He is injured but not dead
Being a journalist in range of Israel isn’t the safest of occupations.
Any world leader and politician not calling out israel government is evil and lying to people.
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.
Ahh the BBC, Pinnacle of using soft language to describe war crimes
Our “Journalists”, their “Presenters”
History is written by the victors. This realization has made me question every version of history I have ever been taught
Israel definitely didn’t try to kill this journalist or the 300 journalists they successfully killed in the last 2.5 years.
what a chad. may he continue to evade bombs for a long time
Didn’t really evade this bomb though, did he? Someone said it struck in the crack there and exploded in there, which was very lucky for them. Otherwise, smithereens.
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
They can target specific buildings in a group. They put that bomb exactly where they wanted to. He was targeted.
This video is ANTI SEMETIC!
-The ADL, AIPAC, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, EVERY Republican!
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
What the fuck are you talking about, answer the question
You’ve justified the murder of journalists, whether this one was murdered or not. It was attempted murder, which carries all of the intent of a successful murder. And we’re seeing the video precisely because of survivorship bias. The 300 or so other journalists the IDF have murdered in the last 2 years were not so lucky.
Give your head a wobble mate, you’re literally out here justifying the murder of press in war zones.
So no.
And no, I’m not justifying anything.
I could ask you to point to where you think I justify killing but what a waste of time it would be, asking questions to people so fucking deep in the political delirium.
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.
Their leader is a child killer, and the US leader is a child rapist. Talk about a match made in the deepest recesses of Hell.
You’re being really unfair. Trump very well could’ve also killed 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.
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.
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?
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.
Did not say that. I said what I said. I said this is from RT which is a known outlet for Russian propaganda. Why are you so intent on sealioning for a known propaganda wing for the Russian government? Actually, never mind, don’t answer, I don’t care. I’m not interested in debating with authoritarians, fascists, and tankies. You all can respectfully go lick grass.
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.
Wow thanks for the threat man that’s fun to wake up to. I guess I must have really upset the tankie mothership to have gotten so many threats today. I do not support fascists or authoritarians of ANY kind, wild to see that you only dislike them when it’s not daddy russia.
Like seriously, you in particular confuse me. What are you doing on the anarchist instance if you’re going to go out of your way to threaten people for calling out state-controlled media? Such a hypocrite.
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
The video literally has a watermark on it that says russia in big letters in a twitter handle. You clearly did not watch the video or are lying.
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
No, I don’t agree with that. The reporter doesn’t have anything to do with it.
It’s about not watching known propaganda outlets, because despite their information being accurate most of the time (and convincingly small lies other times), they usually have an agenda as to where they want to take you, feelings-wise.
For example, during WWII, Germans would’ve never tuned into Atlantikssender if it had been lies. No, it was (mostly) accurate reporting (with wins and losses, Germany always lost a bit more than they actually did, and the Allies always won a bit more than they did). What made it propaganda, aside from the small exaggeration, was Vicky mit drei Küssen, or “Vicky with three kisses”, who was an actress of German origin, who had escaped to England, and was there to make the German soldiers just feel like the war is bullshit (which it is, as a larger phenomena as well, so that’s not in any way untrue either) and to imagine being home with their better half. Or if they didn’t have one, made them imagine having one.
I’m not saying this reporter is any of those things, or in any way involved with Russian propaganda at all. I’m saying RT is, and we can’t possibly know which of their material is bending the truth and how. Obviously it isn’t this, as shooting journalists is pretty common for Israel, but the larger point is still that we can’t know, so just avoiding anything RT is the best way to go.
“Justification for violence” pssshhh, I’d say “good try”, but it really was not even a good try
But the other user complained about the journalist not the russia media
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
HEY GUYS I FOUND THE ZIONIST
Don’t try to drag me into being trampled by harassers by making McCarthyist claims about what I believe with zero evidence. You are the worst type of person. Blocked.
What are you even on about? Weird
RussiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHGHHHGGHGHGHGHGHHGGHHG!!!
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?
Yup, it takes some programming but I find it quite handy for avoiding botnets and tankies.
Oh geez, do tell.
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.
"Netanyahu had a warm relationship and “personal friendship” with Russian president Vladimir Putin. In his 2022 book, Netanyahu wrote positively about Putin and describes him as “smart, sophisticated and focused on one goal – returning Russia to its historical greatness”
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?
You may not realize this, but being a journalist provides him with protections. As a journalist he should not be a target, same as a medic. No matter whose side he is on, he is not a target. By attempting to strip him of this title, you would also be stripping him of his legal protection from military targeting.
Most people agree that journalists (even “enemy” journalists) should not be targeted by weapons, for what should be fairly obvious moral reasons.
I hope you understand now why you are experiencing such a huge level of disagreement here.
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
