Israel has murdered more journalists in Gaza than in the whole of WWII
Journalists in Lebanon have begun wearing their blood group on their protective press vests, because they know they will be targeted by Israel.
The occupation regime has already killed more than two hundred journalists in Gaza and several in Lebanon, in complete contempt of international law and the Geneva Conventions. Now journalists in Lebanon, which unlike Gaza has not been cut off from the outside world and still has functioning hospitals, have taken the extraordinary step to improve their chances of survival, as a televised report by one of them on Al Jazeera:
Israel’s military has been killing and maiming journalists in Lebanon since well before its invasion, including shelling western journalists as they reported from a peaceful hillside as its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza got underway:
The Israeli regime has also put out a kill-list of the last remaining journalists in northern Gaza as it tries to stem the flow of information about its war crimes – and frequently targets their families at the same time – and routinely murders first responders in both countries as they try to save the victims of its bombing and shelling, with more than 170 killed in Lebanon since the invasion just over a month ago.
UK PM Keir Starmer has so far failed to condemn Israel’s targeting of journalists and emergency workers in Gaza and Lebanon, yet claimed last week that he is a protector of journalists worldwide.

Hopefully, there will be the same determination to hunt down those who commit warcrimes as there was to hunt down nazis after WWII.??? Seems only right…
In 1979, the United States Attorney General established the Office of Special Investigations (OSI) in the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. Its sole mission was to detect, investigate and bring legal action against persons in the United States who, between 1933 and 1945, participated in Nazi-sponsored persecution on the basis of race, religion, national origin, or political belief.
