Journalists are supposed to be a protected group under International Humanitarian Law.
Now, in times of genocide, they are being targeted and exterminated in groups.
You’ve probably already heard that a group of journalists, including five Al Jazeera staff, were targeted in Gaza by the Israeli forces and murdered in their tent by the Al Shifa hospital this Sunday.
You’ve probably seen Anas Al Sharif report on the annihilation of his own people:
My national broadcaster didn’t dare to openly condemn this mass murder.
What about yours?
It cann’t be clearer that what we’re witnessing is not only an extermination of Palestinian journalists by Israel’s fascist regime, but also the cowardice and even cover for these crimes by those who you would expect to speak out.
This is not new; this is just another shameful instance of it.
And leaves the amplification of the brave Palestinian voices with us.
If you’re a Lithuanian speaker, I have a video for you on the same topic yet focusing on our national broadcaster, here.
Although my videos won’t stop, my podcast is taking a symbolic break to demarcate its seasons. Meanwhile, I invite you to follow me on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. I have also recently started a YouTube channel that I invite you to check out and subscribe to here.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️
