This is actually quite misleading and dangerously so. I think it is worth explaining why because this apparently benign explanation actually shapes a tremendous amount of misunderstanding of Palestinians.
As the number of Palestinian journalists killed in the Israeli bombardment of Gaza keeps on rising…it might seem paltry to talk of awards but this is symbolically important espec after pressure was exerted on @RTS_media to drop this recognition
2 nights ago, a 13 yr old boy & his grandma were ordered to evacuate from Gaza city by the IDF. As they were driving south, their car was minced by 2 Apache helicopter gun ships, killing the grandma instantly. He lost both legs and right arm. His crime: being a Palestinian
One of the Jerusalem Post’s journalists is an IDF reservist named Michael Starr (from Canada) who published an article recently about killing an unarmed Palestinian teenager for sport. The Jerusalem Post is literally staffed by soldiers pretending to be journalists.
Amidst this endless terror and loss we're watching in Gaza, I cannot forget that my friend Shaden from Jerusalem will be tried tomorrow by an Israeli military court for speaking up against oppression! Help amplify her story! #ShadenQous#FreePalestine https://t.co/tMGN6nPrIC
‘As my baby slept peacefully next to me, I saw images of Palestinian babies, their feet poking out of the rubble.’
Australian MP Kat McNamara broke down in tears whilst speaking of the genocide in Gaza after Israel restarted bombing of the enclave.
All three of these young men are now dead. Targeted by Israel for their courageous reporting of the horrors inflicted on their people over the last 18 months. More than 200 journalists and media workers have been killed in Israeli attacks, 80% were between the ages of 20-40. So many brave, young men and women who risked their lives to document the atrocities.
May their souls be at rest now.
Government announced today £2 Billion for ‘AFFORDABLE HOUSING’ but how many of the 18,000 homes will be social housing. It can’t be left to developers to choose.

IT'S NOT NORMAL for a 23 year old to write his own eulogy because he knows he’s going to be targeted and killed
these kids aren't biblical figures they deserve to be stupid in their 20s and fall in love and have families and grow old like anyone else this isn't normal
An Israeli airstrike has killed former footballer and Asian Football Confederation coach Muhammad Ibrahim Mahmoud Inshasi in Khan Younis, Gaza, today.
His wife and 3 sons, Ibrahim, Mohammed and Ahmed, were also killed. 700+ Palestinian athletes have been murdered since Oct 2023.
The average age of Palestinian children pronounced dead this week at Nasser Hospital was 6-8yrs old.
In their pyjamas, because Israel bombed them in their sleep.
Brought in by neighbours, because Israel killed their parents.

If you justify anything which slaughters so many babies that it takes 27 pages to list their names:
Then you are an evil person.
Nothing more needs to be said
In previous wars, it was entirely unthinkable for Israel to even consider bombing the Red Cross. They committed all kinds of atrocities, but the Red Cross was a bit too far for them
Today Israel casually & directly bombs the Red Cross in Gaza & it doesn’t even make any headlines
Lessons of Gaza genocide: 5-9 year old children are most at risks during bombing because they can’t be easily carried by parents and can’t run fast enough to escape on their iwn.
I wish I had NEVER learned this
The entire world has been reliant on these Palestinian journalists as our eyes and ears inside the warzone that is Gaza - with each of their killing, our window into what’s happening is impacted
