When I saw this earlier this morning, I was so revolted and furious by the laughing emoji and arrogance of this non-journalist that I had to gather myself before commenting.
The comment and emoji are infuriating because Israel's murder of journalists is not f*cking funny (and no, it's not "dark humour", its tasteless and inconsiderate).
Israel has murdered 189 Palestinian journalists in Gaza since October 2023 alone, as well as maining still more journalists (like Fadi al-Wahidi who was sniped in his neck and fell into a coma, denied exit for urgently needed medical treatment).
Making light of Israel's targeting of journalists is disgusting. Calling journalists who weather body armour "dressed like idiots" is ignorant, pompous and belittling.
If you were considering supporting Murray's request for 60,000 Pounds to "report" from Beirut, give your donations to courageous Palestinian and Lebanese journalists whi actually put their lives on the line to bring us truth, not to smugly gloat.
