Reckon Israel's targeting of international journalists is a new thing? This was May 2021, Associated Press building, downtown Gaza City (sound up).

We shall hear much today of the US waging of nuclear war on Japan, commencing 80 years ago this morning with the destruction of Hiroshima and slaughter of 140,000 people.
