Israel deliberately murdered 65 journalists in the past 45 days in the besieged Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and southern Lebanon, in addition to destroying the offices of all media channels in Gaza and blocking several news channels in the West Bank that should be out of its jurisdiction based on the Oslo Accords it signed.
Massacring children and women, destroying entire neighborhoods, bombing hospitals, invading hospitals and hoisting the occupation flag on top of them, and bombing refugee camps are all war crimes and crimes against humanity, no matter what justification the culprits give, murdering journalists in broad daylight to cover up those crimes just adds insult to the injury of the world's conscious.
Since its heinous war on the besieged Gaza Strip, which it completely besieged since 2005, Israel has deliberately murdered 65 designated reporters, journalist cameramen, and in some cases, their entire families, and it's not picky in the nationalities of its victims or the organizations they work for, one of them worked for Reuters and the other from Al Jazeera, both very sympathetic to Israel.
The latest war crime of Israel against journalism was the drone bombing and murder of the Lebanese Reporter Farah Omar, and cameraman Rabih Al Memari from the Al Mayadeen news channel in southern Lebanon yesterday immediately after finishing their morning live broadcasting from the frontline on the Lebanese side of the border.
Farah Omar and her colleague were positioned in the same spot used by the media channel for the past 45 days, in an open field, next to their broadcasting vehicle marked with press, they were wearing vests and helmets with Press clearly printed on them, and they were airing live, the drone that bombed them cannot mistake them by even a 0.1% of error, it was a deliberate murder.
Killing journalists, let alone civilians who pose no threat and are not armed is a war crime, no ambiguity in this.
Murdering 65 journalists in 1.5 months is despicable, Israel's hyped army is so shamed they had to cover up their losses and humiliating defeat and cover up their war crimes by targeting journalists.
What's even more despicable is the world's silence to these crimes, especially the Western mainstream media and the Western leaders who just a few years ago rushed to march in Paris in solidarity with the blasphemist cartoonist outlet Charlie Hebdo after it was attacked; the message cannot be clearer on who and what they support and who and what they target, and it's widely heard across the globe.
