Israel's entire assertion is that their real target is hiding among civilians. In such a war, there is no such thing as "off duty". To make his case he'd need something like a statistical model that reporters were more likely to be targeted than other civilians. Or be able to demonstrate that Israel did not believe that there were legitimate targets in the area. Or something. Just "I went to a war zone and got killed" isn't even pretending to be evidence. This war is shitty; everything about it is shitty. It's even shittier than other wars, which is really saying something. But just reiterating your preconceptions about who is worse than whom doesn't take in a direction that's less shitty.

That assertion doesn't hold water. https://twitter.com/muhammadshehad2/status/1731772261848264771 https://twitter.com/muhammadshehad2/status/17317722618482647... https://twitter.com/muhammadshehad2/status/1733066118330265727 https://twitter.com/muhammadshehad2/status/17330661183302657... It's not a war, it's genocide, and to call what you don't have the integrity to face the "preconception" of others is just rich. It doesn't matter "who is worse", it matters if your ally and/or the party you are directly materially supporting is committing genocide. Hamas isn't the standard, not being a Nazi is.
