This war, in addition to the human toll, has also shattered some familiar pillars in the media landscape. Abandoning basic standards when it comes to the coverage of Israeli atrocities has become commonplace. Journalists tiptoe around words that might offend Tel Aviv ..
Straks in Nieuws en Co:
➡ Sinds het staakt-het-vuren met Israël hebben de Iraanse autoriteiten al 700 Iraniërs opgepakt. Journalist en Midden-Oostenkenner Abdou @Bouzerda vertelt meer.

Harvard cancelled a class for medical students in which they'd meet Palestinians from Gaza maimed by Israeli attacks.
Harvard is apparently worried that hearing directly from victims of Israeli atrocities may undermine years of establishment programming.

Our Al Jazeera I-Unit film GAZA has now passed 2 million views - despite being entirely ignored by mainstream media.
Keep sharing.

A week ago I was being told to apologize for saying Trump would be worse for Gaza because he faked a temporary pause/pretend ceasefire to coincide with his inauguration.
Now he’s just openly endorsing/encouraging ethnic cleansing.
Israel was supposed to fully withdraw from South Lebanon today.
Instead, Israel is shooting and killing Lebanese civilians trying to return home.
Over 100 shot, with 15 dead.
This is a massacre—and the ‘international community’ is watching in silence.
The view that Israel committed genocide in Gaza is increasingly mainstream. It is certainly a legitimately held view, fully within the realm of reasonableness. Yet the New York Times refused to run an ad that said so. https://t.co/fRySI5Gm3q
Absolutely horrific.
And there are hundreds, thousands, of stories like this.
Few of which get any coverage in the Western media, or spark any outage in Western capitals.

The last shift at Al-Awda Hospital in the genocide, we stood strong til the last breath
We didn’t leave the hospital, patients behind, and we never leave Gaza. We remained steadfast in the face of destruction, a symbol of unwavering resistance and defiance!🇵🇸🇵🇸
For the past 15 months, #Israel media has focused on a narrative of inevitable victory against #Hamas -- but footage from #Gaza today is plastered across media, showing well-equipped #Hamas fighters in charge.
"It's like a bad dream," per one contact in #Israel.
أبو عبيدة ظهر، ذكر طنجة بافتخار، في خطاب الانتصار"...
أهالي طنجة المغربية يحتفلون بنصر المقاومة ويهتفون للناطق باسم كتائب القــــسام "أبو عــــبيدة" بعد أن حيّاهم في خطابه اليوم.
Even after a ceasefire, ‘children in Gaza will continue to die from malnutrition’, says Louisa Baxter, a doctor working for Save the Children in Gaza.
She’s currently stationed in Deir al Balah in central Gaza.
Israel murdered 950 health workers in order to wipe out Gaza's health system. Of the 5 Consultant Pathologists there are now only 2 still alive; there are no more board certified Kidney specialists; no board certified Emergency Medicine doctors and the list goes on. We must NOW start to train a new generation.
