Geez. The article doesn't mention until paragraph six of seven:

"Separately, The Associated Press reported that an Israeli shell landed among a group of international journalists killing the Reuters journalist and injuring six others."

It's crazy that it's not even news that Israel is launching shells at journalists.

they are the most moral army in the world. they told me themselves.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I’m pretty sure I remember them saying “Im moral” or something like that.

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

you have never heard them mention how kind they are? They occasionally message a block of flats to warn people they will level it. No other army does this.

SEO and marketing tracking is to be blamed. They keep what you are looking for at the very bottom.

The more time you spend the more money they earn.

I knew there had to be a reason that it's become impossible to find the actual recipe without scrolling through a massive wall of absolute nonsense.

I've often wondered why there's no justthefuckingrecipe.com

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah I just look for the “print recipe” link which is usually in volume 6 of the blog

[–] Maven@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

There is, actually, it's justtherecipe.com

[–] SmashingSquid@notyour.rodeo 4 points 1 year ago

A lot of sites have a “jump to recipe “ button so you can skip their life story.

I thought about an HTML website with 26 pages. One for every letter in the alphabet and one sentence at the top of each page "Ctrl-F the dish"

[–] Hegar@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes please, I will happily pay you absolutely nothing to make this.

PS - off topic I know but this is one of those examples of how inefficient and nonsensical capitalism is as a way of organizing our society. Here as so often the market has proven its just not capable of meeting our society's need.

And it would probably cost me next to nothing to run since it's just text and HTML formatting.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Add some CSS and sprinkle some JS on it, for a good UX.

Welcome to Israel. Reminder that Shireen was also an American citizen. Pretty sure nobody's gonna bat an eye about this either.

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For anyone trying to catch up on things, Shireen Abu Akleh was an experienced Palestinian American journalist killed by the Israeli Defense Force in May of last year. It didn't make it into most mainstream news, but among people who pay attention to these things, it was shocking to see an American journalist murdered by state violence, but unlike Jamaal Khoshogi, the US state department refused to investigate or condemn Israel's actions even after investigations showed it to be implausible that the soldier who killed her wasn't aware of what they were doing.

[–] P1r4nha@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Her funeral was attacked by Israeli police because they supposedly carried her coffin to the wrong place. Horrible story.

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Also the hospital she was treated at before she died.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There was also the American girl that got ran over by a bulldozer..... Slowly.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Corrie

Did I mention they call the bulldozer the "Teddy bear", as in something you send to a child who's in emotional turmoil.

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 64 points 1 year ago

I was watching Al Jazeera English as they reported this and it was in no way an accident. The journalists from Reuters, Associated Press, etc. were traveling with them in a convoy of vehicles together wearing all the “PRESS” stuff and making their location known. They were in Lebanon nowhere near any militants so this should be investigated.

Reuters paying the price for the white phosphorous story.

US politicians fucking love regimes that murder reporters

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

If you’re also referring to Saudi Arabia, I wouldn’t say the US loves them

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The US doesn't love them, they just love selling weapons to them

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Several Billions of dollars worth per year.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The US doesn't love them...

Our politicians do tho. When there's only two possible options for each election, the wealthy can just "donate" to both.

And Saudi Arabia is pretty fucking wealthy. What's a couple tens of millions in PAC donations if it guarantees your guy wins? They'd be stupid to just back one and risk losing.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Are they going to deny this one for months too like the last one until and independent investigation can confirm unequivocally that it was an Israeli munition?
