Journalist sacked for doing actual journalism at EU press conference (europeanjournalists.org)

News is from last year, but it's still dystopic for anyone that missed it:

At a European Commission press briefing in Brussels on 13 October, Nunziati asked the spokesperson Paula Pinho: “You’ve repeatedly said that Russia should pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you think Israel should also pay for the reconstruction of Gaza, given that it destroyed much of the Strip and its civilian infrastructure?”

on 27 October, the journalist received a letter terminating his working relationship with the news agency, which, however, did not specify the reasons for this decision.

The Agenzia Nova news agency told Fanpage.it that Nunziati’s question was “completely out of place and technically incorrect” and had created “embarrassment for the agency”

My guess is that they’re calculating that it’s better to capitulate than to have to rehome the millions of Israeli citizens if Israel ceases to exist. They’re trying to keep Israel as a containment zone, because if Israel falls, where the Jews go? I can’t think of a single country in the region that would take them willingly. They’d have to migrate to the US or Europe.

Nope, better bomb some elementary schools then I guess cuz we're all out of ideas, and we've tried nothing else.
