There’s an issue with this even if you believe that would have made a difference (it wouldn’t have, because as soon as it started the Israeli government was aware). Journalists must not act on what they see, because they rely on the trust of parties in both sides to do their jobs. They need to be able to embed with both groups and document the war, and if they’re constantly giving away information then they won’t be able to do this.
Journalists documenting wars prevents some atrocities from happening. If they aren’t allowed to embed with armies, this stops. We don’t want this to stop, so we have to accept journalists sometimes not acting on information that could do temporary good, because the longterm good is more important.
He was there as a journalist. There were so many other people there that already called. It isn’t as if he was documenting secret acts. His call wouldn’t have changed anything.
Even if you believe he should have done something, did he deserve to die? His crime was inaction, he didn’t actively participate. Other people were killed to get to him, in a hospital. Regardless of if journalists should or shouldn’t act, Israel never claimed he did anything other than documentation.
I thought the whole action was a well kept secret and that was the reason they were so successful? In any case, to me it is not easy to say he was or was not (morally) innocent. It is a complex topic and I have not even nearly enough info.
I can’t tell if you’re a troll, or didn’t pay attention at all during that time period or just utterly stupid.
It was a very well kept secret. Until, you know, it was happening. The security failure of the IDF was so massive that when Al-Aqsa flood happened it revealed to all the Gazans that they could just tear down the fences and leave.
This is one of the reasons Hamas had issues with returning some hostages. Hamas isn’t the only militant entity in Gaza, and others arrested (If the IDF can kidnap thousands of women and children in the west bank with no judicial process and call it an arrest, then so too can the Palestinians) Israeli’s as well. As a result, Hamas didn’t have all the Israelis, at first.
tl;dr Military operations aren’t secret when they’re in the process of happening and anyone with two eyes can see them.
I didn’t even know what you’re trying to say.
One call would have saved so many people. That is what I am trying to say.
