    Fair enough. Although they won’t see my reply, in the context of their comment, my argument is that although I think accurate reporting matters, it is essentially moot whether it was actually one camera or 15 journalists physically present. Both are unjustifiable and serve to distract from the actually important part that idf-cool is bombing a hospital without even so much as a “Hamas tunnels” excuse, which the UN claims is a protected civilian object under international law and probably is a war crime.

      Yeah, I think that is the extraordinary part. They’re not even saying that they were bombing the hospital to kill terrorists or take out a base, but to take out a single camera that could “track army movement”. Israel is clearly not even trying to keep the facade up.

      Also wonder how many other cases there have been of Israel bombing two places and saying that people dead from one place justified the other when international press wasn’t around. Seemed practiced.
