“When he joined Al Jazeera, I told him, ‘Those who work with Al Jazeera would die.’ He answered, ‘I’m not better than my colleagues. They are all my brothers.’” Exclusive interview with the mother of الجزيرة مباشر journalist حسام شبات, killed by the Israeli occupation in Gaza

‘Forgive me, mother. This is the path I chose—to help people.’ These were the last words of Rifaat Radwan, who filmed his own murder in Rafah. He was part of a Red Crescent convoy aiding wounded civilians. The convoy—clearly marked, unarmed, with flashing lights—was attacked on

One year since the Gaza Solidarity Encampment began at Columbia. I remember the electricity in the air—excitement at taking a bold stand against a genocidal institution, fear of the repression we knew would follow, and the continued grief of watching a genocide unfold in real

Buried in the The New York Times article about the resignation of 60 Minites executive producer Bill Owens is that Paramount’s controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone, complained about a segment on Israel’s war on Gaza.

Honored that our film “The Night Won’t End” won a Peabody Awards. We dedicate it to the amazing journalists in Gaza who worked with our team on it, the memory of the 200+ journalists killed by Israel and those in Gaza whose killings we investigated including 5 year old Hind Rajab

Yesterday, at Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, a girl-child came into this world, and the world rejected her. She had no brain. Not in the poetic sense of innocence or purity, but anatomically, literally: anencephaly. No cerebrum. No future thought, no dreams, no memory to be

It is now 8:05 PM, and I’ve been searching for food for my family since this morning. Finally, I managed to find some lentils. My mother and I cooked them, and as you can see, these are just three plates for nine people — none of whom have eaten anything since the morning.

The FBI began surveilling this man in 2008, when he was just 18. He was sentenced to 30 years for sending money to ISIS. But at the end of the article, we learn that the “ISIS supporters” he thought was dealing with were actually undercover FBI agents. wapo.st/4dabg75

If the rape is caught on camera, but the perpetrators are Israelis, and the victim is Palestinian, the The New York Times won’t cover it. But if there are no photos, videos or forensic evidence of the rape, no victims, but the alleged perpetrators are Palestinians & the alleged victims

Police have arrested a member of rap group Kneecap on terrorism charges. I have found video evidence of Israeli soldiers with British citizenship who the police should be looking into instead.

Exterminated while en route to try to grab a ration of aid. The Israeli military has transformed food into a bait for killing starving Palestinians in Gaza.

In front of the camera, a life, barely a new name, unaware that she came into a world that despises her. Despises her mother, father. Unaware of the heavy thing crushing her. That no one can hear her cry. That no one can save her from the heavy thing. Behind the camera,

I saw a woman today. No. She was not a woman. She was a shadow in human shape, curled in the ruins of a kitchen that no longer existed, feeding her infant an empty spoon. Over and over. “Eat,” she whispered, as if mercy could be faked long enough to save him. And the child

Today, I sat by the sea. The wind moved in gusts. The water was gray. I had come seeking silence, but it was already there, settled like dust over everything. Two girls passed. Barefoot. Their dresses were torn at the edges. No one stared at them. No one needed to. They were
