Ask MSNBC, who sidelined Ayman Mohyeldin, Ali Velshi, and Mehdi Hasan. American journalists are just protecting their jobs.
Outrage machine is currently too busy targeting:
- Joe Biden Committed Treason!
- Activist Judges Target Trump For No Reason!
- Women /Should Actually/ Just Die Because Abortion Bad!
As such we regret to inform you that the American Consciousness has no more capacity to absorb journalistic outrage of any other kind, at this time.

Outrage is a antisemitic
Well, here in America, both major parties support Israel 100%. My assumption would be that, since most people who are into politics here are either Democrat or Republican, it’s easier to remain silent when you learn about our allies committing war crimes rather than tacitly admit you will support it by voting for these same people again later this year.
I think western journalists are committing a grave mistake by assuming the desensitization to journalist killings will be isolated to Gaza. At a certain point you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.
I don’t know why, but this is like the darkest comment ever. I have read a lot of dark or even nihilist gibberish… but fuck your words should ring like a gong across the world.
They’ve been killing journalists for years with no consequences and no Western outrage. In 2022 they killed a Palestinian journalist who was an American citizen and Biden had nothing to say about it.
1 in 10 journalists in Gaza have been killed, 112 is the most recent I could find.
This is a huge escalation. The outrage now is coming from the “human shields” lie running out of credibility.
I’m sorry, I ran out of outrage in 2019.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The face of Al Jazeera’s reporting throughout Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza was on air in October when he learned that his wife, seven-year-old daughter, 15-year-old son and one-year-old grandson were killed in an attack.
Hamza and his colleague, Mustafa Thuraya, a videographer for Agence France Press, were the latest of scores of journalists killed by Israel in its assault on Gaza in response to the Hamas cross-border attack in October.
If so, it’s a war crime and, as Al Jazeera has demanded, the international criminal court should add these killings to its investigation of Israel’s other alleged breaches of the Geneva conventions across occupied Palestine.
Even reporting from Gaza during the second intifada 20 years ago, when the Israeli military regularly invaded, bombed and flattened Palestinian neighbourhoods, did not feel especially unsafe compared with other regions.
Miller’s killing looked to be part of a pattern of ill-disciplined Israeli soldiers shooting whoever they felt like – not only journalists but UN officials and aid workers as well as Palestinian children.
Israeli politicians were quick to call for the “elimination” of a number of Palestinian journalists working for foreign news organisations who were falsely accused by a pro-Israel pressure group in the US of being “embedded with Hamas” on 7 October.
