If I were a Palestinian journalist (the only journalists in Gaza since Israel is keeping everyone else in the press out), I would do as little as I could to draw attention to myself. It's clear that Israel has declared open season on journalists and they don't care if that's a violation of international law.

Apparently telling the truth is antisemitic.
As a Jewish (living in "Israel") person I have regularly been called antisemitic and even fascist for saying "hey maybe we shouldnt be killing children"
Yeah, before my test of insanity was to say "Palestinians deserve human rights"
Nothing about.that statement is controversial, but you spot the bigot if someone disagrees
Can you please not do that? All you're doing is using Israel's definition of antisemitism and so whenever real antisemitism comes up, people can hide behind saying things like "antisemitism has lost its meaning now."
Honestly, I've given up and just started calling people being antisemitic "bigots," but you're still not helping by using Israel's terminology, even in a sarcastic way. Because you're still helping to normalize it in a way that it can be dismissed.
(I expect to get heavily downvoted for this, but I don't care.)
I understand your concern. The current Israeli cabinet uses that word to anything that opposes the government's actions and it makes the word lose its real meaning.
However, I think that mocking the way Israel labels everything opposing the war as "antisemitic" does not undermine its real meaning but undermines the reputation of Israel using it inappropriately.
- Personal view, may be wrong.
It normalizes the concept. Which is what Israel wants. They want 'antisemitism' and 'Israel criticism' associated with it.
But more importantly, I have literally seen that sort of sarcastic comment about things that are actually bigoted now because people think that all they have to do is say, "I guess X is antisemitism now..." and suddenly it shifts to how Israel is co-opting the term- by co-opting the term.
Does that make sense? It's an "any publicity is good publicity" situation.
That’ll keep the press from saying bad things about you, right? Right?
It stops press from being there at all
Does the press say bad things about Israel?
Palestinian press does
Jeeesus, what the fuck man. Israel is just evil bullshit at this point, fuck those guys.
They have been for a while, it’s just that this time they are losing their edge on propaganda since folks have alternatives to corporate mainstream media. This is why they want to ban tik tok for example.
Well obviously the person that picked that target simply had Dyslexia and thought it said Hamas
What's the toll at? Last time I heard it was in the hundreds of journalist
Article said it exceeds 200.
