Haaretz reports that a group of Israeli journalists have quit the International Federation of Journalists after that organization censured Israel for bombing the headquarters of Hezbollah’s TV station:

A group of Israeli journalists renounced their membership in the International Federation of Journalists yesterday, after the organization’s general secretary refused to retract his condemnation of the Israel’s bombing of Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television station in Beirut. IFJ General Secretary Aiden White proposed coming to Israel to settle the dispute, but Israeli journalist and IFJ member Yaron Anosh told him that as long as the censure remained in effect, White would be unwelcome in Israel. […] “I have no intention of being a card-carrying member of an organization that would give a similar card to a Hezbollah member, whether he is firing a Katyusha or serving as the group’s propaganda officer at its TV station,” Anosh said. “A terrorist is not a journalist, and if an international organization prefers to have terrorists as members, then count us out.”

Any IFJ member should be ashamed that it supports Hezbollah propagandists over independent Israeli journalists. I wonder if any American members will quit as well.
