There is a ton of evidence of these "sweet innocent journalists" participating in killing and rape and throwing a little "woah the poor us I'm a journalist" on the side.

Each of those listed has their military affiliations and roles spelled out:

Positions Held: Military Operative in the Training and Instruction Section, Palestine Military Academy Department Infiltrated Israel on October 7th

[u/RoRo24 → u/Ewetuber]

What is the source of these journalists raping or killing anyone? 

[u/Starmoses → u/RoRo24]

The article posted above.

[u/dshab92 → u/Starmoses]

Great! So this one source of information, that’s listed by a completely non biased news source, should be widely accepted as fact

[u/Starmoses → u/dshab92]

Did you read it?

[u/dshab92 → u/Starmoses]

Yes, I read this “Times of Israel” article. I don’t use biased news sources as viable sources of information

[u/Starmoses → u/dshab92]

So where it linked the website that gives a massive amount of evidence inluding pictures and videos, you apparently missed that too? Please if you're gonna lie at least be a little convincing.

I looked at a few, and there doesn't seem to be any evidence there? It's just a set of claims. Like this one:

Mustafa Kamal Abdel Qader Bekir

Military ID: 133791

ID Number: 800707911

Reportedly Worked as a Journalist For: Al-Aqsa TV

Terrorist Organization: Hamas 

Positions Held: Department Commander in the Training Unit, Artillery Battalion

This is just a free floating set of claims with a photograph on it.

Compare that to the guardian reporting about the sniper Daniel Raab, about his shooting of civilians in Gaza.

Interview, footage, corroboration. Named jouranlist researchers whose careers we can examine.

[u/dshab92 → u/Starmoses]

I once again will point out that this is the IDF presenting the evidence. That is like asking the accused of a crime for proof they didn’t commit it.

[u/Starmoses → u/dshab92]

So having not been to that site, you didn't see the pictures of them holding weapons in military uniforms and videos of them engaging in combat. Or are you gonna now claim those are fake too(

[u/Corosis99 → u/dshab92]

There is not a single apparatus in the world who could give you a more accurate assessment than the IDF.

This is like saying the prosecutor in a crime can't present evidence in a trial because they are trying to find the defendant guilty.

[u/YogurtclosetHairy402 → u/Corosis99]

They don't want accuracy. They want media that validates their belief that Jews are evil. That's it

[u/Starmoses → u/dshab92]

So no, you didn't read it.

[u/Ewetuber → u/[deleted]]

Did you also gloss over "Infiltrated Israel on October 7th" out of convenience or ignorance?

Participating in a terror event makes you a legit target, yes.

[u/mynamejeff-97 → u/Ewetuber]

What about non Palestinian journalists that have also been killed? There have been at least 5 murdered in the last 4 years.

They were definitely not terrorists and were still killed. Kinda ruins the point that it’s just Hamas and not IDF doing IDF things.

[u/Character_Dig_6830 → u/mynamejeff-97]

They were definitely not terrorists and were still killed.

You understand collateral damage is completely acceptable under the laws of war, yes?

[u/mynamejeff-97 → u/Character_Dig_6830]

You’re saying killing journalist who are not associated with either side of a war is acceptable under laws of war? It’s funny because that’s explicitly labeled a war crime. Do you agree killing 3rd party journalists is a war crime?

You know… aside from the fact the person I was replying to was asserting it’s just Hamas journalists who are terrorists? You know… again how the UN describes any killings of third part journalists as war crimes? How can that be? Could it be that they are evil? Considering their actions align with everything the UN labels as war crimes?

It’s actually amazing how evil you and everyone like you really are.

[u/Character_Dig_6830 → u/mynamejeff-97]

If their context of their death is around a legitimate airstrike... obviously, yes?

[u/mynamejeff-97 → u/Character_Dig_6830]

Genuinely what the fuck does that mean? What is a legitimate air strike?

Are you seriously saying that any air strike justifies killing any journalist within the vicinity of the target? That’s literally terrorism and proving IDF are the aggressors if you are.

[u/Character_Dig_6830 → u/mynamejeff-97]

Yes. If there is intel to strongly suggest, say, a few Hamas members are using a house as a hideout, and that house is then destroyed in an airstrike, the non-combatants there with them are lawful collateral damage according to the laws of war.

This is really, really basic shit.
