Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If you find some more sources, I'd be interested

IFJ White Paper on Global Journalism which goes into detail about journalists killed from 1990-2020. From that data the amount of journalists killed per year in a conflict is still highest in Gaza, with the Iraq War coming very close in 2006 and 2007.

I can't find detailed data about Journalists killed in older conflicts, if you find some please share

“Oh no number must be wrong it shouldnt be 100 it is 99”. Genocidal war crime colonial dont care about what the number means they focus more on whatever they can to discredit whatever happen taking the direction of the topic away from the fact that alot of journalist are targeted by Israel because of the coverage.

Yeah, hyperfocusing on the amount entirely misses the genocidal actions and intent. Even if the numbers weren't accurate, that wouldn't change anything (if anything, it's a huge undercount)

This isn't 99 vs 100 tires is orders of magnitude of. Israel shouldn't be targeting journalists. But there are all sorts of people they shouldn't be targeting. They're bad enough when we tell the truth, let's not lie.
