BEIRUT/THE HAGUE, March 7 (Reuters) - An Israeli tank crew killed a Reuters reporter in Lebanon in October by firing two shells at a clearly identified group of journalists and then "likely" opened fire on them with a heavy machine gun in an attack that lasted 1 minute and 45 seconds, according to a report into the incident published on Thursday.

the IDF said: "We don't target journalists."

DOUBT

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago

With their kill count, that actually sounds worse. It would mean that they killed so many civilians that you'd statistically expect over 100 journalists to be among them.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well yeah, they target Hamas, and all the journalists are Hamas. Totally different.

[–] lennybird 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I use that excuse for everything. "Sorry can't go to in-laws, there's a hamas tunnel beneath their home"

"calling out sick, there's a high value Hamas target nearby, so sorry."

"oops, my bad for rear-ending your vehicle but you had Hamas in your car."

That falafel looks Hamas, hand it over now!

[–] Mammal 3 points 9 months ago

More like: "My ancestors ate chickpeas ... therefore, that falafel is mine!"

They don't target them specifically. They just kill everything that doesn't wear their colors.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Sometimes they kill them anyway.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Can't be too sure. Or maybe they're color blind. Anyway, they started blasting.

Just like that time that hamas decided to disguise themselves as three Israeli hostages and then they took off their shirts and waves the white hamas terror flag over their heads while speaking Hebrew asking for help. Good thing the IDF was their to stop theses Hamas terrorist from constructing body armour out of neonates.

"No... you guys stay here and hold the checkpoint. We'll be over there ~~where it's safe~~ getting some snacks."

Just witnesses

You buried the lede:

"Reuters could not independently determine if the Israeli tank crew knew it was firing on journalists, nor whether it also shot at them with a machine gun and, if so, why."

[–] snek 1 points 9 months ago

Ah yes the magical part where the IDF denies it or says oops and you absolutely find that as a good enough excuse for starving 2 million human beings who are no different than you.

The IDF lieeed? Agaaaain?

Netanyahu’s War on Truth - Israel’s Ruthless Propaganda Campaign to Dehumanize Palestinians

the Israeli government and military have unloaded a fresh barrage of allegations intended to justify the ongoing slaughter. The hospitals are Hamas, the U.N. is Hamas, journalists are Hamas, European allies are Hamas, the International Court of Justice is antisemitic. The tactic is effective, particularly because the U.S. and other major allies have consistently laundered Israel’s unverified allegations as evidence of the righteousness of the cause.

Lucky for us we're already on to the next lie of the UN repeating and IDF Zaka rape accusations as "credible witnesses" without any actual investigation.

Just keep lying and if someone says you lied they are Hamas defenders.

Hamanibal doctrine: If it might be part of the great cycle of life from which Hamas arises, then it has to die

I prefer the "Samson Option", or how Zionists would rather destroy the world with nuclear weapons than give up control of Israel.

Crazy how Zionists have become the new Nazis and so many people are proud to support them.

A minute 45? Did they miss with the first couple hundred rounds?
