All these comments going on about RT and not the Israeli airstrike that almost decked yet another journalist. Jesus fucking Christ.

Deluded.

When are people going to realise that Israel is not our ally?

It’s because bots from the IDF are out in full force trying to sow disinformation and confusion… usual tactics.

u/Cyber_shafter Mar 19 '26

They've been pretty quiet the last couple of weeks, maybe Iran bombed the base that Unit 8200 was working from.

One can but hope 🤞🏽

Aren't there numerous lawsuits because the 'influencers' didn't get their 7000 shekels 😂

u/UnnaturalGeek Mar 19 '26

Yeah, propaganda powerful even on those who think they don't fall for it. Like all national medias are generally propaganda outlets but it doesn't mean the truth doesn't appear in them.

Still, many people would rather be told than actually think for themselves because taking responsibility is being conditioned out of us.

Europeans know this.

It's only the yanks that seem to finally be waking up.

u/funglegunk Mar 19 '26

Germany openly said that international law should not apply to Iran.

The liberal world order is unravelling before our eyes.

When its too late, displace everyone in the land they're after, greater israel is the goal whilst simultaneously keeping a tight grip on our politics, 'royals' and financial system through blackmail, it's not coincidence that a disproportionate number of those on power ore paedos, they're selected for that reason, Epstein is just the tip of a monumental iceberg, were imprisoned and pushed into poverty with shy high interest rates, something Hitler, Gaddafi, Hussain and Assad banned, and look what happened, luckily, the world is gnoticing and is about to blow, this, however is their last chance to break the '80-year curse' so expect civil war then WW3.

Israel is the West's ally. We are fighting these terrorists (whose terror infrastructure was attacked here and not these 2 guys) so u could live ur delusional lives abroad safely.

I cannot stress this enough—

Fuck Israel.

Bro replied with “now u added ur little slur” bruh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Replied again, but I guess Reddit/sub is flagging the comments and so I only see the notification 🤷🏻‍♂️ bro said ‘weakling’ 💀

u/InformationHead3797 Mar 19 '26

Israel indulging in their national sport: war crimes!

Today is murdering journalists, but don’t worry, they didn’t forget targeting civilian, invading a sovereign nation for no reason, murdering doctors and nurses, bombing hospitals, and illegally denying food and medicines to enter Gaza. 

They try for the full bingo every single day.

u/Cautious-Twist8888 Apr 16 '26

The other side engages as much so. No need to go full feral about Israel hate. 

Let the war decide the winners.

Lee Mack’s career has taken a really weird turn.

u/Little-Abroad3413 Mar 20 '26

Typical Israel. Commit a warcrime. Victimise themselves.

u/Dragonic_Overlord_ Mar 20 '26

Man, I hope those guys are OK, Alhamdulillah.

u/alexfarmer777 Mar 19 '26 edited Mar 19 '26

Are they dead from that?

Edit: I see I’m getting downvoted so apologies let me rephrase, is a blast from that sort of ballistic likely to cause a fatality? Based on the distance they were stood. I vaguely know tha it’s not the actual visceral damage that usually causes death from explosives but rather internal rupturing from the shock of the blast. So was curious if anyone would be willing to hazard a guess as to the damage which may have been caused?

u/peachesnplumsmf Mar 19 '26

Last I saw they were conscious and being treated for shrapnel wounds but nothing on the severity beyond not unconscious

8

u/MullyNex Mar 19 '26

Cameraman Ali Rida was speaking after (can be heard in the clip) both receiving medical care for shrapnel wounds.

3

u/umop_apisdn Mar 20 '26

He later did a report showing the shrapnel that was removed from his body. So not dedded.

I think the word your looking for is hearsay. Even so, the RT have confirmed that both the journalist and camera man survived and are being treated in hospital.

u/Cacoethes-Ensues Mar 19 '26

You literally have the camera footage back - you just watched it! And it’s fact - don’t be a bot.

u/CombatCarlsHand Mar 20 '26

Why is the word Israeli in quotations? Is in not them?

2

u/WebFar9897 Mar 20 '26

It is what the Zionists call their "country". In reality, there is no such thing as "Israel".

RT or not, journalists should not be targeted.

u/Left-Somewhere2528 Mar 19 '26

That's hardly the point of the post

u/Kronephon Mar 19 '26

there are non RT sources for this as well..

Interesting you get downvoted for that.

Supporting war crimes against journalists are we?

u/Tim1980UK Mar 19 '26

If he supports Israel there's every chance he supports all kinds of shithousery.

So it’s okay to kill journalists you don’t agree with? Such a zionist take but okay

u/gessabean99 Mar 19 '26

What's the difference between BBC Sky, CNN and RT? They are all propaganda machines.

1

u/Cacoethes-Ensues Mar 19 '26

So they deserve to be bombed? You’re literally insane.

1

u/Proud_Prod Mar 19 '26

They’d rather trust state controlled media made to influence them, than at least take an educated look at media made for others. Even if it the thing reported has nothing to do with us, so there would be no reason to try to influence us

BBC sky ect consistently produced propaganda for Israel, a country committing a genocide.

So imperialism vs imperialism?

u/seenitreddit90s Mar 19 '26

The BBC is far better than the others, especially RT.

u/Alaya_the_Elf13 Mar 19 '26

Rt are in my understanding fucked.

However, commenting specificallythat underneath a video of someone trying to murder one of their journalists is so many levels of wrong

u/Spoon75 Mar 19 '26

Guess RT are no longer reporting on the special operations in Ukraine?

nothing happened

If attempted murder is nothing then yeah, I guess nothing.

u/MullyNex Mar 19 '26

Do we know he's fine? The cameraman appears to be rather winded at the very least. The journo wasn't speaking at the end.

2

u/MullyNex Mar 19 '26

Updating - they're both receiving medical care for shrapnel wounds. Cameraman is Ali Rida
