Certainly the ones that hack journalists should go to prison.

Why should journalist badge provide some kind of protection shield? [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Gonz%C3%A1lez_Yag%C3%BCe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Gonz%C3%A1lez_Yag%C3%BCe

  In Israel's opinion? It shouldn't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_the_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_... Israeli forces killed 38x more journalists than Hamas did on October 7th.

      Anyone has a right to be a journalist. This right shall not be abrogated by any state.

        Flip that statement on it's head. What respectable nation would fire upon a suspect in a press jacket without actually knowing who it is first? Who orders artillery and airstrikes on known press positions? Soviet doctrine? Countries with WWII logistics? Seems clear to me that this is a deliberate campaign of terror constructed by the IDF to deter any form of independent journalism in Gaza. No different than hasbara or the Hannibal Directive - orders passed down from the top get obeyed, even if it costs the truth or innocent lives.

      > Hamas also has a nasty habit of calling certain veterans "journalists". Ah, kinda like how Israel has a nasty habit of calling their military reservists "innocent civilians" when they're attacked? Or is it more like when they call the Golan Heights colonists "citizens" of a universally unrecognized occupation? Lot of complex vocabulary here. I invite you to link as many cases of falsely-identified journalist deaths as you can find though. It sounds like a big issue, judging from your tone. > When they do die, Al Jazeera makes a hue and cry out of it because it serves their agenda and resonates very well with their audience It could also be that killing civilians is a bad thing, and when Israel ignores the directly communicated press positions it exposes their indifference to collateral damage.

    Also by now the number of people killed in Gaza by Netanyahu is very close to the number of Ukrainian people killed by Putin. Did anyone suggest sanctions against Israel for that genocide? Nope, they enjoy their full immunity and keep going forward with a massacre that has the same exact motivation as the Russian invasion: rob other people of their territory and resources. Two war criminals, two rogue terrorist states, yet two completely different weights.

Anyone can be a journalist, so the requirement should be that all of us have our human rights protected by criminalizing this heinous behavior.
