BBC journalists held at gunpoint by Israeli police
A BBC Arabic team was driving to back to a hotel when they were stopped and dragged from their car.
You're viewing a single thread.
The BBC Arabic team and two reporters with Arab sounding names were treated poorly by police.
This could either be a case of racism, or targeting the media, and we don't have enough data to determine which. Neither is a good look
those IDF soldiers would have to be pretty fucking stupid to accidentally do a hate crime on the large van marked "TV" when there are plenty of other people in beating range they could do a hate crime on with no consequences.
Hanlon's razor be damned this was 100% on purpose.
Edit: and it's not like Israel has a history of killing journalists or anything. Please don't look up "Shireen Abu Aqla", nothing to see there
Edit edit: Shireen ain't the only one, ~20 in 20 years.
why would they have to be stupid?
Have you not been paying attention? Israel literally gets away with murder. day in and day out. People and countries are bending over backwards to ignore every atrocity, human rights violation, and warcrime, to paint them as a poor victim.
I guarantee they could have shot those BBC reporters, execution style, in the street, on film, and absolutely nothing would have come from it.
Exactly I can't even recall the last time Israel paid a consequence for any of their crimes against the Palestinian people
You guarantee isreali police could have executed a handful of full British citizens on the street and nothing would happen? On top of that, British press.
You guarantee? Haha some people on this site.
They're British not middle Eastern, unfortunately for equality and progression there's actually a significant difference.
In the very recent past they shot an American-Palestinian journalist in the neck and then attacked people at her funeral and ripped the flag off her hearse
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Interesting read, I opted to look at the source material instead of the YouTube video because YouTube lol.
Apparently she was shot from 200+ meters away as a deliberate assassination which Isreal denied. A mass execution up close of all-british citizens would be treated differently because it's a different situation
"Ah yes, you presented evidence that proves your point and disproves mine, but Im going to reject it so I don't have to admit I'm wrong"
You do understand how hypocritical you sound? No one in their right mind looks at one source of information especially YouTube and thinks they understand the whole picture.
Plus, you'll never cave in and check out independent sources because you're blind to a proper debate. I can't argue with someone like that
Well they are at "war" now so unfortunately mistakes happen like executing the press. /S
Seriously it's not hard to see how they could upgrade from assassination to more close and personal assassination. They really havent faced consequences that would make them think to stop.
I mean, Israeli Police regularly did both before this conflict escalated again, so does it even matter?
This has been going on for years and years even when there is no particular conflict.
