The IDF has admitted to bombing a hospital in order to assassinate a prominent Palestinian journalist in Gaza, explicitly stating that they assassinated him for engaging in journalistic activities.

The official Israel Defense Forces account made the following post on Twitter (emphasis added):

Don’t let Aslih’s press vest fool you: Hassan Abdel Fattah Mohammed Aslih, a terrorist from the Hamas Khan Yunis brigade, was eliminated along with other terrorists in the ‘Nasser’ hospital in Khan Yunis. Aslih participated in the brutal October 7 massacre under the guise of a journalist and owner of a news network. During the massacre, he documented acts of murder, looting, and arson, posting the footage online. Journalist? More like terrorist.”

Documenting newsworthy acts and posting the footage online is also known as journalism. It’s the thing that journalism is.

    nato is a trench coat filled with nations with 2 agenda’s that take precedence over defending ukraine:

    the united states wants its minerals and is using its leverage of weapons to force the ukrainins to sign over minerals rights without any future guarantees of security; robbing them of a future income from this natural resource.

    europe want’s them to sign over guarantees of future economic ties with strings of future austerity measures as disguises to ensure that eu will have permanent access to the ukrainian market; robbing them of the ability to keep their future economic independence.

    the ukrainians were fooled into believing that they could join the nato fold by the americans and the only thing they got for it is a dissolution of their future sovereignty like the vassals states of africa and latin america.
