Since she was joking about civilians executions...

Except she wasn't. That's the line the media is pushing but, if you actually read what she wrote -

"Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal."

there's no reference, direct or inferred, to Hamas or civilian executions. The propaganda machine is working overtime.

If the 'freedom fighters" aren't hamas, then who was she talking about?

Any of the civilians in the Gaza prison camp that documents the situation could be reasonably called a freedom fighter.

Are they taking vertical video?

Here's an article that slightly better explains the situation.

She wrote...

“I just want to make it clear that this statement in no way shape or form is enticing spread of violence, I specifically said freedom fighters because that's what the Palestinian citizens are… fighting for freedom every day.”

When referring to execution videos then yes, you're a dick when saying that.

I'll never understand why people like you seem to practically fall over themselves, making things up to justify being upset at situations. You're all bizarre.
