It understandable that
@DanielWickham93 can't distinguish between journalists jailed/killed for free speech & those killed in a warzone. - View other replies

That would be more ethically correct and in correlation with your argument about free speech, yes.

You could also add some links about journalists being targeted in
#Ferguson by American police.@DanielWickham93 -
@SYMONDSxSAYS good point, just tweeted about that now.

I just like fairness. You raised some really good issues with the Paris rally. I just hope everyone gets home safely.

@DanielWickham93@KimDotcom "Camilli was one of five people killed in the explosion, which occurred while Gaza police engineers were..." -
@ZigZag_IL@KimDotcom corrected in my Independent piece http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/the-paris-march-was-an-emotional-display-but-also-one-full-of-hypocrisy-9973675.html … CPJ give the number killed directly by IDF as 3, RWB as 6. -
@DanielWickham93@KimDotcom all killed by collateral damage, never targeted. Very sad and unfortunate, but also a big difference. - View other replies

@ZigZag_IL@KimDotcom wouldn't be the first time the IDF have targeted journalists though http://www.hrw.org/news/2012/12/20/israelgaza-unlawful-israeli-attacks-palestinian-media … http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/10487454/Israeli-army-accused-of-targeting-journalists.html … - View other replies

@DanielWickham93@KimDotcom Unfortunate things happen during conflict; that's war, everywhere. But journalists are NEVER the TARGET of IDF. - View other replies
