'The success of Palestinian cinema is that it tells the stories of a people with a cause — not just political, but also social and emotional, people who are holding on to their identity wherever they are,' actor Maria Zreik tells Vera Sajrawi ڤيرا سجراوي. 972mag.com/palestinian-fi…

Little remains of the village from which +972 editor Vera Sajrawi ڤيرا سجراوي's grandparents were uprooted in 1948. Living out the rest of their lives close by as internal refugees, they yearned for what was taken from them. 972mag.com/al-sajara-nakb…

Israeli army intentionally targets AlJazeera and Reuters crews southern Lebanon. Another crime against innocent journalists

🔎 @Amnesty has verified 6 videos of an attack on 13 October 2023, resulting in civilian casualties along Salah-Al Deen street, a route the Israeli army had designated as safe for civilians to flee after an Israeli ‘order’ told them to leave northern #Gaza.

I24News journalist India Naftali just posted a video from 2022 claiming it was a Hamas rocket hitting the hospital - now she is sharing another unverified video of the alleged launch failure #disinfo #IsraelGazaWar #Gazagenocide

To be clear, publishing footage of iron dome rockets or Hamas rockets don't constitute an "investigation". An investigation involves investigating, not having Israeli journalists publishing different VHS quality content on their social media #GazaAttack #gaza

Israel just launched a ground war on Gaza. Outcome will be a humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions for years to come. Voting against Arab #UNGA resolution means approving this senseless war, this senseless killing. Millions will be watching every vote. History will judge.

We can’t take it anymore, we’re exhausted… We’re gonna get killed, it’s just a matter of when. There’s no protection, no impunity. These PPEs don’t protect us. Nothing protects journalists. We lose lives, one by one… Mohammed Abu Hatab was here, half an hour ago.

Older than Israel, witnessed AlNakba, Israel made her a refugee again.

Israeli settlers accused my husband’s business supporting Hamas. They threatened they will bomb the cafe. They did, they scraped the whole street - all the cafes with a seaview were destroyed. We lost everything.

Staff at Shifa Hospital have shared this photo of their heroic attempts to keep the premature babies alive in an operating theatre after they were forced to shut down the NICU. Taken 6pm today. Attacks on the hospital must end, and aid must be allowed to reach it. #CeasefireNOW

Ali Samoudi, a Palestinian journalist currently held by Israel without charge, is being denied medical care and access to his medication, according to his son. #FreeAliSamoudi #JournalismIsNotACrime
