Israel is taking out play books from Saudi Arabia and Nazi Germany. Everyone involved in the current government needs to be prosecuted in an international court for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Israel is the bad guy here, make no doubt about it. Just because horrible shit happened that doesn’t give you the right to be even more horrible back.
I never stated that SA did it first or that Israel started it after the 7th. I said they’re using their playbook. Given SA became world famous for killing journalists recently and in a horrific way, I figured I would just evoke that imagery and point out that as horrified as the world felt to that they should feel the same to Israel.
There was a reason the world was horrified by Saudia’s actions but wasn’t phased when Israel kills journalists, and it has been going on for years.
From 2022:
The killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank has cast a spotlight on the high rate of Israeli attacks against media workers, particularly Palestinians, and the relative impunity under which they operate, according to local journalists, advocates and rights groups.
Abu Akleh, 51, was fatally shot in the head on Wednesday while covering Israeli raids in the city of Jenin.
On the second Friday of the Gaza protests yesterday, Israeli snipers shot nearly 500 Palestinians at the Gaza border, killing nine (per AP), and bringing the death total in two Fridays to 31. The international headlines feature the shootings of six Palestinian journalists, including one who was killed, 30-year-old Yasser Murtaja, even though he wore a flak jacket clearly marked PRESS.
As for why do western media don’t care much when Israel kills journalists but went into a rage frenzy when Jamal Khashogji was killed, is left as an exercise for the reader.
Right here.

Israel has been killing journalists long before Saudi Arabia had Jamal Khashogji assassinated.
It didn’t start on October 7th, 2023.
