“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don’t protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. … We lose our lives for no reason.”

    I should have put an /s there I guess. You don’t know a better way than genocide? If the treatment kills the host then it is not in fact a cure.

      If Israel wanted to kill all people in Gaza, they could just carpet bomb them without ever stepping a foot in. The only reason to do a ground invasion that will inevitably bring a ton of Israeli casualties is to reduce civilian deaths.

      You seem to be implying that israelis are not people or that their lives are less valuable.

      Edit: you should look the definition of imply in the dictionary. responding that you didn’t say something you implied is not a valid argument.

        where did I say that? Must be hard juggling a victim complex with 4000 murdered children. Oh, maybe not?

        edit: K, where did I ever come close to implying any civilian life (that’s universal jackass) is less worthy or valuable. What a fucking coward, coming in and editing the original as a way to skip a response. Here’s one in return piss pants.

        You’re implying that Israel is entitled to murder thousands of civilians, half of them children, and level to the ground a city that used to house over half a million people up until recently, just because its far right government that has protected people who abused Palestinians for decades doesn’t want to seek any solution other than relentless violence. One day you’ll look at yourself in the mirror and find yourself a monster.
