A recent report castigates Israel for allegedly killing more journalists this past year than anywhere else. Statistics by themselves do not tell whole stories.
Let us leave aside the fact that some or many of these journalists were enemy combatants or propagandists.
Let us assume that all of the journalists killed were real journalists covering war in a war zone, which is extremely unlikely.
Why were more killed in the war against Israel than by any other country at war?
Afterall, there are terrible bloody wars and armed conflicts occurring in the Sudan, in Yemen, in Myanmar, in the Congo region, North Nigeria, Somalia, and in many other places in the world.
So why then have more journalists been killed by covering the wars Israel fights than in these other wars and conflicts?
Most wars and conflicts receive little to no coverage. Most wars and conflicts have few to no journalists on the ground. If there are few to no journalists in a war zone, then there are few to no journalists killed by the inherent danger of being in a war zone.
The sad fact is that if there is not Israel to blame and demonize, then few to no one cares about the many wars and killing fields in the world that have nothing to do with Israel.
The vicious war in the Sudan, Yemen, Myanmar, and more receives little to no coverage. No journalists on the ground there to die by the inherent danger of being in a war zone.
Millions of people have been killed in recent vicious, bloody wars and armed conflicts with virtually no coverage, no journalists on the ground, no protests in the west, no college students lifting a single voice
If there is not Israel to demonize, human life has no value to the millions that will cry fake tears for the Arabs now called Palestinian, but not a single tear for an Arab or anyone else if there is not Israel to blame.
Hamas and company massacred, raped and murdered defenseless people inside of Israel on October 7, including babies and children, starting a war. This is a war being fought in a densely populated area in which Hamas and Islamic Jihad uses civilians as human shields to hide behind and beneath. Hamas spent billions on tunnels for themselves, and not a single bomb shelter above ground for civilians.
Civilian casualties, including that of journalists, propagandists and armed combatants claiming to be journalists, are inevitable if they are in the area where there is war. Journalists are not dying in places like Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Northern Nigeria and more where there is war or armed conflicts because they are simply not in those places with few, if any, exceptions.
In the war zones and killing fields all over the world, if Israel cannot be castigated and blamed, there is little to no interest or concern.
Millions continue to die with their stories untold. Human life is cheap to millions, perhaps billions of people, if there is no Israel to demonize, no anti-Israel propaganda value to be gained from the suffering and death of others.
