I watched the video and at 0:35 Sky News says she's working for an "Hezbollah aligned news organisation" and other propaganda to justify her murder. This is even worse than I thought.

    I'm unclear on why 'hezbollah aligned news organization' is contentious? They've always been close to march 8; they're probably the best arabic news source that is, and they're outspoken progressives as well. That's not an inaccurate characterization.

    I think the issue is that they want regular folks to see this and go "ah, this woman was a terrorist, I guess you FAFO", at least I believe that's the intent considering the pattern of western media dehumanizing resistance movements and such.

    Oh, thank you. That does seem like an easy interpretation; I suppose being from the region/being (vaguely...) aligned with hezbollah's role in this conflict myself may be coloring my perspective here.
