ANY criticism of Israel or the IDF he takes personally and by now you have shot high up his list of anti-Semites and he probably believes that you should be burnt at the stake for heresy.

 

He has been on my ignore list for a long while and IMHO he should be banned from AN for life. Not that it matters as he will be back under a different name as several other posters are.

Aj Jazeera 'journalists' again! Avoidable if Hamas surrendered and released the hostages they have not murdered. 

An Israeli strike on a hospital in southern Gaza killed four journalists on Monday, including a freelancer who worked for The Associated Press, according to health officials.

 

Mariam Dagga, 33, a visual journalist, freelanced for the AP since the Gaza war began, as well as other news outlets. The AP said in a statement that it was shocked and saddened to learn of Dagga's death, along with several other journalists.

 

Dagga, who has a 12-year-old son who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war, frequently based herself at Nasser, most recently reporting on the hospital's doctors struggling to save children from starvation.

The Israeli prime minister’s office and Israeli military declined to comment on the strike.- Of course. What could the murderers say?

The truth is Hamas uses human shields and has used hospitals before for military purposes.

  Seems like it may have been IDF tank fire that caused the bombing  .

They can and they will deny that it was the IDF and several posters here on AN will agree with what they say. Some people like me will never believe Israeli propaganda, but the truth is that the criminal war cabinet of Israel and the IDF don't care and they will keep doing it. They know that their big brother, the USA government under Trump, will always  cover for them, and keep supplying bombs, rockets and ammunition for them.

As Maryam Abu Daqqa, a photojournalist for Independent Arabia, was climbing onto the emergency building at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip – to document the Israeli bombardment – an Israeli airstrike hit the building, claiming her life.

 

Two strikes hit the fourth – and top – floor of the emergency building in Nasser Hospital, which was a gathering place for journalists, firefighters, and patients. The second bomb hit the same spot as the first. Four other journalists were killed along with Maryam.

 

Maryam Abu Daqqa joined Independent Arabia in early 2020 as a photojournalist covering the Gaza Strip. Over the years of her work with Independent Arabia, Maryam Abu Daqqa covered all Israeli military operations inside the Gaza Strip, particularly current war. She did not miss a single day of work after the conflict erupted on 7 October, 2023.

AP and Reuters sent a jointly written letter to Israel that spells out how Israel cannot be trusted to investigate its own war crimes, and how they are deliberately attempting to block the world's view of the ethnic cleansing through murder and other means (my words) that Israel is attempting.

No international journalist's allowed into Gaza. Why ? 🤔 

Ah because it's not safe says Israel , just ask Al Jazeera's journalist's.

Just a coincidence then that the only people allowed to report on what's happening get wiped out and accused of being terrorists or it's put down as an accident. 

Only thing that's preventing this s**t show massacre ending is the amount of a** kissing between Israel and trump .

Very sad. Reporting from war zones is always incredibly dangerous.

Disregarding the Geneva Convention and UN Plan of Action on the safety of Journalists and to respect and protect journalists in war zone as long as they are not directly participating in hostilities has made Gaza incredible dangerous.

Hamas do set booby traps on buildings hoping to kill the IDF

Time will tell what caused the explosion, but it doesn't look like an airstrike 

Is it possible for Israel to commit any atrocity that you will not excuse, obfuscate or celebrate?

 

A ‘double tap’ attack is a well known tactic of terrorist.

 

“The “double tap” strike and killing of journalists prompted a wave of international condemnation, including from the UK foreign secretary, David Lammy. “Horrified by Israel’s attack on Nasser hospital.”

 

And no way is a ‘double tap’ attack a ‘tragic mishap’.
 

“Meanwhile, the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said Israel deeply regretted what he described as a “tragic mishap” at the Nasser hospital.”

It is when journalists are being deliberately targeted.

 

Now all you need is a excuse for attacking hospitals, medical teams and rescue workers.

Of course any President except Trump would immediately denounce and condemn Israel for the strike against a hospital and the resulting deaths of journalists from two of its top American newsgathering agencies - the Associated Press (AP) and NBC. Wanna bet Trump just shrugs it off?

Hmm... the only country i see condemning Israel attacks now is Germany and maybe a few other small EU nations. So I am confused by your comment. Why attack Trump only when not even sure what his response will be? What about China, Thailand or other Asian countries, Or other EU countries who have not said a word about it? I think you have too much Trump on the brain that you lose focus on the big picture.

Tragedy Strikes: Journalists Among 15 Dead in Gaza Hospital Attack

In a shocking incident, 15 people, including four journalists, are reported dead after a strike on a Gaza hospital.

 

 

An Israeli attack on the southern Gaza Strip's Nasser Hospital has resulted in the tragic deaths of at least 15 individuals. Among them were journalists from Reuters, Al Jazeera, Associated Press, and NBC.

 

Rescue workers on the scene faced a second deadly strike. Video footage captured smoke billowing from the hospital.

Reuters confirmed that its cameraman, Husam al-Masri, was killed. His colleagues, Mohammed Salameh of Al Jazeera, Mariam Abu Daqa of the Associated Press, and NBC photographer Muath Abu Taha, were also among the victims.

The Israeli military and prime minister's office have yet to comment on the attack.

 

As rescuers worked amidst the chaos, another strike added to the devastation. Shockingly, footage shows a doctor highlighting the horrific aftermath as the attacks continued.

This incident highlights the increasingly dangerous situation in the region. The world watches as the conflict escalates further.

Cheers. Hard to tell. No sound of incoming ordinance.

I'm rereading one of the greatest books "Gravity's Rainbow"... some has to do with the why you don't hear the ordinance (Israeli missiles this time)

“You can’t hear them when they come in.” Tantivy knows which “they.” His eyes shift away. There is silence for a bit. “Of course you can’t, they go faster than sound.” “Yes but—that’s not it,” words are bursting out between the pulses of shivering—“the other kind, those V-ls, you can hear them. Right? Maybe you have a chance to get out of the way. But these things explode first, a-and then you hear them coming in. Except that, if you’re dead, you don’t hear them.” “Same in the infantry. You know that. You never hear the one that gets you.” “Uh, but—” “Think of it as a very large bullet, Slothrop. With fins.”
