6/ The real number is 107 killed journalists, not 65, which means CPJ is willing to categorize less than 1% of the unprecedented number of journalists Israel killed in 2023 as murdered.
Shameful. CPJ's Palestine exception.
7/ How does CPJ categorize journalists Russia kills?
First, if we look at over 20 years of data we notice Russia killed less journalists (even using CPJ's massive undercount) than Israel killed in just 3 months!
8/ Out of those 59 journalists, CPJ claims Russia "murdered" exactly 39.
CPJ claims Russia murdered 61% of the journalists they killed, but claim Israel only murdered 1.5% (or less than 1% using honest numbers).
9/ Over the past two decades, Iran killed 5 journalists.
CPJ classifies 3 of the 5 (60%) journalists Iran killed as murdered.
The journalists Israel killed? 1.5% (or less than 1% using honest numbers).
10/ Over the past two decades, China killed 2 journalists.
CPJ classifies both (100%) of the journalists China killed as murdered.
Compare this to CPJ's 1.5% for the journalists Israel killed (or less than 1% using honest numbers).
11/ CPJ knows how to assign blame when they want to.
CPJ is too racist to say Israel murders journalists, even when Israel murders journalists in literally unprecedented numbers.
19/ Yes, CPJ, you can go with the outlandish claim that Israel only murdered 1.5% of the journalists they killed, often in their homes, often following incitement.
But it will destroy your organization.
This is too blatant. The crimes you are trying to hide are too large.
20/ CPJ is running cover for the world's worst journalist mass-murder spree in human history!
21/ We aren't going to lie, family, this is going to be a tough battle.
If CPJ classifies these killings honestly, their "Impunity Index" will look like this, which is why they will fight tooth and nail to avoid being honest.
21/ But their position is indefensible. Much like the last database we exposed that was targeting Palestinians, which no longer exists.
CPJ must, and will, stop using their database to lie about Palestinian journalists.
One point five percent. Shameful.

1/ Recently revealed documents exposed that Danny Kushmaro, of Israel's channel 12 News, is actually a violent extremist operating in coordination with a notorious group of militants.
These documents confirm that the militant was operating under cover as a "civilian journalist."
2/ These documents include video evidence of the militant "journalist" actively participating in the violence in Lebanon, including the illegal destruction of civilian houses.
This is the 8th Israeli "journalist" recently revealed to be a militant.
3/ The "journalist" Danny Kushmaro has a long history of affiliation with the violent militant organization, which has a history of war crimes. He achieved the rank of "Major" before posing as a civilian journalist.
As these documents reveal, he is still an active IDF militant.
1/ Let's talk about how the Committee to Protect Journalists, under the leadership of @jodieginsberg and @arlenegetz responded to the largest journalist mass-murder spree in human history. 🧵
2/ Jodie Ginsberg pretended to be stupid for as long as she could, arguing that experts just can't figure out if Israel's journalist mass-murder spree was intentional, or if the IDF was stumbling around accidentally murdering journalist after journalist, often in their homes.
"The only colonizers I know who were in Gush Katif were Palestinians. It was an empty place that Israel made into a paradise on Earth. 8,000 were displaced from their homes-this never happened to any Palestinian…
3/ Translation cont:
"… Today they must pay a price for their aggression. A price for their hatred. A price for those 1200 dead. A price for the blood that was shed and the tears of the mothers of soldiers who are now weeping. This price is the land…
