Israel is murdering Palestinian journalists in Gaza. Where is the outrage?
Israel is murdering Palestinian journalists in Gaza. Where is the outrage?
The pattern of killing cannot be denied, says former Guardian Jerusalem correspondent Chris McGreal
And yet the World ‘leaders’ (Presidents) don’t do anything but smile, stare and nod. Like puppets.
The normal civilians (the folk) are outraged, many want ceasefire. But the most problematic thing is, we cannot do that ourselves.
All we can do is keep protesting and boycotting.
Israel has proven to be the new Nazi-Germany. They tick on all boxes.
ETA: You can downvote however you want, but the comparison is right there. They’re doing the same exact thing. Just different methods. Anyway - up/vote don’t mean anything from my understanding.
Right here.
Israel is taking out play books from Saudi Arabia and Nazi Germany. Everyone involved in the current government needs to be prosecuted in an international court for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Israel is the bad guy here, make no doubt about it. Just because horrible shit happened that doesn't give you the right to be even more horrible back.
Have you not seen protest? I know every leftist is screaming for peace or at the very least a fucking cease fire longer than a week. There is outrage; you just won't see it reported on in a positive manner by the vast majority of mass media. Follow independent journalist or the Al jazeera if you want information not propagandized by a capitalist system that benefits from Israel's existence.
Protests are silenced and unreported on intentionally to make it seem like there is less it a movement and to prevent further protest. The people are angry, across the entire world. Western governments are actively making decisions large portions of their population disagree with and it is entirely undemocrati
I also recommend directly following gazan journalists, though they are dropping like flies right now unfortunately.
Yes most of the protests are unreported unless they block major streets or disturb events. Yet media pertends it never happened and social media block most post from being discovered.
And to make matters even worse, most of them have decided that blocking streets or disturbing events is a step too far, some jurisdictions even prosecuting it as TERRORISM and/or making it legal to drive your car into protesters on purpose! 🤬
They've made it so your protest either gets no media coverage or you risk being branded a terrorist and having all your rights taken away, if you're not murdered first!
People are outraged but not the right people.
Or put another way: people are outraged, but the wrong people are in charge.
In the US, the ones who see a profit opportunity and/or considers sucking up to a fascist government and their propaganda arm AIPAC to stay in power and keep collecting legal bribes more important than the will of the people they're supposed to represent.
Outrage doesn't stop wars. We live in an autocratic system all while pretending to be in a democracy.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The face of Al Jazeera’s reporting throughout Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza was on air in October when he learned that his wife, seven-year-old daughter, 15-year-old son and one-year-old grandson were killed in an attack.
Hamza and his colleague, Mustafa Thuraya, a videographer for Agence France Press, were the latest of scores of journalists killed by Israel in its assault on Gaza in response to the Hamas cross-border attack in October.
If so, it’s a war crime and, as Al Jazeera has demanded, the international criminal court should add these killings to its investigation of Israel’s other alleged breaches of the Geneva conventions across occupied Palestine.
Even reporting from Gaza during the second intifada 20 years ago, when the Israeli military regularly invaded, bombed and flattened Palestinian neighbourhoods, did not feel especially unsafe compared with other regions.
Miller’s killing looked to be part of a pattern of ill-disciplined Israeli soldiers shooting whoever they felt like – not only journalists but UN officials and aid workers as well as Palestinian children.
Israeli politicians were quick to call for the “elimination” of a number of Palestinian journalists working for foreign news organisations who were falsely accused by a pro-Israel pressure group in the US of being “embedded with Hamas” on 7 October.
The original article contains 1,041 words, the summary contains 210 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Where should the outrage be? To whom should it be directed? What are the specific political moves that will change the behavior of the Israeli government?
I think these are the open questions floating around in the general world population right now. They are debated, but the answers aren't really clear to a majority.
I won't pretend to know for certain, but I think the outrage should be among Israelis and directed at their government because that's the only direct way to change it's behavior.
Alternatively, I guess a 3rd country's citizens could pressure their own government to divest from Israel or otherwise pressure them to change their ways. Of course, that's an indirect way to change the behavior of the Israeli government and does not address any preexisting reasons for aiding Israel in the first place.
I've run out of outrage.
I'm just so tired of people being ugly to each other.
