What Counts As a 'Journalist' in Gaza

The Free Press published an investigation into the "starving children" being featured in media stories around the world, and found that the photographs supposedly showing formerly healthy children who are now malnourished are all, essentially, fake. Not that the photos are AI or anything like that, although there is plenty of that from the war, but rather each of the children is suffering from some genetic disease or another, and many had been medically evacuated by Israel to save them.
...
Now that doesn't mean that the Gaza war is clean or that Israel has completely clean hands. This would be the first war in history where that was true, and just yesterday, Israel admitted to a horrible error where it killed a number of innocents.

No doubt Israel is not completely transparent about what is happening, and just as clearly, we would expect that incidents of war crimes happen in Gaza. This is the brutal nature of war, where even legal means of fighting are often unmentionably brutal.

Ironically, if Israel had simply embargoed Gaza, the move would, at least arguably, be legal according to the laws of war. ...
...
Egypt is as active a participant--more so, actually-- in isolating Gaza. It has a long border with the Gaza Strip that is massively fortified and walled off to keep Palestinians in. Israel, not Egypt, is the entry point for aid. If you wonder why Gazans are trapped in a war zone, look to Egypt and ask them. We all know the answer. They want nothing to do with Palestinians because they are politically poisonous to any country that takes them in.

Just as Pravda Media doesn't tell you the story behind the pictures they show you, they fail to inform you that the "journalists" based in Gaza are either Hamas operatives or Hamas allies. I have written many times about this, and will do so in the future. Because we will be bombarded by stories about Israel targeting journalists in the war, without being told that those "journalists" are often Hamas fighters as well.
...
One does not get immunity by putting on a Press vest or a doctor's white coat, although you wouldn't know that if you only watched the news.

Of all the people who ought to be upset about Hamas propaganda and its appropriation of the label "journalist," it should be the media itself. It puts every real journalist at risk.

But...the Pravda Media EMPLOYS many of these people who put in "PRESS" vests and then take them off to fight. They depend on them to provide the propaganda that must be printed to make money.

MSM - US and international - mostly know what they are employing. They just hate Israel and Jooooos so much they willingly print/broadcast what they know are lies.
