Israel keeps murdering and beating journalists
If you control the story, you control the outrage.
That’s why journalists in Gaza and Lebanon are being targeted, detained, and killed — because documenting war crimes is the one thing power cannot afford. And when reporters become targets, it’s not collateral damage. It’s strategy.

Israel is exporting Gaza to Southern Lebanon.

Israel systematically torturing Palestinians in custody, says UN expert
Report by Francesca Albanese says Palestinians in custody ‘subjected to exceptionally ruthless physical and psychological abuse’ since Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza started.
…I can understand a tense moment where a soldier hits someone in frustration.
I don’t like it, but I get it.
That’s not what is happening here.
The Israelis are systematically torturing prisoners in the most terrible ways.
Israel loves to boast and tell us they are the only democracy in the Middle East, that they are a country of laws but the systematic torture of prisoners proves they are not any of that.
Systematically torturing prisoners isn’t a mistake. It’s a choice.
When journalists are silenced, the violence doesn’t stop — it just becomes easier to deny. And once that happens, the question isn’t just what is being done. It’s what the rest of the world is willing to ignore.
I am not really clear why you would think Israel is any better than Iran at this point. It’s like they have convinced people to think Oct 7 gave Israel the right to be as objectionable as they have been. The way they have behaved since that date just makes it seem more obvious they let that day happen.
