NEW: The Board of Directors at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets. Israeli, American, and Ukrainian journalists who work for state-funded outlets or are embedded with the military will remain recognized as journalists, of course.
The move was catalyzed to appease the right-wing Zionist rag The Free Beacon, which has repeatedly accused Palestinian and Lebanese journalists of being undercover militants or used their political opinions or affiliations as justification for their killing by the IOF.
This is a racist scandal of massive proportions for everyone involved, and it makes a mockery of the purported mission of the organization. It is absolutely abhorrent that the organization’s resources are wasted on this cowardly witch-hunt, at a moment in history that is the deadliest for journalists, especially in Palestine and Lebanon.
From @TheAthleticFC: Iran captain Mehdi Taremi has criticised FIFA and its president Gianni Infantino for their handling of his country’s World Cup campaign. “It’s a disaster World Cup; a disaster,” he told reporters on Friday. https://t.co/UCXa8Qb4N0
Has there ever been a World Cup where a team is playing in the host country on the literal same day that the host country is bombing that team's country?
The US invaded and kidnapped the President of a sovereign nation, a member state of the United Nations. It was not done in self-defence, nor was there an authorization by the Security Council.
It was clearly illegal and blatant foreign interference
Canada’s Liberals praised it.
man darf nicht vergessen, dass nagelsmann undav am liebsten daheim gelassen hätte und ihn am ende nur wegens der öffentlichen drucks mitgenommen hat, er aber lieber füllkrug oder kleindienst mitnehmen wollte
Lebanese environmental activist Mona Khalil has died from wounds sustained in an Israeli strike earlier this month, family and friends say.
For more than 20 years she was a dedicated & stubborn protector of Lebanon’s sea turtles.
She had stayed at her home on the beach in Mansouri, southern Lebanon, despite the war.
I had the privilege of interviewing her in 2017 when she was resisting the construction of a beach resort backed by powerful local players.
Israeli lawyer Ben Marmarelli says Palestinian prisoners he represents beg him not to visit because they're raped each time he is due to meet them.
This is a scene from Al Jazeera's shocking new documentary on Israel's systematic use of rape.
So Russia is banned from FIFA because of their invasion of Ukraine, but America is allowed to HOST THE FIFA GAMES WHILE BOMBING IRAN???
HOW DOES THAT WORK?????
The BBC found evidence Israeli forces deliberately sniped Palestinian children — over 60% shot in the head or chest.
Israel has killed about 21,000 children in two years, with a spike even before October 7.
