IDF says Murder is OK After Statistics Show Israel Killed 75% of All Journalists Who Died in 2023 While Covering Conflict Zones
An investigation by The Guardian (United Kingdom) found that Israel’s military considers media outlets affiliated with the resistance to its genocide in Gaza to be legitimate military targets.
Part of the so-called Gaza Project, an effort by the France-based Forbidden Stories NGO to analyze the killing of journalists in Gaza by Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the investigation determined that at least 103 journalists have died in the Gaza Strip since October 7. Roughly 30 percent of them worked for media outlets affiliated with Hamas.
At least 23 of the dead journalists worked for Al-Aqsa, which is considered to be the largest Hamas-linked media outlet. According to Israel, Hamas-linked journalists are the equivalent of Hamas militants, so their lives must be ended.
A senior Israeli army spokesman commented that there is “no difference” between working for a Hamas-linked media outlet and being a member of the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas.
“It’s a shocking statement … a complete misunderstanding or just a willful disregard for international law,” said Adil Haque, a professor of law at Rutgers University in New Jersey, about Israel’s callous disregard for human life.
(Related: Did you know that Western media sources are claiming without evidence that Hezbollah is “storing missiles and explosives at Lebanon’s main airport” in order to justify Israel’s apparently planned bombing of Beirut primary international transit hub?)
Israel has been bombing Al-Aqsa offices since long before October 7
Israel’s aggression against opposition journalists is not something new since October 7. It has been going on since at least 2019 when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed an order designating the network as a terrorist organization.
Whenever Israel decides it does not like something and wants it destroyed, it simply brands its targets as “terrorists.” When women, children and other innocents end up dying in large numbers, Israel simply uses the “human shield” excuse to disregard their lives as well.
By painting Al-Aqsa with the broad brush of terrorism, Netanyahu created “a blank check,” to quote legal experts who looked into the declaration, for IDF militants to indiscriminately murder journalists affiliated with the network.
At the start of the current Israeli genocide in Gaza back on October 7, Al-Aqsa’s offices were evacuated almost immediately because it was recognized that Israel would surely target the facility for bombings.
One Israeli source admitted to investigators that there has been “a permissive approach to targeting across” the Army when it comes to who is permissible to shoot or bomb as an “enemy.”
Another source who is privy to the legal advice given to IDF militants concerning who is a legitimate target during wartime also said that journalists affiliated with Hamas exist within a “grey zone” due to a “problematic view” within the Israeli military that “whenever there’s someone getting a salary ultimately from Hamas,” they become a legitimate target.
The U.S.-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) learned that more than 75 percent of all journalists who died in 2023 as a whole were killed by the Israeli military in Gaza. No other country behaves as savagely against its opposition than Israel, in other words.
It turns out that many of the journalists who were murdered by Israel in 2023 did not even have anything to do with Hamas. One of them, Hamza Dahdouh, the son of Al Jazeera bureau chief Wael Dahdouh, was bombed to death in an IDF airstrike on January 7.
Dahdouh died alongside fellow journalist Mustafa Thuraya as the two were reporting on the damage caused by IDF militants on a residential area between the southern Gaza cities of Khan Yunis and Rafah.

Polish Priest ‘Tortured In Custody,’ Sparking Outrage
Father Michał Olszewski, head of the Profeto Foundation, has described harrowing conditions during his detention at the Warsaw-Służewiec jail, alleging serious abuse, including denial of water and restroom access, and degrading treatment. His attorney, Krzysztof Wąsowski, has announced plans to seek intervention from both the Polish commissioner for human rights and international organizations.
Father Olszewski, who was arrested in late March amidst allegations involving the Justice Fund scandal, conveyed his experiences in a private letter that has now been made public by Sieci weekly and daily Gazeta Polska. According to the letter, his handcuffs were not removed even during moments of duress, leading to severe personal indignities. The priest describes being offered a half bottle of tap water and being told to urinate in a bottle in his cell. Additionally, he faced constant surveillance and was awakened hourly by lights throughout his first two weeks in custody.
“It turned out that I was under ‘special surveillance.’ Hence, the camera and handcuffs, even during walks, isolation from others […], being woken up by lights every hour throughout the night! That was the situation for the first two weeks,” the priest describes.
Attorney Krzysztof Wąsowski is calling it “a scandal on at least a European scale.” Media reports have fueled public and legal scrutiny, citing a systemic return to torturous practices in Poland, which violate both national and international law against cruel and dehumanizing treatment.
Practices such as denying water and toilet access have been classified as torture and degrading treatment under international conventions. According to the 1984 UN Convention against Torture, the term “torture” means “any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed.” Article 40 of the Polish constitution states: “No one shall be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment. The use of corporal punishment is prohibited.”
The district court in Warsaw recently extended Father Olszewski’s detention by another three months, despite objections from his legal team about procedural mishandling and alleged bias in the judiciary. In response, Wąsowski has criticized the court’s decision, arguing that it reflects a lack of engagement with the full material facts of the case and indicating a potentially prejudiced stance against his client.
The Justice Fund scandal, in which Father Olszewski is a suspect, involves allegations by prosecutors that €66 million in a special fund may have been misused under the former conservative justice minister, Zbigniew Ziobro.

Colonel Macgregor: Biden’s Cognitive Decline Makes it Obvious the US Gov’t is in ‘Unelected Hands’
(LifeSiteNews) — Retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor has said that “the governing power” of the U.S. lies “in unelected hands” after the first presidential debate highlighting President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline to the whole world.
In a video message published on the YouTube channel Our Country Our Choice, MacGregor expressed his concern for the U.S. after Biden’s catastrophic showing in the first presidential debate on June 27.
“President Biden is not fit to discharge the immense duties of the presidency,” the army veteran stated. “The alarming evidence of his cognitive decline was on display for all to witness. Yet his enablers and political allies continue to exploit the president to substitute their destructive agenda for the interests of the American people.”
“Destructive executive orders and policy directives, many of which were likely signed when President Biden was in a rapidly diminished state of mind, inflicted tremendous damage on our nation,” he said.
Macgregor criticized the Biden administration for facilitating mass illegal immigration, destructive climate change policies, and the waging of foreign wars in Ukraine and Israel.
“President Biden’s manipulators fueled a proxy war in Ukraine that risks drawing us into a catastrophic confrontation with nuclear-armed Russia,” the retired Colonel said. “Their unqualified support for Israel’s disproportionate actions in Gaza erodes our moral authority and credibility as a champion of peace and stability.”
“Sadly, President Biden’s fragile mental state was laid bare for all to see in last night’s debate,” he observed. “His responses were frequently incoherent. He appeared lost, even confused, struggling to complete basic thoughts.”
READ: Biden makes poor showing in debate against Trump
“It is time to ask: who truly governs this country?” Macgregor said. “Is it we the people, as our founders intended, or have we surrendered control to unelected bureaucrats, sprawling federal agencies, and affluent donors who do not have the best interests of ordinary Americans at heart?”
“President Biden should retire with grace and dignity and not be cruelly exploited in the twilight of his life,” the Colonel noted.
“To say it’s a national shame is an understatement,” he added. “This travesty should end immediately. It is now obvious that the governing power to determine our nation’s destiny lies in unelected hands.”
“It’s time for Americans to demand a new government that is legitimate. One that is devoted to peace abroad and prosperity at home,” Macgregor concluded.
Democrats and Republicans alike acknowledged Biden’s poor performance in the debate less than five months before the 2024 presidential elections. A CNN anchor said, “Democrats I’m talking to are nearly beside themselves.”
The 81-year-old Joe Biden appeared noticeably disoriented during the debate, generating anxiety among Democrats and sparking renewed speculation about potential plans to replace him with a more viable candidate.
CNN blocked independents from streaming, so LifeSiteNews gave a faithful Catholic reaction to the first major election event instead of live-streaming the debate.

Nickelodeon Features Drag Queen in Latest LGBTQIAAP2S+ Pride Grooming Video for Kids
Children’s network Nickelodeon has released a video for LGBT pride month that features a drag queen, grooming the next generation for immoral homosexuality.
The said video featured drag queen Nina West (born Andrew Robert Leavitt), who explained the meaning of the different colors of the “Progress Pride” flagand the people they represent. West’s explanation perverted the original meaning of the rainbow, which the LGBT movement has appropriated.
“Red means life, because living is a gift. Orange means healing, and we have to persist in working to heal the world and healing ourselves. Yellow means sunlight, because you’ve gotta shine bright. Green means nature, and we’ve gotta fight to keep our earth a thriving home for life,” West sang.
“Blue means harmony, working together. Purple means spirit, believing you have the power and strength within yourself to do whatever you dream.”
The drag queen then pointed to the other colors of the said flag, which are ostensibly meant to represent “transgender” individuals and minorities.
“Baby blue, pink and white represent transgender people, because every letter in LGBTQ+ is equal. And black and brown represent the queer and trans people of color.”
According to Modernity News, the aforementioned video was posted on YouTube Kids, which is meant for younger viewers. This only bolsters the fact that Nickelodeon’s video featuring the drag queen is meant to groom children.
Free speech activist Philip Anderson remarked that the video was the reason he and his family no longer watch Nickelodeon. Author and branding consultant Marc Rudov quickly pointed his finger at “woke parents” for the video as they tolerated it.
X user @justjamietx meanwhile wondered: “Was this released after the documentary came out exposing the sexual abuses going on there?” The documentary they mentioned was “Quiet on Set,” which exposed the sexual assaults experienced by various Nickelodeon stars at the hands of production staff.

Not the first time drag queen West groomed kids for the network
This was not the first time West, who starred in the eleventh season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” made content promoting LGBT for Nickelodeon. In 2021, the drag queen voiced an animated version of himself for the children’s program “Blue’s Clues” – where he sang a ditty about “queer” identities in a video.
The sing-along clip aimed at preschoolers was posted to Nickelodeon’s YouTube channel. It showed the cartoon dog introducing a procession of animals with various “queer” identities as West sang along. During the clip’s duration, the drag queen sang about all types of family arrangements – including transgender, gay and supposed “non-binary” parents and children – but made no mention of heterosexual families.
“This family has two mommies, they love each other so proudly, and they all go marching in the big parade,” the animated drag queen sang into a microphone emblazoned with a solidarity fist – the latter often used by the Black Lives Matter movement.
The cartoon West continued: “All families are made differently, they love each other proudly. Love is love is love, you see – and everyone should love proudly.”

Irish Teacher Released After 400+ Days in Jail Over Refusal to use Transgender Pronouns
DUBLIN, Ireland (LifeSiteNews) — A Christian teacher in Ireland was freed after serving more than 400 days in jail as part of a dispute born out of his refusal to address a transgender pupil by biologically inaccurate pronouns.
On June 28, Mr. Justice Mark Sanfey of the High Court in Dublin ordered that Enoch Burke could be released from the Mountjoy prison, where he has been kept since September 2022.
Irish media reported that Justice Sanfey ordered Burke to be released now that Irish schools are on their summer recess but that the teacher risked returning to jail if he breaks conditions of his release. Those conditions include a ban on him returning to the Church of Ireland Wilson’s Hospital secondary school in Multyfarnham, Co Westmeath, where Burke taught.
The saga surrounding the jailed teacher has been ongoing since 2022. Burke, a teacher of history and German, refused to comply with his school principal’s May 9, 2022, order to use a female name and pronoun for a male student who was in the process of “transitioning.”
This decision set him on a course that ultimately led to his imprisonment. He was placed on paid administrative leave in August 2022 while the school board held a disciplinary process, but when he continued to come to the school, he was served an order to ban him from entering – something he also ignored.
He was then arrested for contempt of court on September 5, 2022, while sitting in an empty classroom in the school. He was sentenced to jail for an unspecified period of time, until he either purged his contempt of court or until the court decreed otherwise. However, after 108 days in jail, he was released by the High Court after the judge argued that Burke was using his imprisonment for his own ends.
In January 2023, the school had issued a notice of dismissal to Burke. After Burke continued to present himself at the school from that month, incurring a daily fine of €700 every time, he was subsequently imprisoned once again in September 2023.
His current release is, as mentioned, due to the summer term holidays rather than the judge exonerating Burke, with the very real threat of future jail time if the former teacher returns to his school.
Burke has consistently maintained that his imprisonment and firing from the school are unjust, stating in January 2023 that the judge “wants to fine me for the profession of my religious beliefs.” He has also denied that he is in contempt of court.
His arrest and jail term are technically due to Burke’s refusal to comply with the court order to avoid the school rather than his refusal to use the transgender pronouns, though as highlighted by Gript Media, Burke has not been required to purge his “contempt of court” in being released on June 28.
The case has become a pivotal and divisive one in Ireland as the issue of transgender ideology becomes more aggressively prevalent in society.
Some have hailed Burke as a public champion in the cause against the growing acceptance of transgender ideology.

Others have argued that Burke’s jail term is due to his own continued refusal to accept his firing by the school and that he could walk free if he only agreed to not present himself at the school.
Burke is from a family of Evangelical Christians, who are well known in the public domain and the court rooms for their vocal stance in defense of Christian values in Irish society. Future developments in his case, and whether or not he will remain free from jail in the future, remains to be seen with his personal future being largely in his own hands.

Biden Ordered Amazon to Hide Books Criticizing Vaccines During Covid ‘Pandemic’
The House Judiciary Committee and Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government presented evidence this week to show that during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “pandemic,” President Biden and his regime coerced Amazon into hiding books on its platform that are critical of vaccines.
In obedience to the regime, Amazon reportedly reduced the visibility of certain key titles that the Biden regime considers to be a threat because they expose Big Pharma’s vaccine poisons.
Documents show that some of the books had nothing to do with COVID or COVID injections while others were written by medical professionals. Several of the titles are simply reviews of scientific studies that just so happen to address vaccine unsafety and ineffectiveness.
More than 40 books and materials in total were added to the Biden regime’s “Do Not Promote” list that Amazon ultimately censored from its platform all throughout the “pandemic” to stop the public from learning the truth.
(Related: If you got “vaccinated” for COVID, you are more likely to die early compared to your unvaccinated family and friends, a new study has found.)
Censorship is Biden’s forte
In a series of X posts, Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Oh.) publicly revealed some of the internal emails from Amazon employees that show “the impetus for this request,” meaning the request to block the books, “is criticism from the Biden Administration.”
“Internal emails reveal that Amazon initially added 43 books to its newly created ‘Do Not Promote’ class of allegedly anti-vaccine books,” Jordan wrote in one of his posts.
“These pro-censorship changes were being made ‘due to criticism from the Biden people.”
.@JudiciaryGOP and @Weaponization obtained internal Amazon documents showing that the urgent “impetus” for Amazon censoring books in March 2021 was “criticism from the Biden administration.”
— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) June 21, 2024
To censor the books, Amazon created a “new [Do Not Promote] class for anti-vax books.” pic.twitter.com/gM0VMYJ1qy
Even some children’s books were censored as part of the sweep because they were deemed to be too “friendly” towards the unvaccinated:
Before COVID, a children’s book author dared to draft a book for unvaccinated children facing discrimination, “especially in California or New York.”
— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) June 21, 2024
The author said the book “promotes love, understanding, and kindness to everyone.”
Biden and Amazon preach “tolerance.” Right? pic.twitter.com/9ZoCZqKeDv
A number of books aimed at teaching parents how to raise their children also got axed because the Biden regime found that they are too informational and persuasive in convincing parents to avoid toxic vaccines for their precious children.
“There is nothing the Biden Admin and the elites hate more than parents making their own decisions about their children’s education, health and values,” Jordan said along with a screenshot of The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child (Sears Parenting Library) by Robert W. Sears, MD.
Biden’s claim all during this time is that these books were full of “misinformation” that could harm the public, especially as Operation Warp Speed was getting off the ground. The truth, though, is that all of the books on the list are much too eye-opening about the dangers of vaccination for the regime’s liking.
The irony is that the Biden regime has repeatedly accused Republicans of engaging in nationwide book “ban” activity. The truth is this: the only side trying to ban books right now is the left.
“Don’t let the Biden Admin tell you that their censorship campaign was about concerns of misinformation going viral on social media,” Jordan contends. “They were going after BOOKS too. This is – and always has been – about suppressing disfavored views, not purported challenges of new technologies.”
If there is one thing the Biden regime is really good at, it is censorship. Learn more at Censorship.news.
