From UNESCO to The Committee to Protect Journalists, here is a shocking list of journalists killed by Israel and militant groups over the last 20+ years, in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Gaza Strip to aid carrying ships sailing in international waters.
The death count is 29 by Israel; 3 by the groups linked to Fatah/PLO; & 1 by an obscure militant group in Gaza.
The much regrettable list (with hyperlinks to factual reporting by the Guardian, Reuters, Al-Jazeera, CNN, etc.,) confirming the killings, speak volumes.
The list should really serve as a wakeup call for the global mass media to unshackle itself from its shameful and biased reporting on Israel.
