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/ We continue our investigation into the "evidence" Isaac Chotiner cited to call Palestinians mass rapists.
Our first thread exposed lies in Chotiner's first 3 sentences. This thread will examine the dehumanizing lies Chotiner pushed in sentence 4.
It will be a long thread.
2/ Reminder of context: Chotiner was fed incompetent, obvious propaganda.
- "haven’t interviewed actual witnesses"
- "not equipped to talk to [victims]"
- "we don’t work on issues like this"
- "they did not come prepared to collect the testimony and collect the evidence"
3/ Instead of the signature Chotiner interview style -- letting an incompetent subject expose themselves -- he meticulously crafted an introduction to make the reader believe the racist narrative of Palestinian rapists.
Not a single account in Chotiner's introduction is true.
1/ Isaac Chotiner was one of the most consequential disseminators of the mass rape lie used to justify genocide.
(Thread 1 of 2 on this New Yorker article by Chotiner.)
2/ A few weeks before Chotiner helped PHRI spread the "Palestinians are mass rapists" propaganda, the Israeli government ran a focus group for genocide propaganda.
