Journalists are a very small proportion of the population and are afforded protections in combat.

Absolutely. My point being that the scale and wanting manner of destruction and the general disregard of Palestinian life in this 'war' is so massive that it's hard to prove intent in the case of the murder of the family of the journalist.

If those families are targeted specifically is another level of evil. But it's hard to really prove that, was my main point.

Aide from that, the fact that families die at all, with almost no rationale that van be related to supposed military targets is in itself a breach of military law.
