The World Still Has Too Many Reporters

Brothers-in-propaganda;

After some 20 people were killed in an Israeli strike on a hospital in Gaza Monday, media zeroed in on their new favourite narrative, implying that because journalists were among the dead, they were targeted. Indeed, the headline carried by the Globe and Mail above a Reuters wire story read as if killing journalists was the point of the strike: “Multiple journalists killed by Israeli strikes on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital.” It wasn’t until several paragraphs into the story that it was reported that “Israeli troops fired two artillery shells at the hospital, targeting what they suspected was a Hamas surveillance camera on the roof.” […]

In fact, nearly half of the 197 journalists — listed by the Committee to Protect Journalists — killed in Gaza and Lebanon since the October 7 attack, “worked for media owned by or affiliated with terrorist organizations,” according to analysis by American journalist James Kirchuk. These include “journalists” who worked for the Hamas-affiliated Al-Aqsa TV, the Islamic Jihad-run Al-Quds Al-Youm and the Hezbollah-owned Al-Manar.

Considering those who are doing terrorist propaganda as “journalists” allows Israel’s media critics in the West to inflate the numbers of reporters killed and self-righteously claim, with little proof, that Israel is attacking freedom of the press. It also lets them feel like they have a right to be even more aggrieved against Israel, because Israel is killing people “just like me.”

Well, they’re not wrong.

You may well have seen Fteiha’s photos on your social media feeds: starving children desperately begging for food, empty pots in hand. But what he didn’t capture—and what others did—is the adult men waiting for, and receiving food, mere meters away.

Of course, there’s nothing inherently wrong with taking photos of hungry children, but if they’re standing right next to men who are receiving food, the question has to be asked: why are the photos of the latter not interesting to legacy media?

A leaked internal email from a BBC executive editor reveals that the Corporation has issued prescriptive instructions to staff on how to cover the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The memo, titled ‘Covering the food crisis in Gaza’, amounts to a top-down editorial diktat that discards impartiality, elevates one side of a deeply contested narrative, and imposes a specific anti-Israel legal-political framing as settled fact. The existence of this email is a telling sign of how the Corporation works to ensure its journalists stick to its own ideological angles.

“We want cooperation with Israel”

Art Of The Deal Pallywood 8 Comments

Via @EylonALevy: Massive story in @WSJ. The Palestinian Authority is facing a secession movement. The “Emirate of Hebron” wants to break away and make peace with Israel under the Abraham Accords.

“We want cooperation with Israel,” says Sheikh Wadee’ al-Jaabari, also known as Abu Sanad, from his ceremonial tent in Hebron, the West Bank’s largest city located south of Jerusalem. “We want coexistence.” The leader of Hebron’s most influential clan has said such things before, as did his father. But this time is different. Sheikh Jaabari and four other leading Hebron sheikhs have signed a letter pledging peace and full recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. Their plan is for Hebron to break out of the Palestinian Authority, establish an emirate of its own, and join the Abraham Accords.

The letter is addressed to Israeli Economy Minister Nir Barkat, a former mayor of Jerusalem, who has brought Mr. Jaabari and other sheikhs to his home and met with them more than a dozen times since February. They ask him to present it to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and await his reply.

“The Emirate of Hebron shall recognize the State of Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people,” the sheikhs write, “and the State of Israel shall recognize the Emirate of Hebron as the Representative of the Arab residents in the Hebron District.” Accepting Israel as a Jewish state goes further than the Palestinian Authority ever has, and sweeps aside decades of rejectionism.

The letter seeks a timetable for negotiations to join the Abraham Accords and “a fair and decent arrangement that would replace the Oslo Accords, which only brought damage, death, economic disaster and destruction.” The Oslo Accords, agreed to by Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization in the 1990s, “have brought upon us the corrupt Palestinian Authority, instead of recognizing the traditional, authentic local leadership.” That would be the clans, the great families that still shape Palestinian society.[…]

Mr. Barkat says the old peace process failed, so “new thinking is needed.” He has been working with the knowledge of his Israeli government to explore possibilities with the sheikhs. A senior Israeli source says Mr. Netanyahu has been supportive but cautious, waiting to see how the initiative develops. The timing may be out of his hands now that Sheikh Jaabari is extending the olive branch in public.
