All Israeli crimes, past and present. The Israeli genocide of Gaza has a historical context behind it.

There's an issue with this even if you believe that would have made a difference (it wouldn't have, because as soon as it started the Israeli government was aware). Journalists must not act on what they see, because they rely on the trust of parties in both sides to do their jobs. They need to be able to embed with both groups and document the war, and if they're constantly giving away information then they won't be able to do this.

Journalists documenting wars prevents some atrocities from happening. If they aren't allowed to embed with armies, this stops. We don't want this to stop, so we have to accept journalists sometimes not acting on information that could do temporary good, because the longterm good is more important.
