A Dangerous Profession, from Palestine to Iran: When Journalists are the Target
“Only the person who has experienced light and darkness, war and peace, rise and fall, only that person has truly experienced life.” – ― Stefan Zweig Throughout wars and even in the calmest situations, journalists, especially independent ones, have always been the target of their governments and their cadres. In this war, which is not […]
Local Journalists and Fixers are being Killed by Israel at unprecedented Rates in Gaza. Can anyone protect them?
By Simon Levett, University of Technology Sydney (The Conversation) – Journalist Mariam Dagga was just 33 when she was brutally killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza on August 25. As a freelance photographer and videographer, she had captured the suffering in Gaza through indelible images of malnourished children and grief-stricken families. In her will, […]

Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – The Paramount Global corporation has fired late night comedian Stephen Colbert even though Colbert dominated his time spot. Paramount owns CBS.

( Middle East Monitor ) – The website of a certain pan-Arab media organisation seems to be fixated on translating, commenting or briefing its audience on everything that US and Israeli officials say about the Middle East. Every threat made by US President Donald Trump, every tweet by an American official, however insignificant or inconsequential, […]
Gaza and Lebanon Atrocities: The international legal System has Collapsed, and Journalism is Collapsing with it
By Kristin Skare Orgeret, Oslo Metropolitan University (The Conversation) – The past year has been the deadliest for journalists since the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) began tracking fatalities in 1992. Since 7 October 2023, at least 146 journalists have been killed in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel, and Lebanon, though the actual numbers are […]
Is Piers Morgan normalizing Israel’s Genocide?
( Counterpunch ) – Since October 7, 2023, white settler propaganda has ramped up through two insidious tactics targeting western audiences. The first rationalizes Israel’s brutality under the pretext of “self-defense” of a supposed “civilized” western democracy in a barbaric region, exploiting the conflation of Zionism with Judaism and dehumanizing all Palestinian people as “terrorists” […]
