“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don’t protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. … We lose our lives for no reason.”

    What an unbelievably badly one-sided way of writing an article! Date - Israel did this; date - Israel did that; date - Israel did the other.

    If you’re just scanning the page you’d get the impression Israel are constantly attacking Palestinians for no reason. But in most of the paragraphs you just read on a bit to get the background: IDF said, and Hamas confirmed, that their fighters shot first.

    The vast majority of that article could be rewritten as: Date - Hamas attacked Israel who responded in self-defence.
