?si=uXg5km2BGCXkGosQ

            Of course there are outliers of people that just want to murder, but the Hamas policy is not the murder of every colonist.

            Now let’s not glorify Hamas too much and pretend they’re super nice people. They are a violent militant faction. But just like the Taliban, Hamas just want occupiers off their land. They’re not interested in going to America to kill all the non believers or any of that stupid stuff.

              'The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and

              kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the

              rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind

              me, come and kill him.’ (Article 7)

              'The enemies have been scheming for a long time … and have

              accumulated huge and influential material wealth. With their money,

              they took control of the world media… With their money they stirred

              revolutions in various parts of the globe… They stood behind the

              French Revolution, the Communist Revolution and most of the

              revolutions we hear about… With their money they formed secret

              organizations - such as the Freemasons, Rotary Clubs and the Lions -

              which are spreading around the world, in order to destroy societies

              and carry out Zionist interests… They stood behind World War I …

              and formed the League of Nations through which they could rule the

              world. They were behind World War II, through which they made huge

              financial gains… There is no war going on anywhere without them

              having their finger in it.’ (Article 22)

              'Zionism scheming has no end, and after Palestine, they will covet

              expansion from the Nile to the Euphrates River. When they have

              finished digesting the area on which they have laid their hand, they

              will look forward to more expansion. Their scheme has been laid out

              in the ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’.’ (Article 32)

          I agree with the first part, not so much with the second. They’re both pretty nasty.
