Indeed, to God Allah SWT we belong and to Allah SWT we shall return. ISSAM ABDALLAH to be 1st LEBANESE journo, alongside 11 Palestinian journo, killed in last 6 days. Killed by Israel, but even Thomson Reuters decide to not mention Israel. Lebanese security source says Israeli Apache helicopter has killed the Reuters journalist with a guided missile near Lebanese border. Just 2 hours after the killing of Issam, The White House statement: “The work that journalists do is fraught with risks, and today’s incident is a reminder of that.” Israel is now bombing bus convoys of Palestinians they told to flee to the south of Gaza. 70 killed so far. Thousands aimlessly walk while bombs drop around them. 400 Palestinian killed in last 17 hours, 2,000 Palestinians killed in last 160 hours. And all peace initiative across Middle East blew up.
More tragic, his last feed in instagram is photo about Shireen Abu Akleh, Palestinian - American citizen, also killed [by sniper] Israeli’s IDF. May both their memories be a blessing and justice be served.
The American journalism cadre made it very clear where they stood on Palestinian journalists when Palestinian American Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered by the IDF. If one or two journalists of any other nationality had been killed over six days the solidarity from our profession would be absolutely deafening. Like in Ukraine, just first ever journo killed by Russian, erupt angry by the US and EU. NOW 12 [11 Palestinian and 1 Lebanese] journo killed, but still quiet.
You don't hear U.S. officials talking about it, but around 500-600 American citizens live in Gaza, per government estimates. The illusion that Palestinian-Americans are equal Americans stopped latest when journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was assassinated while doing her job, with zero consequences for her killers. When Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by Israel, journalists demanded proof that an Israeli sniper killed her even though other journalists saw it. But when Israel makes unfounded allegations, the same standards are ignored and lies repeated. At best we get a cute “oops sorry” tweet. A prominent media figure has thrown herself into a rage just because I've called for accurate and careful reporting in media coverage. That should tell you everything you need to know about the extreme and ongoing danger of misinformation right now.
Footage Carmen Joukhadar
The Israeli army targeted a group of journalists including AlJazeera, AFP, Reuters crew. Three other journalists - including AlJazeera’s correspondent Carmen Joukhadar and AFP Christina Assi, wounded in an Israeli strike on their car in southern Lebanon.
Israeli sources reporting that US has given Israel and Netanyahu the green light to confront any threat on any front and in any geography.
Plestia Alaqad | بلستيا العقاد is Journo in Gaza. But currently her instagram activity, 15 hours ago. At least until yesterday, she insists to still posting everything horror - massive bombing by Israel in Gaza every hour. Sinc 4 hours ago, Israel announce will stop all Internet services in Gaza starting on Saturday, statement Israeli Comms Minister. Media blackout starts as Israel announces it will stop all internet services in Gaza from tomorrow. There are less than two hours [as of I writing this story] until Israel cuts off the internet in Gaza.
