#CensoringAttrocities: There is a deference to those who represent the nation-state, rarely afforded to those who represent the stateless; The words “massacre,” “slaughter,” and “atrocities” are routinely used to describe what Hamas did Yet you’d be hard-pressed to find any of those words attributed to Israel’s actions in Gaza. State terror wears an official mask, with the words “the right to self-defense” emblazoned on it. Meanwhile, we are learning more each day about Israel’s war aims.

#CensoringAttrocities: horrified that the Israeli military has now murdered an unprecedented number of journalists and media workers in Gaza—at least 75 people as of December 4. Since October 7, Israeli forces have also killed three journalists in Lebanon, and targeted journalists in the West Bank and Jerusalem, arresting 44 journalists as of November 28, according to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate. And, Israel’s forced power and communications outages in Gaza have made even the simplest communications mostly impossible, slowing the on-the-ground news out of Gaza to a trickle.
The situation has gotten so dire that journalists and media workers are no longer wearing press vests to prevent further targeting by the Israeli military.
These attacks on media workers are not new. They are part of a long-running regime of occupation, apartheid, and extermination that dates back to before the 1948 Nakba
