Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Without Googling anything I would guess about 60% of those were killed by Israel within the last month.

68 out of 100 dead were killed by Israeli forces.

They chose not to imprison 68 journalists.

Israel is worse than Russia.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


“The imperative for a new global standard for the protection of journalists and effective international enforcement has never been greater,” said the IFJ president, Dominique Pradalié.

The group said 68 journalists had been killed covering the Israeli-Gaza war since Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October – more than one a day and accounting for 72% of all media deaths worldwide this year.

It said the overwhelming majority of them were Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip, where Israeli forces continue their offensive.

It expressed concern that crimes against media workers were going unpunished and urged governments “to shed full light on these murders and to put in place measures to ensure the safety of journalists”.

In Africa, the organisation referred to “four particularly shocking murders”, two in Cameroon and one each in Sudan and Lesotho, “which have failed to be fully investigated to date”.

The biggest number were jailed in China and Hong Kong – 80 journalists – followed by 54 in Myanmar, 41 in Turkey, 40 in Russia and Russian-occupied Crimea, 35 in Belarus and 23 in Egypt.
