In the past 2 days:
-The ICC was asked to investigate Biden and Blinken for war crimes
-The Guardian published a major report on the torture of 🇵🇸doctors
-Deputy Knesset speaker Nissim Vaturi called for the killing of all 🇵🇸 men in Gaza
US media has ignored ALL of these stories
The bans on Al Jazeera’s reporting from the West Bank and Israel has really altered the scope and depth of its coverage. It is particularly visible in the situation with the wait for Palestinian captives to be released. In November 2023, Jazeera was on the ground reporting on the families and also the Israeli attempts to crack down on celebrations.
Al Jazeera’s ban also resulted in a major gap in the coverage of the recent battles and sieges in Jenin. This type of censorship is not only a total disgrace that should be denounced by anyone or any nation claiming to support a free press, but it is also leaving the public less informed about issues of vital importance.
In the past 2 days, Israeli forces have:
–Killed 3 World Central Kitchen aid workers
–Killed a Save The Children staffer
–Killed a Gaza Soup Kitchen chef
–Killed an ICU director
–Attacked & killed hundreds of displaced Palestinians
–Shot a 10-year-old girl
