  1. WHY HAS IT TAKEN 70+ DAYS FOR NBC TO REPORT ON THIS?!

  2. 68? The number is almost 100

  3. Wake up Americans this is where our money is going while we send them money so they can keep building their already great military their citizens many don't work and have free universal Healthcare housing from stolen land/homes sad you don't or choose not to see..they treat Muslims Christians like garbage go and see gentiles

  4. Idf rules of engagement stands for
    I don’t follow rules of engagement
    All the while USA is their puppet lying to the world pretending not to see these atrocities.

  5. free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

  6. These headlines are so watered down and misleading. It should read "At least 73 Journalists have been Killed By Israeli Airstrikes in 73 Days"

  7. They would still be alive if Trump was present because it never would have happened.

  8. Israel is a war criminal. Shame

  9. Glad to see mainstream media is finally catching up to what everyone else has been seeing online. I used to be a regular watcher of these news shows but they have lost my support over the past few years and especially since 10/7. We’ve been seeing the destruction every day reported out by these journalists. Shame on our country and mainstream outlets for not reporting accurately- and only showing the IDF side of things. We are waking up to this hypocrisy!!

  10. No ethics, no morals, just pure arrogance. This is the beginning of the end for this apartheid state. Do they not recall the fate of those who wrong the innocent, and the children? Even Pharaoh, in all his might and power, met a downfall.

  11. not journalists. propagandists

  12. They want to wonder around in a war zone

  13. propagandist or neutral journalist?

  14. How many of them were members of Hamas?

  15. I mean, they're voluntarily going into a war zone, what do they expect? That's like having a death wish.

  16. Human Rights Abuser. That is the image of modern US in the eyes of the whole world now. Thanks to Geniocide Joe.

  17. – Netanyahu let the attack happen on his own country, despite knowing about the attack 3 days before it happened.
    – Music festival was organised with lot of foreigners just few miles away from the border. On whose order?
    – Music festival was extended by one day as the attack did not happen when it was thought to happen. Music festival was extended on whose order?
    – Noticing that music festival casualty were less, used IDF to increase the casualties in the music festival. On whose order?

  18. Those number were checked? // In the first 11 months of 2023, 45 journalists were killed carrying out their work, down from 61 last year, according to the annual report by RSF.
    It was the smallest number since 33 died in 2002, largely due to a major drop in Latin America. While some 63 journalists have been killed in the MIDDLE EAST since the Oct. 7 start of fighting between Israel and Islamist group HAMAS, only 17 of those deaths fell under RSF's definition…. Of the 84 journalists counted as missing worldwide, about a third are MEXICAN The number of jailed reporters declined to 521 from 569 in 2022, with BELARUS joining CHINA and MYANMAR as "one of the three biggest prisons in the world…TURKEY and IRAN also repeatedly jail journalists, the report said. A total of 54 journalists are being held hostage, compared to 65 in 2022. (VOA Agence France-Presse, December 14, 2023).

  19. They got killed in an active war zone? How did that happen 😂

  20. We are witnessing a catastrophe live on television, and no one is doing anything to stop it. Over 20000 people have been killed, of which over 7000 are innocent children. Extensive bombing over civilian areas, schools, hospitals, and refugee camps. The cut of water, electricity, food, medicine, and fuel to 2.2 million people… This is not a war against Hamas, this is just a war against the people. Disgraceful is to watch. The countries who support this or those who stay silent.

  21. Israel doesn’t want the world to see what they are doing. They have purposely killed journalists who can provide an eye witness account

  22. Say what you arabics always say (its gods will right)
