The western governments do care, they care enough to supply the arms, weapons and ammunition used to kill the journalists.

But what’s weird is that with very few exceptions non-Palestinian journalists don’t seem to mind.

When government is a synonym for power, no government will want to support its critics

It’s interesting they’re only killing real investigative journalists. The long list of ventriloquist’s dolls is safe. But yep, it’s open season on genuine journalism. We’re drifting into the arena of the terminally unwell…

Within 2 days of invasion by Germany into Poland, France and Britain declared war on Germany. Israel has invaded Gaza, Syria and Lebanon commiting war crimes killing those that are reporting on the crimes. Yet foreign leaders of the globe watch on with continuing statements ‘deeply concerned’

Now all govts, dictators, warlords can murder and obliterate with impunity because of Israel

⚪️ hospitals, no worries
⚪️ journalists, absolutely
⚪️ aid workers, go for it
⚪️ UN workers, definitely
⚪️ infrastructure, sure

He was Bin Laden's press secretary lol

Exactly. Saudi Arabia set the precedent with one murder, and Israel scaled it to a massacre. Now every oppressive regime knows the playbook: silence the press, and the West will look the other way. Human rights as a concept? Apparently optional.

I think idf has specifically targeted journos & families as pay back

And when a govt in the US or elsewhere follows, who will speak up then?

Important to remember that some people care. Thank goodness @nobelprize.bsky.social recognized journalists with extraordinary courage, dedication @mariaressa.bsky.social & Dimitry Muratov. I hope #Canadians will protect independent journalism, a strong #CBC #RadioCanada

As if they haven't been doing it forever. The US killed many many journalists in Iraq.

I guess we will find out when Trump gets sworn in

A free and unfettered press is essential to democracy. There are fewer and fewer journalists who are permitted to speak truths. Those that do are eliminated one way or another. It is time that the press is taken out of the hands of those who use it to control.

The US was already doing it during the Iraq war. No doubt long before that too.

The sense of impunity of those drunk with power...
