I will not speak to foreign media about the killing of Palestinian journalists.
I will not sit on your global channels to be part of a segment you’ll forget by tomorrow.
To you, we are just a headline — a tragedy to consume, not colleagues to defend.
We are being hunted and killed in Gaza while you watch in silence.
For two years, your fellow journalists here have been slaughtered.
What did you do?
Nothing.
Or maybe it’s because we are Palestinian journalists — we don’t count as “real” colleagues in your eyes.
1/2: After learning that Palestinians & allied constituents were mobilizing once again to confront him over his complicity in the #GazaGenocide, @RepCasten canceled his town hall in Burr Ridge, IL on 8/5.
In response, we refused to allow @teamcasten to enjoy a peaceful dinner...
@ShuveeIL@uspcn@RepCasten@teamcasten@ShuveeIL last thought. what if you weren't pissed at us and supported our calls for him to do the bare minimum to stop the genocide? maybe he would stop hiding behind you and have to act and we wouldn't be disrupting the meetings anymore. will you do that?
@ShuveeIL@uspcn@RepCasten@teamcasten@ShuveeIL the frustration you feel could be directed at Casten who has actively supported it. not us. will you choose to take that route? when your grandkids ask you what you did during this genocide, will you tell your grandkids that you were upset at us or him?
@ShuveeIL@uspcn@RepCasten@teamcasten@ShuveeIL I hear that you are frustrated you don't get to voice what you want to. that's valid. have you looked into if we have met with him? we have. over the course of years. he didn't listen or care.
@ShuveeIL@uspcn@RepCasten@teamcasten@ShuveeIL have you met with Casten in a meeting? have you thought about not hating people who want to stop a genocide from happening any way we can? that is a choice of yours. plenty of people, specifically those who have tried everything, support this. so you are not the center
Please, don't let her suffer any more. Tasneem can't even stop the tears from falling from her swollen eyes, which are ravaged by the skin disease. Blisters and pimples have spread across her thin body until they reach her eyes. Her tears burn and don't soothe, and the pain is merciless. The harsh weather is exacerbating her suffering, turning her life into an agonizing ordeal. Tasneem is in dire need of immediate treatment and urgent medical follow-up.

Once again, the Israeli army spokesperson has launched a campaign of threats and incitement against me because of my work as a journalist with Al Jazeera.
I reaffirm: I, Anas Al-Sharif, am a journalist with no political affiliations. My only mission is to report the truth from the ground — as it is, without bias.
At a time when a deadly famine is ravaging Gaza, speaking the truth has become, in the eyes of the occupation, a threat.
.@PatrickKingsley@gerryshih@Shayndi — your journalist colleagues are being hunted by Israel a few miles west of you in Gaza. @nytimes@WSJ@washingtonpost Jerusalem bureaus should jointly demand their right to report without the constant threat of assassination.
We are struggling to keep up!
The South campaign is raising around $5,000 a day and to get 250 meals of rice are costing around $2,650 and 10 pots of lentils or burgul a day are costing approximately $3,600 to $5,000 a day. Donate: https://t.co/CMKqjdzSwx
This is without taking into account tents that currently cost $356 per tent or our medical initiatives that cost around $5,000 every 10 days. We also have labor and transport costs that need to be paid cash with a commission of 40%, and transport prices are increasing by the day due to the lack of gas.
Also recently our team in the South has been telling us that we need to do water trucks and that the camps they visit don’t have water. It is something that people ask for all the time.
We at the Sameer Project are really struggling with deciding where the money should go: water, food, medication or shelter - all lifesaving initiatives.
We need to reach at least $10,000 a day for the South campaign to provide some of each of those. Please donate today and share with your family and friends: https://t.co/CMKqjdzSwx
