He is injured but not dead
It’s ok guys, the missile just happened to safely “land” in the area, by chance, “next to” the guy, who is only a “presenter”, not a journalist . There’s definitely no war crime to see here.
Our “Journalists”, their “Presenters”
Israel definitely didn’t try to kill this journalist or the 300 journalists they successfully killed in the last 2.5 years.
Does it maybe seem like the pilot intentionally missed, though–disobeying orders? Isn’t this like missing an ant?
it supposedly was shrapnel munition, so you want to hit closeby but not necessarily on the target. But the bomb went through the hole and exploded in the canal under the street which is what saved his life. I see no reason to give an IOF stormtrooper the benefit of the doubt. They wanted to kill him, but accidentaly bungled it simple as.
It’s in the exact same spot as a previous strike. It’s called a “double tap” attack, and it’s a war crime.
The guy only survived because the bomb went off inside the crater from a previous strike, he would’ve been turned into powder if that had exploded in the surface.If you mean missing an ant with a gun, then maybe. But it doesn’t look deliberate, and the explosion could have killed them anyway
what a chad. may he continue to evade bombs for a long time
A terrorist state bombing the mouthpiece of another terrorist state.
Can’t say I’m overwhelmed with emotion
Nice way to justify murdering journalists.
Oh, did he get murdered?
You must be very disappointed he was not
This video is ANTI SEMETIC!
-The ADL, AIPAC, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, EVERY Republican!
Almost the exact same spot as one before and nothing there but him…
And the bridge that was still standing.
I doubt he was specifically targeted, since the margin of the miss was too large. But the ones doing the bombing knew he was there and went ahead to bomb the bridge anyway.
the old one two attack, its done to target aid workers and whatnot.
The only thing Israel loves more than killing journalists, is killing children.
Idk it’s maybe a tie for health care workers too.
Don’t forget women and the elderly.
And infants
Ok, but I think we can all admit child detectives are neither cute nor amusing.
And they would have gotten away with it too! If it weren’t for those meddling kids and their mangy dog!
IRL version:
Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy were never seen or heard from again.
For fun, I just looked at headlines for this. Almost all of them mention Lebanon, only two mention Israel or IDF. Classic.
Well, why did Lebanon decide to place a country where bombs fall?
Some analysis
Allegations he was targeted because he posted this yesterday
https://xcancel.com/SweeneySteve/status/2034700333000331742
He have video after hospital from 5 hours ago. What a day to be alive.Not saying this info is wrong but the fins on the bombs in those pictures look very different. I’m no bomb expert of course
That’s pretty much undeniably a mk82 warhead. Which are fitted with different tail sections and other guidance systems for whatever they want to be used for. If the report is correct in that it was a 200lb load with 300lbs of metal, that would be the mk82 mod 7. Which likely has a Israeli tail section made for low altitude deployment with high precision.
Dang I didn’t know they could swap parts like like
Going by the tail section (and lack of wings), it looks like this was a mk82 fitted with a Paveway II system, which would make sense given that this was likely intended to be used to demolish the bridge he’s standing on…
Paveway tail/nose for comparison
Either way it’s clearly different surroundings, and the missile in the video goes into a crater where a previous missile hit, while this still shows a missile hitting flat terrainEdit: silly me, it’s just zoomed in. And the rocket hits a little farther back from the crater, not in the existing crater.
Jfc, Israel just cant help but targeting innocent people, civilians, and the press are their prime targets
They were promised unlimited bloodshed of innocents 3000 years ago y’know
I don’t trust anyone who, after hearing the story of Abraham, still is like “yeah, more of that please!”
Well gentiles (non-jewish) are like animals, according to some rabbi’s
just cant help
This assumes that the bomb accidentally fell there. This was a targeted strike.
As the OP said: “just can’t help but” is a negation of what you quoted.
It’s like saying they “can’t not target [innocents]”
Not the way I worded it. I said they cant help but target innocent, civilians and journalists
Ah I see, I am just unfamiliar with the expression it seems.
No worries! Not sure why you got so many downvotes for a clear misunderstanding
So, will Keir Starmer comment on this or is his mouth too busy wrapped around Netanyahu’s dick?!
Any moment now.
Wild to see 280 people upvoting content from RT, which is literally a Russian propaganda outlet. But thanks for the list of 280 people whose votes I can safely ignore, I guess.
LOL hang the fuck on. You’re saying the explosion we all saw didn’t happen?
GTFO here.
But thanks for the list of 280 people whose votes I can safely ignore, I guess.
Cool, and we have a list of hasbara accounts like yours.
What russia propaganda is spread in this specific video? This is also a community about insane videos so they upvote insane videos
It’s propaganda because it shows how Israel bombs indiscriminately while they’re at war with Russia’s ally Iran. This is effective propaganda because it’s true.
The word russia was never mentionned in video. Yes RT do propaganda but it is not in this video
Propaganda doesn’t mean you don’t ever report news accurately, lol. In fact, effective propaganda relies on it.
I never said he is not a propagandist. I said a propagandist can be a journalist or any other job relating to public affairs
I think the point he’s making (and at least which I was making with the article, and it’s actually a really good read) is that quality propaganda is inherently hard to discern by it’s very nature, and in this time of war with Russia, we should probably do even the small things we can to avoid known Russian propaganda outlets.
Or do you disagree?
He is claiming that doing propaganda strip you of the titlte of journalist which would mean that person is not a protected person in war zone. It is like someone getting hit by a car and someone else talking about how the person who was hit was a bully who hurr many people. It is a justification of violence
HEY GUYS I FOUND THE ZIONIST
Oh yeah, this video is clearly Russian propaganda.
Are you that much a conspiracy theorist that you lost all pragmatism in life? It doesn’t matter where this video comes from, it is what it is.
Sheesh you must be fun at parties
RussiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHGHHHGGHGHGHGHGHHGGHHG!!!
What are you even on about? Weird
Wild to see this comment having such downvotes.
I mean, not actually.
But it’s nice to see.
WAIT is there a way to block someone’s votes from influencing the count your client displays?
Thanks for confirming you’re a dumbass, blocking account. Makes it easy.
He’s a British man, but he was working for the Russian state-controlled media organization Russia Today. So, I don’t think you can really call him a “journalist” anymore.
If he had been working for the British state-controlled media organization the British Broadcasting Corporation, would you still call him a journalist?
He is still literally a journalist whether you like it or not. FOX News says their content is entertainment, but I wouldn’t bring that point up if one of their reporters was violently targeted in their line of work.
No, he’s not a journalist. He’s a propagandist working for the Russian government.
A propagandist can be a journalist, a teacher, a doctor etc. You don’t bomb unarmed people you disgusting peace of trash
You don’t bomb unarmed people you disgusting peace of trash
Because I noted that he’s a propagandist, you think I supported his being bombed? That’s all you, my friend. I said nothing about that.
Who are you tring to fool scum
Wow, you’re really stupid, huh?
I think I’ve missed the part where he said it’s okay to bomb unarmed people, can you point it out?
journalists are protected under international humanitarian law in war zones by saying he is not a journalist he is alluding that that person deserve to die for being a propagandist
He should have been in an IDF tank with full Israeli censor over the content instead of on the front lines getting bombed by Israel. That is what real “journalism” looks like.
Yeah he’s a propagandist. But him getting bombed is still a WTF moment.
It is ok to kill him then
No
RT journalist so it’s hard to believe. Or could have been staged. The way they describe the bomb and the “good luck” it didn’t kill anyone
How in the actual hell do you stage a mk82 slamming into the ground?
What did RT roll up to the Russian AirForce and ask them to fly all the way to Lebanon to drop the equivalent payload behind a staged reporter and hope he survives?
That’s a bit of a dumb question, although I seriously doubt this was fabricated. Aside from the video effects software we’ve used for decades to create exactly this sort of footage, just look at the front page of reddit to see the effect that broad access to AI video editing tools has caused. Footage is easier than it has ever been to fake these days, and as a result we have to rely on the credibility of the source. RT has zero credibility in general, but in this case they don’t have a history of outright fabricating footage (just lying about the source, content, location, etc.) so I doubt this is fake.
However, it does throw into question his claims that they were never warned or that he was directly targeted - that strike makes plenty of sense and is directly on target if they’re trying to demolish that bridge, and very little sense if they were using a laser guided munition to kill him. That landed wayyy out of the CEP for a Paveway II, so either the pilot missed intentionally or… they’re trying to extend the initial damage to disable the bridge.
Yeah, because it matters which journalist is targeted. The good guys are obviously allowed to target journalists of the bad guys.
You are an absolute fucking retard, just as anyone agreeing with this stupid ass take. He and his team are fucking civilians. They are not legitimate targets.
They’re a mouth piece for Russian propaganda, and as much as Israel can go fuck itself, they literally told people they were targeting the bridge and finishing up the road destruction. Even fired warnings shots…this guy is a known propagandists for russia.
Oh, my bad, right. Ignoring collateral civilians isn’t a war crime, because obviously they’ve been warned to fuck off. This is an amazing concept for journalism, you just tell any journalist that is uncomfortable for you to get away or they die, and if they don’t, you just kill them. Isn’t that great?
Civilians are not a legitimate target, without exceptions.
as much as Israel can go fuck itself, they literally told people they were targeting the bridge and finishing up the road destruction"
“Fuck israel, but actually no”. If the same clip would’ve been from the Ukraine with a Russian shell in the background, you would be protesting the fucking ICC already.
You’re a bootlicking asshole, excusing war crimes with pathetic double standards. Fuck you, and everyone coming up with that unhinged argument of “It’s not a crime if the good guys done it”, “it’s not a crime if the victim was a bad guy”, or both at the same time. Fuck you, and your moral pseudo hight ground. People like you are part of the reason that the US and their Israeli buddies can invade, genocide and cripple whole countries with close to zero backlash and with zero consequences.
I only get my news from trusted CIA cutouts owned by billionaire oligarchs
It’s possible to dislike propaganda irrespective of who is dishing it out.
What news source, pray tell, is not propaganda?
The best today are a short list of YouTube channels. Truly independent investigative journalists are a rare treasure these days.
This, I agree with
There are many that don’t exist exclusively to push the narrative their owners want to get out there, don’t be so obtuse.
That claim is ridiculous. Name a single media source that does not slavishly serve the political context it arises from
AP, Reuters, BBC World Service.
There’s three.
And you think all three of those are meaningfully independent from the anglo-american military/espionage cartel?
