@clashreport How can an island which is in Greece and it is Greek, be 580km from Greece? Maybe you mean Turkey is 2km from Greece. Haven't you been taught about borders? Every country has borders so does Greece. Know your borders. Blue is Greece, red is Turkey. You are welcome.
For three years, Israel has repeated that Hamas and PIJ are disguising as "journalist", "doctors", "healthcare workers" and "paramedics", because they know that this disguise offers them some measure of protection, and that their death will cause outrage among credulous westerners.
Hamas was right: all Western media just lapped up the stories about the record numbers of "journalists" and "doctors" killed, keeping almost weekly tallies and never asking any questions.
And Israel was also right: Now that the war is over, Hamas and PIJ are gradually releasing lists of obituaries, identifying DOZENS of these so-called "journalists" and "doctors" as fighters.
And what do the Western media do? Nothing. Just deafening silence. "Who cares? Letโs just move on to the next anti-Israel calumny."
I cannot even begin to describe how angry this makes me. This is an unforgivable failure of journalism, and one that would never be tolerated in any other conflict. I approached several journalists personally and urged them to report on these revelations. To no avail.
In a way, you can't blame them. The professional and social repercussions of publishing any story that is (or might be perceived as) โhelpingโ the Israeli narrative are not to be underestimated.

This is who Democratic Socialists are fighting to keep in this country.
As the saying goes, when someone tells you who they are - believe them.ย
