    Geez. The article doesn’t mention until paragraph six of seven:

    “Separately, The Associated Press reported that an Israeli shell landed among a group of international journalists killing the Reuters journalist and injuring six others.”

    It’s crazy that it’s not even news that Israel is launching shells at journalists.

          you have never heard them mention how kind they are? They occasionally message a block of flats to warn people they will level it. No other army does this.

      SEO and marketing tracking is to be blamed. They keep what you are looking for at the very bottom.

      The more time you spend the more money they earn.

        I knew there had to be a reason that it’s become impossible to find the actual recipe without scrolling through a massive wall of absolute nonsense.

        I’ve often wondered why there’s no justthefuckingrecipe.com

          I thought about an HTML website with 26 pages. One for every letter in the alphabet and one sentence at the top of each page “Ctrl-F the dish”

            Yes please, I will happily pay you absolutely nothing to make this.

            PS - off topic I know but this is one of those examples of how inefficient and nonsensical capitalism is as a way of organizing our society. Here as so often the market has proven its just not capable of meeting our society’s need.

      Welcome to Israel. Reminder that Shireen was also an American citizen. Pretty sure nobody’s gonna bat an eye about this either.

        For anyone trying to catch up on things, Shireen Abu Akleh was an experienced Palestinian American journalist killed by the Israeli Defense Force in May of last year. It didn’t make it into most mainstream news, but among people who pay attention to these things, it was shocking to see an American journalist murdered by state violence, but unlike Jamaal Khoshogi, the US state department refused to investigate or condemn Israel’s actions even after investigations showed it to be implausible that the soldier who killed her wasn’t aware of what they were doing.

    I was watching Al Jazeera English as they reported this and it was in no way an accident. The journalists from Reuters, Associated Press, etc. were traveling with them in a convoy of vehicles together wearing all the “PRESS” stuff and making their location known. They were in Lebanon nowhere near any militants so this should be investigated.

      If you’re also referring to Saudi Arabia, I wouldn’t say the US loves them

        The US doesn’t love them…

        Our politicians do tho. When there’s only two possible options for each election, the wealthy can just “donate” to both.

        And Saudi Arabia is pretty fucking wealthy. What’s a couple tens of millions in PAC donations if it guarantees your guy wins? They’d be stupid to just back one and risk losing.

    Are they going to deny this one for months too like the last one until and independent investigation can confirm unequivocally that it was an Israeli munition?

    War zones tend to be dangerous. Very sad for the man who died, hope the injured recover quickly.

      But how come only journalists from one side are dying? Seriously, one can think that these are not only unfortunate happenings but more targeted attacks to suppress the criticism of Israel.
