Al Jazeera cameraman Ahmed Wishah killed in Israeli strike on Gaza

The US media seems to be ignoring Israel's continuing attacks on Gaza. The latest is an Al-Jazeera cameraman. They keep killing journalists and claiming they're Hamas operatives while providing no evidence. Israel has murdered at least 260 journalists in Gaza and probably a greater number of doctors, nurses, and aid workers. Some deaths might have been inadvertent, but the IDF has executed many such people on purpose to keep their atrocities against the Palestinians secret.

“All of Lebanon needs to burn!” Ben Gvir had posted to his X feed.

We start our morning M-F with Democracy Now and the only way I her reporting - other than when we put on Al Jazeera or sometimes BBC. My older relatives left Israel and settled in France back during the last bombing of Lebanon. Their children and grandchildren are still there so we get news fairly frequently from them and i have more distant younger family still in Israel working with peace organizations trying to make sense of the senseless. I haven’t been back in more than two years and not sure I ever will again.
