Those that target journalists are declaring war on the truth itself
Here and Here for sources that back up the claims made in this tweet. Additional source for backing up the number of journalists killed in the Vietnam war
Considering how many of my family members died in the Holocaust, this heavily sarcastic statement might be in really poor taste:
Influencing foreign news, one could see silencing journalists as a form of public relations management
Nuh uh! Israel would never do that cuz that's what Hitler did. Hitler's the one who declared war on the media! Being victims of attempted genocide ourselves, the Jews could never perpetrate such hard-learned lessons on anyone else, right?! Right...?
Christian ethics and the notion of suffering as a purifying and cleansing event. Science tells us tho, that people who are hurt are more likely to hurt others. There's no reason for it to be different with societies and communities.
Am not sure what people expect. Thousands are dead and statistically speaking some of them were journalists. There were also farmers, fishermen, doctors, asshats and all kinds of other vocations. Not sure why journalist would be worse than any of the others. Also, by same logic this claim of WW2 having on 69 journalists killed is complete and utter bullshit. Millions of people died, probability is there were more than 69 journalists in entire Europe and China.
