Jean Dominique, immortalised in a documentary entitled "The Agronomist", was murdered in 2000. Israel was included for the at least 128 journalists and media workers killed amongst over 40,000 civilian casualties. Journalists in Haiti, Gaza, and other conflict- affected countries around the world are heroes who deserve both respect and protection. The full Al Jazeera article is linked and below.
