Someone explain this to me?

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?

I am tired of Bibi's hiding behind "intent". This is the same fucking excuse American Presidents of both parties used to excuse taking more and more land from Natives. 

I fucking take this very personally, beacuse I have a communication degree and have interned in TV and worked in Radio. Bibi is scating on thin ice with me, not that he hasn't for decades. But certianly now far more than ever. I don't give a shit that he gave a "warning". To me to media, that is no different to me than how Trump and Spicer have treated dissent. 

If the issue was Hamas rockets, why are you targeting a building that houses even the AP? The Associated Press is not Hamas, or ISIS or even Fox News. "Nobody died" is the same bullshit Spicer used in his first presser too. It was still a direct threat to journalism to not question authority.

I'm sorry - I have a really nasty headache.  I have read this three times...you have a communication degree????   Seriously?  In what language/medium?

Yes I have a college degree. Sorry that bothers you.

That was not an answer to my question.

I personally thought the 'Hamas assets' in the building was bullshit. The Israelis have way too much incentive to interfere with journalists in the area.

Disagree. Hamas have a long history of locating both munitions and personnel in densely populated civilian areas - either openly or in secret - and are perversely proud of this human shield policy. And the Israelis have plenty of other ways to interfere with the reportage on the conflict. It doesn't really make a lot of political or military sense to destroy a building with rockets just to scare journalists.

They've destroyed three media buildings that supposedly held Hamas assets in the past week. That's a little more than coincidental. The point is not to scare journalists but to disrupt operations so that reporting of events and humanitarian concerns is less likely to occur. News operations are just like any other business. You destroy their headquarters and operations are affected.
