There's plenty of live footage of IDF forces targeting international aid workers and journalists.

"fun" fact: more journalists died in the Gaza than in every conflict since ww2 combined.

And WW2 only has more journalist deaths because some number of the genocide casualties had been journalists before the Holocaust.

Being a journalist typically provides you some protection in times of war, but for journalists who are part of a group suffering genocide, it's a liability.

From where I sit nobody is questioning that the Israelis are supposed to be the good guys in this story. But the stories coming from the region are horrific! Is it true that it is the official policy of the IDF to shoot to kill children who throw stones at them?

Plus because Israel is making serious efforts to choke off all information from the region, I understand that it takes some time before a sober accounting of an incident like this reaches the outside world. To avoid the charged rhetoric I have waited. Yet the point blank executions of humanitarian workers is still shocking to me. Such reckless hate, it must destroy a person.

By being good guys, you surely mean by being white guys colonizing a territory, exproprating previous land owners and bringing death and despair all around them. Sounds right, that is the history of white colonization.

Im questioning whether the Israelis are the good guys. Frankly I don’t know how you can look at their history of provocation and unbalanced retaliation and not begin to wonder if maybe they aren’t the good guys

That's a baffling claim.

Israelis emphatically not being "the good guys in this story" is a very mainstream (though not necessarily majority) view in every country in the world, possibly with the exception of Israel itself.

The slaughter of journalists is documented throughout modern history - by the very people those journalists worked for.
