Hundreds of journalists joined demonstrations in Paris and Marseille on Wednesday in a show of solidarity for their colleagues killed in Gaza. Protesters in Paris staged a “die-in” to commemorate the nearly 200 journalists killed in the Palestinian enclave since October 2023.
In an op-ed in the leading French daily Le Monde earlier this week, several journalist associations, trade unions and media organisations, including FRANCE 24, condemned the Israeli media blackout in Gaza.
“The Israeli army is imposing a media blackout on Gaza to silence, as much as possible, the witnesses of the war crimes committed by its troops,” said the newspaper column. “This intention to obstruct information is also reflected in the Israeli government's refusal to allow foreign press access to the Gaza Strip.”

Considering this is about journalists protesting over their colleagues being killed, are you sure you can't see why the two are treated differently?
Hint:
Look at the number of journalists Israel has killed

Ask Human Rights Watch.
Also alarming! You value the lives of journalists WAY more than the local civilians who live in the nations the United States Army (with taxpayer support and money) kill.

The French Foreign Legion participated in the Gulf War under Operation Daguet, which was part of the coalition forces' effort to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation. The Legion force, made up of 27 different nationalities, was attached to the French 6th Light Armoured Division whose mission was to protect the Coalition's left flank. The ground offensive began after a four-week air campaign, and the Legion quickly penetrated deep into Iraq, taking the As-Salman Airport with little resistance. The war ended after a hundred hours of ground fighting, resulting in very light casualties for the Legion. Operation Daguet: French operation during the Gulf War aimed at capturing the Al Salman Air Base. Division Daguet: Provisional division formed in September 1990 in Saudi Arabia, composed of units from more than 25 regiments. As-Salman Airport: Target of the Legion's offensive, taken on the afternoon of February 25, 1991. French 6th Light Armoured Division: Division to which the Legion was attached, tasked with protecting the Coalition's left flank. Air Campaign: Four-week air operation preceding the ground offensive. Ground Offensive: Coalition forces' rapid advance into Iraq, with the Legion playing a significant role. Casualties: Nine French soldiers killed during the operation, including two before and five after the beginning of the conflict.
