Excerpt:
The team’s interrogation lasted more than two hours, during which all our phones and laptops were examined, and many photos - including personal ones - were deleted. The officer threatened us with worse consequences if we approached the frontier from the Syrian side again, and said that they know everything about us and would track us down if any hidden or un-deleted photo was ever published.
They are Western. Harder to dismiss them as Hamas like the 220 Palestinian journalists they’ve murdered
I could have sworn they’ve killed BBC journalists before, but there’s none on that list so you may be right.
They’ve banned all Western journalists from Gaza so they don’t have witnesses from Corproate media. I don’t think media are complaining as it makes their job of whitewashing genocide easier.
It’s getting harder and harder to frame the IDF as the victims.
Similarly, it’s pretty hard to claim you’re the victim when you knocked your neighbor unconscious, dragged them into the basement, and beat them with a baseball bat for the next 24 hours.
I don’t know about BBC but I’m sure international and western journalists have been killed or arrested before.
