What it does establish though is the possibility of action to be taken in the future. If found culpable then those giving orders in the Israeli government should be taken to task.

Of course the UN is biased.

Oct 7th was a genocidal act.

Anyone who criticises Netanyahu's actions is biased.

On 11 May 1949, the General Assembly by the requisite two-thirds majority approved the application to admit Israel to the UN by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 273. The vote in the General Assembly was 37 to 12, with 9 abstentions.

But on the substantive point, Netanyahu is a bad egg and his eventual come uppance will be an interesting event.

'Overhead' in Israel on 10 September. Netanyahu: "We've killed all the journalists in Gaza. Anymore within bombing distance?"

'Israeli strikes' on Yemen newspaper offices 'mark deadliest attack on press in 16 years'

The 26 September newspaper is the official outlet of the Yemeni army, which is under the control of Houthi rebels in Sanaa.

Israeli strikes on newspaper offices in Yemen killed 31 journalists and media support workers, according to the outlet struck and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).

Nasser al Khadri, editor-in-chief of the publication 26 September, told the CPJ that the offices in Sanaa were hit on the afternoon of 10 September.

A child, who had accompanied a journalist to work, was among the dead, Mr al Khadri said, while 22 journalists were injured.

The reported attack by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) marked the deadliest single strike on the press since 2009, according to the CPJ.

That year, 32 journalists were killed when a convoy was ambushed in the Maguindanao massacre in the Philippines.

Bearing in mind that Israel is under attack from Yemen, what would you have said if Britain had bombed Goebbels' press/propaganda office with him inside during WW2?

You need to follow international law and not target journalists.

I know 7 Bells as the name of a pub. It's never been a euphemism for killing 66,000 people.

Maybe there's a pub somewhere named 'Final Warning' or 'Last Chance Saloon'

I won't bother searching but be my guest

and not get hot miked bragging about it or else the world will think there's a reason why you don't want journalists there reporting on what you're doing

I've just (finally) looked at the link (Sky News) that Andrew posted.

I see nothing relating to 'overheard' or a hot mike situation.

I do see that it states "The 26 September newspaper is the official outlet of the Yemeni army, which is under the control of Houthi rebels in Sanaa."

Are they the ones throwing occasional missiles?

It was Gaza those remarks were overheard about and if you don't think they're being targeted talk to my nephew who knew literally dozens of them or just look on Wikipedia for journalists killed in gaza war, disturbing reading and indefensible

I thought journalists were banned from Gaza anyway ?
