Röstlund: I april dödades flera hjälparbetare av drönare som troligen kom från Elbit. Läsare hörde av sig igen: Varför skriver inte DN att det finns ett miljardavtal med Elbit? Jag ifrågasatte varför vi inte skrev. Jag fick svar av en nyhetschef: Israel har enligt folkrätten rätt att försvara sig.
Därför lämnade grävreportern DN: ”Det har varit svårt att göra journalistik om Gaza” - Medierna
Reportrar och chefer är oense om Gazajournalistik. På Dagens Nyheter har det gått så långt att journalister lämnat sina tjänster.
