The Footage Hamas Doesn’t Want You to See

https://honestreporting.com/the-footage-hamas-doesnt-want-you-to-see/

Mass protests in Gaza are making headlines—but where are the photos? Major outlets like Reuters, CNN, and AP are relying on vague social media clips or skipping coverage altogether. Why? Because Hamas controls what gets seen, what gets filmed, and what gets shared. When there’s no media freedom, there’s no full picture.

#Putin said Russia should treat #Ukraine soldiers captured... in #Kursk Region as terrorists.

"People... who commit crimes against civilians here, who oppose our armed forces, law enforcement... are the people we should certainly treat as #terrorists," Putin said, adding that #Russia does not intend to extend the #GenevaConventions to foreigners fighting on Ukraine's side.' ie. #Mercenaries.

He called the current rulers of #Syria “#terrorists,”; and pointed out #Israel, the #Zionists Entity, shared much of the blame
