The head of an Israeli media watchdog, HonestReporting, says it was simply ‘raising questions’ by wondering whether Palestinian photojournalists who documented the Oct. 7 attack on Israel had been tipped off in advance that it had happened
Gil Hoffman, executive director of HonestReporting and a former reporter for The Jerusalem Post, admitted Thursday the group had no evidence to back up that suggestion. He said he was satisfied with subsequent explanations from several of these journalists that they did not know.
That’s what everyone called conspiracy theory. But i guess it’s okay to question the journalist but it’s not okay to, say, question why Israel didn’t do anything about the early warning they were given. I’m just aSkiNG QuEStiOn.
Israeli politicians Danny Danon, Israel’s former U.N. ambassador, and former defense minister Benny Gantz condemned any journalists who knew about the attacks ahead of time. Any who stood idle while killings took place that day “are no different from terrorists and should be treated as such.”
In short, HonestReporting lied. They have no evidence that the reporters had anything to do with Hamas other than being there when the event happened.
Of course, the group admits to this only after the Israeli government has stated that it's adding those reporters to the "to be killed" list as being the same as Hamas terrorists.
It's literally the only image y'all have and you keep parading it around. What is it evidence of exactly? And what does it have to do with any reporter other than this single guy?
And what does it have to do with any reporter other than this single guy?
Nothing - and I never claimed otherwise.
So do you claim this photo is a fake? If no, you can’t claim broadly that this Israeli organization actually lied, because that photo proves otherwise in at least this case.
I'm not claiming it's fake, I'm stating that it isn't evidence for claiming the freelance journalist depicted participated in what happened on the 7th.
If that single photo is an absolute proof of a crime, then i guess a lot of crime went unpunished.
It could proof association, or rather, they both met, but unless there’s more evidence coming out saying otherwise, it cannot proof that the journalist is in the know of the attack and should be treated as traitor.
