The White House warned Israel that journalists' lives are 'paramount' after the owner of a Gaza tower block housing international news media was given one-hour to evacuate it, before it was destroyed by an IDF air strike.Israel pounded Gaza with air strikes into the early hours of Sunday, with the destruction of the 12-storey building that housed the U.S. Associated Press and Qatar-based Al Jazeera media operations drawing international rebuke. The United States told Israel 'that ensuring the safety and security of journalists and independent media is a paramount responsibility,' White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said on Saturday.U.S. President Joe Biden later spoke to both

No, morons. I believe the role of the Israeli military is to protect the safety and security of the people of Israel. If leftist "journalists" want to use the same building as Hamas terrorists, because they are allies, then they have to take their chances. It is not the job of Israel to ensure their safety.

No, you freakin' idiots in the White House!!!!
What is "paramount" is for Israel to destroy the terrorists that are firing thousands of missiles at Israel with absolutely no warning, and to save and safeguard it's own people!!!!
Journalists from Associated Press and Al Jazeera are only slightly above Hamas on the terrorism scale in my book, so the fact that the Israelis gave them any warning is pretty darn compassionate!!!

Israel.... You do what you've got to do. Journalists have to take their chances like everyone else. This 'administration' does not speak for the majority of this country.

Jinkies! Its not like rockets coming out of nowhere. The Israelis gave them an hour's warning. According to PLO/Hamas standards, that's more than civilized...it downright merciful. After 70 years whatever "nobility" existed in the "Palestinian" cause has long been exhausted. Its time Gaza City became a quarry for used stone.

Question for Joe Biden. How many hour warnings is Hamas giving the Israeli's in the 1600 rocket attacks? Answer the question, and don't go running away.

"Journalists' lives are fodder" would be a better headline.

The White House, having become the out-house, should shut the ef up! Anyone or Organization which supports your enemy IS your enemy and as such deserves no warning!

I wonder if Psaki knows she serves evil.
Is she deluded? Unaware?
Does she regret it?
Or does she serve evil gladly, with full knowledge of being evil?

What a bunch of hypocrites!
They have no problem allowing censorship of conservative journalists in this country but want to protect journalists who spout their party anti-Israel party line.

The White House is trying to protect their Propaganda Sources by sucking up to Journalists and making them a Special Class.
The truth is if you stick your head in a bee's nest expect to get stung, you have no special immunity.

The White House warned?? Isn't the White House where they stack up those dead COVID bodies until they can be buried in the Rose Garden?

The only lives that are "paramount" and need of protection, according to the Xiden regime, are Demoncrat members of Congress and the MSM that agree with them. Everyone can go to Hell. If it had been conservative media blown up by Hamas, Demoncrats would have applauded.

Does Hamas give an hour's notice to leave the area before sending in the missiles?
Time for your cream of wheat, Joe. The liberal press can be offended all by themselves.

In what Bizarro World are journalists' lives worth anything more than what your cat leaves behind in the litter box? If people want to risk their lives for a picture of an explosion in the distance they will find that nearby and ground zero explosions are a hazard of the occupation. I realize that democrats owe their entire existence to the sub-human class known as journalists but the rest of us can put things into perspective. Defend your country first and to hell with the sightseers. They are lucky they got an hour.

What's the big deal?. As far as I could tell, it was a mostly peaceful air strike.

Nah. Modern day journalists are largely harmful people, and losing a few or a few dozen is probably going to improve things.

As long as those journalists are not conservatives, says the whiteboard house.

Israel is only one of few, or the only Nation, that warns their enemy when an attack is immiment; Biden;s WH is filled with unPatriotic scum.
