It's OK to kill journalists

Yes it started out as a left leaning paper, then swung to the right by some margin.
It started life as a British owned paper then underwent a drastic change of direction in 1950 when the Zionists began to take control of the country. It's a short step up from Pravda.
 
Israel killed as many journalists as it could in Gaza, but the news still got out.

Cutting off water, fuel, electricity, homes and food might get rid of a few more.

Yes John but then evidence emerged that at least some of the journalists were terrorists, maybe it was a sideline but terrorists they were.

Don't worry too much about the UN Genocide case, already looking like it's in the bag for Israel..

No evidence produced, and you still haven't defined what a terrorist is.
 
If they can't kill the messenger, they'll try to kill the message...

Journalists at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) have threatened a walkout after details emerged regarding the firing of Antoinette Lattouf. The radio host last month joined a growing list of journalists across the globe to have been dismissed for expressing views supporting Palestine or calling for Israel to end its bombardment of Gaza. The Australian-Lebanese commentator and columnist was just three days into her short-term contract when she was dismissed. The sacking came shortly after she posted on social media a Human Rights Watch report alleging that Israel was using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza.

The broadcaster had itself covered the release of the report. However, a chain of WhatsApp messages obtained by the Sydney Morning Herald revealed that a group called Lawyers for Israel had leaned on ABC’s top brass to get her off the air.

Critics say that pro-Israel campaigners are intent on eradicating dissent in newsrooms. Numerous journalists in countries including the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada have lost their jobs or been suspended since Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7 sparked the Israeli offensive in the enclave.

alleging that Israel was using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza.

I wonder if Israel has sacked any of their politicians, ministers, generals, soldiers or members of the public for proudly announcing the same thing.



She should count herself lucky that, as a journalist, she has not been "caught in the crossfire" or "a tragedy of war" like more than a hundred others killed by the Israeli army in the past few months.
 
In the past few months, British police have doubled down on their longstanding efforts to stifle free speech on Palestine by equating all expressions of support for the Palestinians with support for Hamas. Mick Napier, the founder of the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, was arrested a few days before me, for a similar “offence”.

These renewed efforts to criminalise pro-Palestinian activism and speech have not in any way been subtle.

The BBC, the voice of the British establishment, for example, casually stated in a news report in October that widespread pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the country were in fact “pro-Hamas” (the corporation had to retract this assessment after a public backlash), and Home Secretary Suella Braverman, defined them as “hate marches” attended by “sick” anti-Semites.
