what kind of a comment, is killing 5 journalist justified if one of them is claimed to be Hamas? would you have justified the killing of sharif if he was alone???you are still taking sides and dehumanizing us by such comments!!!
the USA/USI collectively are the terrorists. they are, by far, the most egregiously, unapologetically, indisputably forces-of-terrorism in the history of our species... whereas journalists like jonathan cook and al-sharif are indefatigable forces-for-good. their verbal dexterity has helped illuminate for the rest of us that the word 'war' is a word for men to clothe and coverup the nakedness of their killing. the USA/USI cabal is contaminated by in-extremis militarism, obscene levels of materialism, and blatant racism.
Netanyahu is a War Criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court.
Ana's Al-Sharif was a journalist reporting on the War Crimes that Netanyahu and Israel were committing every day.
The BBC is knee-deep in the Slaughter of Children and journalists in Gaza.
The wheel always turns, and the BBC reporter and his boss, and his boss, will one day be made to answer for their complicity in War Crimes, and in Crimes Against Humanity.
There is no statute of limitations on those Crimes.
Thank you, Jonathan Cook. You are somehow able to write “straight” reporting and yet convey powerful, righteous indignation at the same time. In Mexico, in the mid-1960s, at the time of the 1967 War and its aftermath, I knew, and was good friends with, several women who had spent their childhoods in Auschwitz and had lost most of their families there. When I rejoiced at “Little Israel’s” victory, they shook their heads and said it was “the worst thing that could have happened. This will not be good for the Jews.” It’s taken me four-plus decades to understand fully what they meant. What a shame. What a horror. Thanks again for your clear-eyed commentary. It’s a gift.
Perhaps the most frightful example of the philosophical justification "the end justifies the means" is the pogrom, the primary implementers of which know they’re committing mass murder, even genocide, yet genuinely perceive it all as part of an ultimately greater good. In this case, it's in Israel's land/natural-resource and ethnic-/religious-purity interests. Yet, so many Western officials/politicians are basically taking directions from pro-Israel/-IDF lobbyists.
And then there's the clearly-compromised heavily-corporatized Western news-media, including ours (Canada’s). Particularly with Israel’s systematic mass slaughter and starvation of Gazan non-combatants young and old, that news-media have been, to put it mildly, editorially emasculated. Though it may be due to orders from ownership headquarters and therefore beyond their control, our news-media are serious offenders.
The most notable example may be Postmedia corporation’s The National Post. One would really have to read it to believe it, especially since the initial (10/7) Hamas attack against Israel. It epitomizes an extreme example of an echo chamber promoting unconditional 110% support for the Israeli state, including its very-long-practiced cruelty towards the Palestinian people.
For example, shortly after that Hamas attack, a single-column story about a five-year-old American-Palestinian boy who was stabbed to death by the landlord of the residence in which he and his mother lived simply for being Palestinian was placed on page 5, while placed up high on the front page was a large photo (which accompanied a much larger story) with three Israeli teenage girls crying after their friends or family were kidnapped by Hamas gunmen.
More progressive outlets in Canada — progressive in regard to basically following “woke” ideology: that of race, sexuality, gender and gender-bending — may be considered more deceptive with their largely pro-Israel stance, especially since 10/7, as there seems to have been an attempt at appearing objective on this topic when they actually are not.

No possible justification. Israel is a ROGUE COUNTRY.
NO WONDER THERE WAS THE HOLOCAUST!

P’haps Israel is yet again projecting when saying journalists are spies?

Agreed. The media are not press. They are promoters. That’s how we should address them from now on. The promoters.
