Israel Claims Journos They Killed Don't Count
What was said
"I also think that CPJ's board is comprised almost entirely of leaders of mainstream media, New York Times, Fox News, you know, NBC, the list goes on. And these are organizations whose complicity in the ongoing genocide is really being highlighted and emphasized. Also, the IDF I wonder if I can find it. The IDF even tweeted at you, Na, a bizarre Spongebob meme."
The Israeli Defense Forces' official Twitter account directly engaged with the CPJ board controversy by tweeting a Spongebob meme at Nika Sununang and also posted an 'I told you so' message when the story broke. Sununang noted that CPJ's board is composed almost entirely of leaders from mainstream media organizations like the New York Times, Fox News, and NBC, whose complicity in covering the Gaza conflict is being questioned.
