Palestinian journalists are ‘epic heroes’ murdered by Israel with impunity: Analysis
17,162 views Aug 26, 2025 #KhanYounis #JournalismIsNotACrime #Israel
In an interview with Al Jazeera, journalist Jeremy Scahill, the co-founder of Drop Site News, condemned the Israeli strike on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital as part of a “war of extermination,” accusing Israel of systematically murdering witnesses to its actions. He described the tactic as a “double-tap” technique, pioneered by the US, designed to target first responders. Scahill expressed profound shame at Western media organisations, which he accused of dehumanising Palestinians and acting as conveyor belts for Israeli propaganda. He lambasted the profession for its hypocritical response to the killing of over 270 Palestinian journalists, whom he called “the greatest journalistic heroes of our lifetime.” Scahill argued that if the US government desired, it could end the conflict immediately, and criticised the lack of substantive international outcry, stating that silence makes complicit those who do not act.
Israel targets journalists to create Gaza ‘blackout,’ says Reporters Without Borders

Louise Bichet, project director at Reporters Without Borders, spoke to Al Jazeera from Paris after an Israeli strike on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital killed at least 20 people, including five journalists.
She expressed outrage, describing it as another targeted killing within a broader Israeli strategy to silence reporting from Gaza, noting more than 200 journalists have been killed in nearly two years. Bichet stressed that international law, including UN resolution 2222, obliges warring parties to protect journalists, not target them.
Reporters Without Borders has three key demands: an end to the killings, urgent evacuation of wounded journalists, and access for international media to Gaza.
She criticised the muted global response, urging the media community to be louder and more forceful in condemning Israel’s actions.
Bichet recalled that the killing of Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif two weeks earlier was part of a documented tactic of targeting Palestinian journalists under false accusations.
She emphasised that this reflects a deliberate strategy to impose an information blackout in Gaza. Bichet also conveyed the fear among journalists inside Gaza, quoting colleagues who say none of them know if they will survive.
She concluded by calling for an emergency UN Security Council meeting to specifically address Israel’s targeting of journalists.

Thameen Al-Kheetan, spokesperson for the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), stated that Israel’s killing of journalists in Gaza constitutes “a clear breach of international humanitarian law” and amounts to a “war crime.”
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Al-Kheetan stressed that “any condemnations by member states must be followed by action,” urging countries with leverage over Israel to pressure it into halting its war on Gaza.
“It is the responsibility of the international community to do everything in its power to stop this war,” he added.
Al-Kheetan also highlighted Israel’s broader suppression of media, noting that “the apparent targeting of Palestinian journalists in Gaza, combined with Israel’s denial of access to foreign journalists, suggests a deliberate attempt to restrict the flow of information.”
He described the attack near Al-Shifa Hospital’s entrance—which killed multiple journalists—as “a catastrophe.”
Netanyahu’s mafiosi style, a smug and a wink before killing our colleagues: Marwan Bishara
32,843 views Aug 12, 2025 #AnasAlSharif #JournalismIsNotACrime #GazaWar
Israel’s latest killings of journalists in Gaza are an addition to a long list of criminality, said Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara.
“We at Al Jazeera do not want to be the story; we are forced to be the story because of the criminality of the Israeli government,” he said.
He said that while Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif was reporting “every minute of the day” and while Israeli claims he was a Hamas member were lies, several other journalists were killed alongside him even though Israel had not made any allegations against them.
“Why assassinate him when he is among his colleagues? How many more journalists is it acceptable to kill as collateral damage?” Bishara asked.
“There is something particularly psychopathic about the lie and about the crime.”
He said al-Sharif is part of the fabric of Jabalia, the refugee camp where he comes from, whose residents have sacrificed their lives for the past six decades. Bishara said the timing of the killings was no coincidence either, as media reports have put Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under significant international pressure as he plans to seize Gaza City.

Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief, Wael Dahdouh, who has lost his wife and several other members of his family to Israeli attacks, has reacted to Israel’s latest deadly targeting of Al Jazeera journalists.
“What is happening is unjustifiable and is not in line with any humanitarian law or any human values,” Dahdouh said. “This is astonishing. How can they target a tent where journalists were sheltering?”
Dahdouh’s eldest son and fellow Al Jazeera journalist Hamza Dahdouh was killed by an Israeli missile strike in the western part of Khan Younis in southern Gaza in January last year.
Dahdouh described working as a journalist in Gaza like navigating a “minefield”. Journalists “do their job in extreme fear”, he said, knowing they can “be targeted at any moment by the drones that are jamming the skies of Gaza”.

Press freedom under fire as Israel kills journalists in Gaza
5,451 views Aug 12, 2025 #AnasAlSharif #JournalismIsNotACrime #GazaWar
Israel’s systematic targeting of journalists in Gaza and the occupied West Bank has made it one of the gravest threats to press freedom globally.
In the past two years, Israeli forces have killed Al Jazeera journalists, raided news bureaus, and forced closures whilst making baseless accusations against media teams exposing the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
With an estimated 237 media workers killed in Gaza alone, the conflict has become one of the deadliest for journalists in recent history, surpassing casualties from Vietnam and World War II.
Despite the dangers, Palestinian journalists continue to provide a vital counterweight to Israeli censorship and propaganda, risking their lives to document the realities on the ground.
However, watchdog groups accuse some Western media outlets of complicity in downplaying the severity of the situation.
As world leaders look away, the toll on press freedom and civilian lives continues to mount, raising urgent questions about the international community’s response to the crisis.

Gaza-based journalist Noor al-Shana said people in the enclave are tired of what she called empty expressions of solidarity from the international community.
“We don’t want just words … we want actions,” al-Shana pleaded. “We want you to open borders. We want you to stop this genocide.”
“There are thousands of children dying now and no one is doing anything,’ she added. “The world is just saying ‘Free Palestine’ … We don’t want words, we want solutions.”
“Enough, we are tired,” she said, fighting back tears. “We are suffocating. We are dying here.”
