Gaza journalists are talented, professional and solemn. That’s why Israel targets them | Nesrine Malik

tHe first met Tamer Almisshal, the leader of Al Jazeera’s Gaza team. It was in July last year. His team has Two journalists were buriedHamza al-Dahdouh and Samer Abu Daqqa. He told me that the rest were hungry. They are also dealing with threats from trying to master protective equipment, IDF and the threat of killing family members. Ismail al-Ghoul Hadn’t seen his wife and children in months and missed them largely. Hossam Shabat,,,,, Mohammed Qraiqea and Anas al-Sharif Please get food in the morning before they start reporting. Today, they are all dead.

I spoke with various members of the Gaza team writing Personal profile of senior journalist in Gaza Wael Al-Dahdouh, who lost his wife, has three children and grandson. All take their work as an obligation, despite the risks, but still needs to be performed. Three members of the team have since been killed in a series of assassinations. Every time I send my condolences, the response is that the coverage will not stop. “We are continuing,” Gaza editor told me last week. “We will not betray their message or their last wish.”

When these killings make the world drowsy, the reaction to them becomes unproven crisis, in some cases Incredible claims Some of these journalists are militants – there is little to say about the talent of Gaza’s journalism. In the impossible situation, how fluent, clarity and calm its journalist is. They manage to capture how many horrible events and pains they have perfected the art in journalism while maintaining a professional, collected presence on camera. They manage to keep it cool. I often struggle to translate their words into English, so the rich and extensive expressions are their expressions. Even Sharif’s Final newsthis is a text of a period of age that has lost some power in translation. In it, he talks about those who “choke” our breath, but the words he uses are closer to “siege” – which not only evokes physical suffocation, but also silences of the voices that monitor people.

When I talk to journalists in Gaza, I was touching me with evangelicals and heartbreaking idealism. Even if it means certain deaths, for them, it is a responsibility to how much news they have. All those killed have a choice, and those who are still alive and report still can. Sharif said he had How many threats Over the past two years, Israeli authorities. Al Jazeera told me that he was warned by Israeli intelligence personnel and told to stop reporting. When he refused, his father was Killed in an air strike. When the ghoul took over from Dahdouh early last year, Dahdouh told him that it was a dangerous job and no one would blame him for leaving his post and returning to his wife and children. The ghoul refused, yes Beheaded in a target strike.

The Israeli government’s attempt to deal with these killings not only prevented a series of hateful reports and footage, but also wiped out the image of Palestinians conveyed by these media professionals. The credibility, dignity and talent that Gaza journalists show to the world in their reports and social media posts must be extinguished. The more places in Gaza are, a place full of militants, without reliable narrators, where, Israel’s reasons for killing and hunger cannot be challenged by reasonable witnesses, it is easier Israel It can be prosecuted for its genocide movement.

+972 Magazine and the latest survey of local calls has been confirmed Silently named “Legalized Cell”In the words of the report, a unit of the Israeli army is responsible for “determining that journalists in Gaza can be described as undercover Hamas agents to force global anger over Israel’s killing of journalists”. According to sources from the investigation, the effort was “driven by anger exerted by journalists in Gaza [Israel’s] Name before the world”.

At the heart of this effort is Israel’s ability to rely on the Western media to see its claims as justified, although time and time again, it turns out that it is not. It is said that the first responders who were killed due to “probably advancing” are said to be Discovered in constraints A lens with an executive style. Hamas is systematically stealing aid, which is used to justify lockdown and hunger Source contradiction In the Israeli army itself. Hamas shot Palestinians line up for aid, Israel saysnot us.

Ultimately, this behavior should be called: the right to completely deceive you into becoming a reliable authority. Still someone told us that Israel killed a journalist, but This is Israel’s claim Journalists are militants. You can make up your mind. The resulting ambiguity means that even if these claims cannot be verified, they are full of potential truths. Do you see how it works?

The fact is a reporter Gaza In Western media, many colleagues have completely failed – not only about the way they reported their killings, but also in terms of describing the entire conflict. The numbers of dead and hungry in Gaza are often described as coming from the “Hamas-rule” ministries, but you can’t see statements made by Israeli authorities that are considered to be continuous unreliable, or phrases that are “wanted by the International Criminal Court” related to Benjamin Nenyanya’s name. Meanwhile, the words of Palestinian journalists are never enough – until foreign media (foreign media that are not allowed to enter Gaza) can make the final gold standard judgment. They were abandoned by the body of the news, and their truth was buried with them.

However, in Gaza, there will always be brave and innocent people who continue to report. Who wears a news ball jacket to make it a target. They continue to bear the responsibility alone to bring the reality of the world to the Gaza event, even if their voices and breaths are surrounded.
