CPJ Head Condemns Israel's Deadly War on Journalists in Gaza as IDF Threatens Al Jazeera Reporters



Al Jazeera is demanding the safety of its staff in the Gaza Strip after Israel claimed that six of the network's journalists there have ties to militant groups. Press freedom advocates say the Israeli accusation amounts to a preemptive justification for murder. Since the start of Israel's war on Gaza last October, at least 128 journalists have been killed, including many from Al Jazeera. The Committee to Protect Journalists says Israel has a history of smearing Palestinian journalists with unproven claims, including in July, when Israel killed Al Jazeera correspondent Ismail al-Ghoul and later released documents claiming to prove al-Ghoul had received a Hamas military ranking when he was just 10 years old. "There is a pattern of Israel making these kinds of allegations, providing evidence that is, frankly, not credible or, in some cases, no evidence at all," says Jodie Ginsberg, CPJ's chief executive officer. "As we have fewer and fewer journalists reporting … we have less and less information coming out of Gaza. And it's absolutely essential that we have that information, that we have those images, so that the international community can understand the scale of what's happening."

Like a spoiled child, Netanyahu's government is not worried about he world at large so long as we keep sending them weapons.

Netanyahu isn't worried about "daddy coming home" because daddy was too busy screwing porn stars, and doing a poor job at that, or so I've heard.

Netanyahu has become a national and global security threat and anathema to the very idea of "never again," a twenty pound tail on a five pound dog.
