The team’s interrogation lasted more than two hours, during which all our phones and laptops were examined, and many photos - including personal ones - were deleted. The officer threatened us with worse consequences if we approached the frontier from the Syrian side again, and said that they know everything about us and would track us down if any hidden or un-deleted photo was ever published.
the chart should do a better job emphasizing the length of these wars. or use averages per year.
Yes, the chart is not ideal.
However, my intention was simply to give an impression of how ruthlessly Israel prevents any reporting on what is actually happening in Gaza.
I think this comparison is sufficient for that purpose, especially since it puts into perspective the enormously high number of media representatives who have been killed in Gaza. I think this makes also clear that the reason for this is most likely that Israel is deliberately targeting media representatives with all means at its disposal – including murder.
But you are absolutely right: this would become even clearer if it were made more explicit that the enormous number of war killed Journalist in Gaza refers to less than two years while other wars were much longer and also more extensive.
Assigning each war an Average number of journalists killed per year (total killed divided by duration) would visualise this even more starkly.
