Aside from individual Palestinian journalists, Al Jazeera (regardless of affiliation) was the only big media outlet whose journalists risked everything to report live from within Gaza to show the horrors of Israel’s campaign, with Wael al Dahdouh being one of the bravest lead reporters on the conflict who took the risk to show us what’s happening live on the ground. It’s clear Israel doesn’t want us to know what’s happening in Gaza. Every western media that entered gaza had to do so while being accompanied by the IDF and having the IDF review their reporting before publishing it (as was the case with CNN).

What an amazingly democratic country that respects journalism and journalist Israel is! It just oozes democracy and integrity. Clearly the most virtuous and benevolent people ever in the history of mankind that would never use something like the Geneva convention as pretty much a checklist.
