“Israel says…” is not journalism. When we were filming in Hebron, the IDF killed seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal. Israel claimed his family’s car accelerated toward its soldiers. Then video emerged. Israel lied.
Journalists need to do better than "Israel says."

🇵🇸 This morning activists attempted to retake a Palestinian house stolen by the settlers near Bethlehem in the West Bank.
They removed the Israeli flags the settlers set up on the building and replaced them with Palestinian ones. In response, settler-terrorists fired live ammunition at the activists.
Israeli army supported the settlers and expelled the rightful landowners from the land.
What happened to me in the West Bank was an outrage. But it is nothing compared to what Palestinians face every day.
It is time to share their stories that American politics have silenced and ignored. This is our first video about Palestinians we met.
