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”

    the problem was that the journalist can’t tell the difference between I/P and R/U

    might make him a shit journalist

        Not OP, but I is supported by lots of countries directly, whereas R by way fewer?
        Just musing, because I don’t see much of a difference beside the different levels of disgusting support of oppressors/attackers.

      If he couldn’t tell the difference, he’d have said that Netanyahu tried to take Kyiv or that Zelensky leads the APF. That would be a terrible mistake to make.

      He can tell the difference though. When making an analogy, you can ignore some of the differences to make a point about the similarities. And if there are relevant differences, the question he posed will draw those out. It’s a good question.

      I’m not a journalist nor anywhere near that field, what’s I/P and R/U?

      edit: Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine?
