    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.

      As a propagandist, he’s putting all the legitimate journalists in danger.

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