I was watching him on live just a couple of days ago. He did a little series called “planting everyday until this genocide is over”. He was planting different herbs & things in buckets and bottles. Planting was a form of resistance for him. May God have mercy upon you, Medo.

“We do everything. We wear our press jackets. We wear our helmets. But we have been targeted in normal places where normal citizens are.”

Al Jazeera's journalist Hind Khoudary reports on the killing of her colleagues, journalist Ismail al-Ghoul and cameraman Rami al-Rifee, who were killed by an Israeli air strike that targeted their car in Gaza.

Al-Ghoul and al-Rifee were targeted after they finished their coverage. They were on their way to al-Ahli Arab Hospital after being asked to leave the area by Israeli forces.

The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists has reported that 108 media workers have been killed as of July 5, making this the deadliest period since the group began gathering data in 1992.

Thinking of throwing away that heavenly letter? Beware lest you draw the wrath of the brucha (who honestly seem more interested in your vineyard than your sins). From @ameliasoth: https://t.co/IW9TU8tiLt

Half of the journalists in Gaza have been killed in the last three weeks. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, this is the highest fatality rate for journalists in any conflict in history.

Sarajevo was under siege for 4 years. They cut us off from water, food, electricity, everything…but we managed to survive. We built a tunnel to get the injured out, we bartered, we made food & honey out of dandelions, we held concerts underground, prayer in basements…
