“I found myself facing two impossible choices: rescue my colleagues or document what was happening. I chose documentation, because civilians and medics were already trying to save them, but if we did not film, the world would not know.”

These Journalists Saw Israel Kill Their Colleagues. But They Refuse to Be Silenced.

The strike that killed Anas al-Sharif nearly claimed the lives of these other reporters—including al-Sharif’s cousin.

The Nation

"To nearly all who watched him, al-Sharif’s reporting has been nothing short of heroic and awe-inspiring. But to the Israeli government, he is culpable for having the audacity to document the starvation campaign it has engineered and imposed by brute force. It is not enough to enjoy the impunity afforded by U.S. and European cover: there should be no bad optics, either."

World Press Freedom Day: Palestinian Voices Under Fire | This Is Palestine

In Palestine, journalism is not just a profession, t’s an act of survival, resistance, and memory. This episode, released for World Press Freedom Day, explores the brutal reality Palestinian journalists face under Israeli occupation: targeted killings, censorship, and the erasure of their stories. Through the haunting last words of journalist Husam Shabat and testimony from journalist Dalia Hatuqa, we confront the question: what does press freedom mean when telling the truth can get you killed?

This Is Palestine

"[T]he mass failure to report fairly, accurately or contextually on the latest chapter in the ethnic cleansing of the #Palestinians is perhaps the final nail in the coffin for younger audiences’s trust in the #MainstreamMedia (#MSM), which has long been waning." - #MyriamFrançois

Danny and Derek speak with Séamus Malekafzali, a Beirut-based journalist focusing on the Middle East, about his recent piece for The Nation, “The Rotten Partnership Between the US Media and the Israeli Military.” They check in about the current atmosphere in Beirut amid exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah, the Biden administration and US media’s current narrative around Hamas and Iran, the violence Israel has inflicted on Palestinian journalists, the double standards of their portrayal in the US media, and whether there might be any meaningful difference in a Trump or Harris presidency with regards to America’s support for Israel.
