The fact that they were given time to evacuate proves that isn’t the case. This means ‘advance warning’ is crucial to understanding the story, so you absolutely SHOULD ‘give a shit’ about it.
And no, it wasn’t an attack on journalism’s infrastructure. It was an attack on Hamas intelligence officials who happed to be using the same buildings as the the journalists.

No I did NOT imply Israel as a entire population was inspiring to murder journalists. I AM HOWEVER saying what Bibi did today, even with his "warning" was akin to Spicer saying to journalists "know your place".
Sorry, fair point. I should have said ‘the Israel government’ or ‘the Israeli military’. But the point still stands that the objective of this was NOT to kill anyone. The IDF are very, very good at killing people. If they had wanted to, they would have.
I’ll try once more: this was not an attack on journalists or journalism. If Hamas has been using a bakery for cover and the Israelis destroyed the bakery, would that be an attack on cheesecake?
