I will not speak to foreign media about the killing of Palestinian journalists.
I will not sit on your global channels to be part of a segment you’ll forget by tomorrow.

To you, we are just a headline — a tragedy to consume, not colleagues to defend.

We are being hunted and killed in Gaza while you watch in silence.
For two years, your fellow journalists here have been slaughtered.

What did you do?
Nothing.

Or maybe it’s because we are Palestinian journalists — we don’t count as “real” colleagues in your eyes.

[Dr. Mimi Syed @Memers1st]

@BBCWorld covering what my colleagues and I have seen in Gaza. You cannot deny the perpetrators or intentionality of these injuries.

After @amnesty’s finding of genocide, @hrw Human Rights Watch now also affirms Israel is committing genocide & extermination against the Palestinian people. Every major international human rights organization is in agreement. And the world sits idly by. https://t.co/BV3rGNbXGe

“It is absolutely terrifying.
You can hear children crying, people screaming, people running for their lives, and it has been nonstop for 24 hours. People are trapped."

@UNWateridge tells @AJEnglish that people in #Gaza are facing relentless and continuous bombardments with nowhere safe to go.

Hannah Arendt spoke of the banality of evil. She said that the frightening thing about people who commit or go along with evil acts like genocide is not that there is something unusual about them but rather that that they are so “terribly and terrifyingly normal.” It was this normality that was “more terrifying than all the atrocities put together.” I look around today and see the many people among my neighbors, my colleagues, my relatives, the politicians and the media, who support or tolerate this genocide in Palestine, and I am terrified. Not only for Palestine, but for all of humanity. Not only for today, but for the future.

The entire population of North Gaza is at risk of dying.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

20,000 missing children in Gaza- some maimed beyond recognition.
On top of the 17,000 killed in 12 months.

We call it genocide because it is genocide.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

As you slept, Palestinian kids in ICU were killed because Israeli forces bombed a hospital oxygen station.

Just what will be the consequences of the West facilitating this depravity in full view of the world?

I honestly don't know. I just know we are going to find out.

We’re in an absurd situation where both Hamas and Israeli officials agree that Netanyahu is blocking Biden’s ceasefire proposal, Netanyahu publicly rejects key elements of it, but Biden and Blinken continue to insist that Netanyahu supports it and Hamas is blocking it. What.

"In simple terms, the Court affirmed that Palestinians are human beings with human rights, that they need not negotiate for their human rights with their oppressor, and that Israel is not above the law." https://t.co/TkpzmrwszZ

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

UN experts and B’tselem reported this week on the widespread abuse, torture and sexual assault including rape amid atrocious inhuman treatment of Palestinians held in Israeli custody: Around 9,500 Palestinians, including hundreds of children, are currently imprisoned.

This bizarre dance by the US around the ceasefire (non)agreement seems to be a cynical effort to (1) shift blame away from Israel’s breach of the binding order of the ICJ over to Hamas instead, (2) wrest control of the process away from the UN back to the US & (3) distract the world from Israel’s ongoing atrocities. It’s not working.

[Dr. Deepti Gurdasani @dgurdasani1]

Banned from Europe because he treated dying patients in Gaza, & lived to talk about how children were maimed, killed, and then denied basic medication and healthcare by Israel. That's his crime. Got to love how European leaders and conventions go on about 'freedom of expression'.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

German police arrest Jews protesting a genocide. You can’t make this shit up.

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

In the west, speaking out for Palestinian human rights always comes with a cost. But remember: not speaking out will come with a higher cost, both to Palestinian lives and to your own moral standing. You are writing your own legacy today. History is watching. #FreePalestine

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Israel is deliberately shooting Palestinian children in the head and chest.
