Journalist Issam Abdallah has been killed and Christina Assi permanently disabled by Israel for no reason at all

Investigations into the activities carried out by Hamas and the IDF during this war are progressing well. I have very little sympathy for the pro-Hamas propagandists killed who abused the word “journalism” to spread their hate and genocidal ideologies, but there is now, conclusive proof that Israel and the IDF deliberately killed journalists who were in no way a threat to it or to its society.

Independent investigations have concluded that journalists Issam Abdallah (Reuters) was killed and Cristina Sassi (AFP) was permanently disabled at the Lebanese border by an Israeli strike. These journalists posed no threat to Israel and were not in an area where there was any military target nearby.

Israel has to come up with explanations for this act and face responsibility for the death of these journalists.

    Israel has executed journalists for years including some Israeli journalists before this conflict over the previous 22 years, CPJ has documented at least 20 journalist killings by members of the Israel Defense Forces. Despite numerous IDF probes, no one has ever been charged or held responsible for these deaths.
