Nat'l Journalists Assoc. demands inquiry into death of Gaza phot.. Palestinian Journalist Fatally Shot While Covering Gaza Protest The Israeli military said it does not intentionally target journalists and is looking into the matter. Hours before Murtaja was shot, Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, a military spokesman, said soldiers employ lethal fire only as a last resort. "No one gets shot by standing and looking. They are shot after commanders specifically approve it against a specific person or threat," Conricus said.
I hope that this entire protest becomes the wake-up call the world needed. It is unacceptable for Israel to continue getting away with shit like this. Engaging Hamas insurgents and shooting unarmed civilians are two wildly different things. Disgusting.
Nice editorialised title. What it should say is "Journalist killed by IDF in Gaza". There's zero evidence they're specifically targeting journalists.
[quote]The Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate in Gaza said an additional five Palestinian reporters covering the border protests were wounded by Israeli fire. NPR met two of them, in hospital beds with serious leg wounds, who said they were shooting photos on the border and wearing PRESS-labeled vests when they were shot.[/quote] It helps to read the articles posted if you want accurate information
As long as the US keeps backing them then nothing will happen, things seemed to get better after the Obama administration abstained on a UN vote allowing a resolution to pass against israeli settlements but then Trump got elected so back to square one. Ironic that some people ended up voting for Trump based on this instead of having the best interest of their fellow countrymen in mind.

Yeah totally a raging firefight with no shots to be heard and no guns to be seen.
Some of the last footage he filmed. Guy had worked for the BBC and so on. Gives a pretty good overview of the situation. These are the people shut in a cage being dehumanised and murdered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z_en9hTLSA
might want to get ears checked, there's clearly gunshots in the video
There's so much audio distortion on it that using it as a reference point isn't helpful
It's just random audio shit. There's no gunshots.
its clearly gunshots at :05, :15, :17, :19, :23 what distortion could make those sounds that sound exactly like rifles being fired?
So if their official statement is to be believed... "No one gets shot by standing and looking. They are shot after commanders specifically approve it against a specific person or threat," does that not mean they are 100% targeting journalists? And to the people who deny that it's what they're doing- instead of targeting journalists they're indiscriminately firing into crowds of unarmed protesters and that somehow makes it better? https://youtu.be/N3LKLPj0NY8 Here's a different video of them killing a 19-year-old. I truly do hope this serves as a wake up call and sheds some light on the atrocities that the US funds- like those against the Yemeni by the Saudis.
