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.

Israel killed 109 journalists & media workers in 3 months in 2023. CPJ under @jodieginsberg said these journalists were working a dangerous assignment and not targeted for "murder."
(If CPJ counted them at all.)
@jodieginsberg Since 7 Oct Israel killed 121 Palestinian journalists and media workers inside their own home.
Arlene Getz @arlenegetz decided that zero of these killings were murder, even when they were clearly targeted. Even though Israel specializes in targeting people at home.
1. NYPD ordered students out of the library because there might be a bomb (NYPD said) in the library. 2. NYPD brutalized and arrested students. 3. NYPD takes their prisoners ... to the library they just said might have a bomb in it.
2/ Before the arrests, just after the "bomb threat" the NYPD locked students (including non-protesting students) in the area they said had a potential bomb in it.
1/ The Dutch police are finally investigating the *Israelis* for their violent rampage across Amsterdam that was widely reported as an anti-semitic "pogrom."
This was an insane coordinated campaign to create a fake pogrom. Thread of 3 dozen collaborators:
