NEW | Instagram has removed the verified account of Gaza slain journalist Saleh al-Jafarawi, who had 4.5 million followers.
Archived snapshots of his page on the Wayback Machine, the largest public internet archive, also appear to have been wiped or disabled, raising concerns about digital erasure of Palestinian documentation.
Al-Jafarawi, known for his frontline reporting on the Gaza genocide, had previously faced repeated censorship. He was killed yesterday by an armed group collaborating with Israel.
Observers warn that these developments may signal “a new phase in efforts to erase evidence of Israeli war crimes from the internet.”
I don’t think anyone will ever be able to fully comprehend the extent of intergenerational trauma that is being created right now as we speak. This will be a stain on the history of humanity forever.
It's horrifying how everytime an attack happens Palestinians have no choice but to pick up their phones and record, record their dead loved ones with missing limbs as a desperate plea to make it all stop, their world is collapsing and they have to record it before they can grieve
If a ceasefire is reached right now, the UN estimates that we would need a century to rebuild the Gaza Strip. A century to undo what Israel has done. 100 years. That’s 3 generations of Palestinians trapped in this genocide, even after reaching a ceasefire.
cancelling graduation instead of letting someone speak about genocide. we are bearing witness to some of the most extreme displays of cowardice and censorship by USC and their fellow institutions.
This pain this man has suffered over the past three months is beyond the comprehension of so many of us. And yet journalists in the West do not mention him, the sacrifices he has made, and who is targeting him to prevent him from bringing people the truth.https://t.co/jfId2HEGoz
the fact that there’s been over 20,000 people murdered and it’s still considered controversial to want a ceasefire is something i will never be able to understand
he can’t even have privacy in his grief because palestinians have to record and broadcast everything for even the opportunity to be believed. these are the worst moments of people’s lives and we force them to share them over and over so that hand-wringing politicians might act
Happy 10th to “BAD BLOOD”. It took on a mad, unexpected life of its own and things got a bit out of hand.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in making it and getting it out there, and shitloads of love to everyone who’s listened to it. Happy anniversary you wonderful lot. X
