      Letting anyone inside a war zone is a very bad idea. This is why war zones called war zones. Anyone inside a war zone is in an official life danger.

        You act like war reporting doesn’t have a rich history. This isn’t a new concept.

        Only one county in the past ~50 years or so has become known for targeting clearly-delineated journalists in war zones.

        Well maybe two since the US did it at least once in Afghanistan. But once isn’t a pattern.

        Very true, I’m certain those who go into war zones are aware of the dangers posed to them. Keeping conflict journalists out despite their knowledge of and willingness to brave those dangers is suspect.

          And it totally has nothing to do with the huge # of third party journalists that have been killed by the IDF already despite incredibly clear press markings. It’s almost like the IDF wants the ability to control the narrative or something…

          And when said reporters die in said war zones, the whole world: “Israel indiscriminately kills reporters”

          Make up your mind. You can allow people to enter and risk their lives in war zone even though it’s mega dangerous, but don’t blame solely one side of a war for the deaths of said reporters. Because that’s clearly shows your bias.

            Yes, when Israel is the one who shoots, bombs or attacks them.
