The biggest problem is not Western journalists being unable to enter, but the fact that Western media doesn't respect and value Palestinian journalists. My colleagues and I risk our lives every day to report on this genocide . No one knows Gaza like we do, and no one understands the complexity of the situation like we do. If you care about what's happening in Gaza, you should amplify Palestinian voices. We don't need Western journalists to tell our stories; we are capable of telling and reporting on our own stories.
Israel’s army has released fabricated dossiers framing us, the last remaining journalists in North Gaza reporting on Israel’s extermination and ethnic-cleansing campaign, as “terrorists”.
This blatant and belligerent attempt to transform us, the last witnesses in the north, into killable targets is an assassination threat and obvious attempt to preemptively justify our murder.
We would like to remind everyone that after murdering our colleague Ismail Al Ghoul, Israel released a document that claimed he supposedly received a military ranking on July 1, 2007, when he would have been a 10 year old child.
This public threat was made without any evidence and is part of a systematic propaganda campaign to justify the unjustifiable as Israel continues to target civilians in Gaza, including doctors, aid workers, children and us journalists.
We call on our colleagues and media institutions around the world to show their solidarity with us.
Despite these dangerous and untrue threats made against us, we remain committed to our profession and will continue to report the facts on the ground as the genocide regretfully continues unabated.
Al Jazeera reporters in southern Lebanon and the Dahiyeh have their blood types sewn on to the front of their press jackets.
Cowards in western newsrooms didn’t do their jobs. They didn’t challenge Israel’s propaganda and failed their colleagues. This isn’t normal
I was just at the beach in Lebanon less than two weeks ago where everyone was in bathing suits as skimpy as in Miami, you freak.
Also who cares??
Arabs are only worthy of life if their women wear bikinis? Are bikinis the only way to humanize us, you pervert?
You should be embarrassed.
Seek help and leave us alone.
2 things have happened in Gaza in the last 24 hours:

As you reflect on why only one of these stories is dominating the headlines, there are 5 more things to keep in mind 🧵👇:

This is Al-Mawasi, the heaviest concentration of Gaza refugees, northwest of Rafah, a so-called safe zone
