Imagine dedicating your entire career as a journalist to refining your critical thinking and investigative skills, only to find yourself a mouthpiece of the Iran backed Hamas-ISIS regime, which exploits the horrific suffering of Palestinian children to play global jihadi chess.
At this point you have to ask, what will be anything approaching commensurate punishment for the Israeli government and Defence forces, and what redress.
For many watching the atrocities unfold, Israel has forfeited its right to exist as a State - on top of all those responsible
