In reply to the discussion: Israel committing genocide in Gaza, world's top scholars on the crime say [View all]Uncle Joe
(63,071 posts)15. I would agree with some of what you post but the entity most responsible for any
"abrogation of journalistic duty" in regards to covering the probable genocide and definite ethnic cleansing taking place in Gaza is Netanyahu's government in barring the world's journalists from covering this on going tragedy while deliberately targeting, and breaking records in the killing of Palestinian journalists that are or were in Gaza.
The truth will set you free and apparently Israel's government is doing everything under the sun to hide truth from the world. They wouldn't even allow U.S. Senators to fly in air drop flights over Gaza.

Senator Chris Van Hollen has said Israel has denied him and Senator Jeff Merkley permission to join a Jordanian flight to airdrop food in Gaza.
Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gaza the best way to get food to starving people there so Jordan is delivering some with air drops, Van Hollen wrote on X.
The Jordanians said Senator Jeff Merkley and I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorisation for our scheduled flight.
He added that Israel had also denied the duos entry into Gaza to see first-hand the destruction of Gaza.

Apparently Senator Chris Van Hollen still has his Twitter/X account and one can view him and Senator Jeff Merkley's statement on this link.
The circumstantial evidence for genocide is overwhelming and one can't blame Hamas for not allowing baby food into Gaza.
Power abhors a vacuum, that includes journalistic power, and Netanyahu has no one to blame but himself and the fascist members of his government for the world drawing its' own conclusions based in large part on his actions; which are visible.
