Journalist sacked for doing actual journalism at EU press conference (europeanjournalists.org)

News is from last year, but it's still dystopic for anyone that missed it:

At a European Commission press briefing in Brussels on 13 October, Nunziati asked the spokesperson Paula Pinho: “You’ve repeatedly said that Russia should pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you think Israel should also pay for the reconstruction of Gaza, given that it destroyed much of the Strip and its civilian infrastructure?”

on 27 October, the journalist received a letter terminating his working relationship with the news agency, which, however, did not specify the reasons for this decision.

The Agenzia Nova news agency told Fanpage.it that Nunziati’s question was “completely out of place and technically incorrect” and had created “embarrassment for the agency”

Israel must have video of world leaders doing some really crazy shit. The fact that every single country is bending over backwards to capitulation to Netanyahu is insane.

And today he has been proven right as nations begin to demand Israel pay for their crimes in Palestine: https://www.thejournal.ie/ireland-israel-compensation-school-palestine-destroyed-7022442-Apr2026/

The Agenzia Nova news agency told Fanpage.it that Nunziati’s question ... had created “embarrassment for the agency”

Embarrassment for the agency = CEO's pee tapes released?

This was months ago, and I don't see any newer news stories about him, I guess he did not get reinstated?

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 days ago

Probably not, can't find any other news on him. Knowing how things work, he's probably had to pivot careers at this point.

Netanyahu's spies must have a lot of people under their control.

Israel's spies

Netanyahu wasn't around during the nakba, he wasn't PM for the 1967 war, he wasn't PM during the Sabra and Shatila massacres, he wasn't PM when the Landau report legalized torture against Palestinians, and so on. The problem is the country, not its PM du jour.

The agency probably doesn't get invited to conferences anymore.

Why do they think they're committing the genocide? Of course they're going to pay to rebuild it.

[–] null@lemmy.org 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They'll just be building for themselves, though.

Exactly
