    No, he’s not a journalist. He’s a propagandist working for the Russian government.

      Propagandist is your opinion. He’s a journalist because of the press pass that he’s holding, that’s why I used the literally signifier.

        I think I’ve missed the part where he said it’s okay to bomb unarmed people, can you point it out?

          journalists are protected under international humanitarian law in war zones by saying he is not a journalist he is alluding that that person deserve to die for being a propagandist

        Because I noted that he’s a propagandist, you think I supported his being bombed? That’s all you, my friend. I said nothing about that.

              You may not realize this, but being a journalist provides him with protections. As a journalist he should not be a target, same as a medic. No matter whose side he is on, he is not a target. By attempting to strip him of this title, you would also be stripping him of his legal protection from military targeting.
              Most people agree that journalists (even “enemy” journalists) should not be targeted by weapons, for what should be fairly obvious moral reasons.
              I hope you understand now why you are experiencing such a huge level of disagreement here.

                  No, he isn’t. That would be the IDF. They don’t have the right to bomb journalists, regardless of legitimacy.
