I want to believe that Israel didn't target a group of journalists. There's a hell of a lot to give doubt to that theory, though.
Well, the IDF forces pulled BBC reporters out of their van clearly marked press and physically assaulted them. Source
In this situation, the man killed had uploaded a photo of himself, which was geotagged, onto social media just before Isreal fired on their location (again, clearly marked press).
With all of the other crimes against humanity committed by the IDF, I'm certainly suspicious that these may be intentional attacks on press. Not going to jump to any conclusions yet.
And before biased crazy assholes decend into this thread and jump to conclusions about me, I don't support Hamas or Isreal here; just the victimized innocent civilians on both sides.
Same shit, different day.
From the U.N. Human Rights Commission, 2019:
Yeah there were a couple bits mentioned about geotagging in there. It reads like the CNN author really wanted to say that it most likely was targeted, but doesn't have enough proof and has too much journalistic integrity to say it outright.
Don't think you really have to worry about that now, lemmy.world is defederated from lemmygrad.ml. Although frankly it's the hexbear users who have been the worst recently.
lemmy.world never federated with hexbear in the first place.

I know, that doesn't change what I said.
Remember Shireen? That wasn't an accident.
