I really do wonder how much of Gaza and its people are left standing and alive? Like what the real numbers of deaths are as the fog of war makes it so hard to really know. I fear once the world really reacts it will be too late. Maybe already is. So upsetting. All the wars are upsetting to me and so unnecessary.
Targeting the hospitals was a deliberate tactic to make this kind of information harder to reliably gather and disseminate.
Targeting journalists and UNRWA was also a deliberate attack to suppress the information going out of Gaza and also to cause the biggest possible suffering to the civilian population.
I feel its also important to note that they target more than just the journalists themselves, they also target their families. It's really is staggering how deep the depravity goes.
Targeting all network and power infrastructure also prevented many people from sharing information on their phones.
If Israel succeeds, we'll never know.
Is it not the opposite?
Part of "israel" succeeding would mean obscuring the situation by continuing to kill journalists and by propaganda
I think what he’s trying to say is that Israel succeeding would mean all of the Palestinians are dead, making the number of deaths equal or close to the population who remained.
Exactly. You cannot hide it when there is no one left.
We will see the result but not the details of the war crimes committed. IDF is working to cover their tracks, they know that once info starts coming out they will face backlash.
Has Hamas been slaughtering journalists and their families?
Not even at the same rate, just like at all.
They have to have had one or two right?

Last I checked, 4 Israeli journalists were killed or captured, but (and this is important) they were not killed because they were journalists. It's not like they were clearly marked PRESS, unarmed, and far from conflict zones. 3 out of 4 were not even at work, they were just people killed on Oct 7 who happen to be journalists. One was reporting on the music festival when she was killed.
Interesting how that works Huh?
And how many are not severely traumatized. Probably close to zero.
