Paul Conroy was a great journalist, human being and friend to so many. He did heroic things with incredible humility, and for all the right reasons. In an era when the frauds and propagandists are thriving, his passing is even more devastating. share.google/S6HCMfFcbLlQAM…

War correspondent and filmmaker @benjohnanderson joined me to detail the numbing physical and psychological elements of war reporting — and ponders whether or not the truth can really change anything. Link: youtube.com/watch?v=OrYw6p…

"Palestinian journalists right now are crying." Al Jazeera’s @Hind_Gaza became emotional as she described the Israeli attack on the Nasser Hospital in Gaza's Khan Younis that killed four Palestinian journalists.

At least 20 people were killed, including five journalists, by an Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza. Two shells hit the hospital in quick succession - the second exploding as journalists and rescue workers arrived at the scene. The UN said the killing of journalists should shock the world into demanding accountability and justice. The Israeli military said it regretted 'any harm to uninvolved individuals'. Warning: this report contains distressing scenes.

Over the last year, Palestinian farmer Saeed al-Amour has attempted to defend his land in the occupied West Bank, as settler attacks have become more frequent and violent. His olive groves near the Palestinian town of Al-Rakeez have become a target for Israelis from the illegal settlement of Avigayil, a kilometre away. Warning: this report contains distressing scenes of violence. Producer/Director: Katie Arnold Editor: Kristy Breetzke

@ferrarimanf355 @deray Sure. Anas was killed with 4 of his colleagues, meaning Israel has now killed at least 186 journalists since the war began, more than the number killed in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, combined. That enough for you or would you like some more?

@PacoCuatroBurro @NYMag Some are close friends, and brilliant, brave and honest soldiers. After we failed to deliver on all our promises in Afghanistan, they deserve sanctuary, and I think they’ll be a huge asset to the UK too.

Kudos to @NYMag for publishing this long and deeply reported piece by Suzy Hansen. Whether you know this issue well, or believe the myth that it’s too complicated to understand, it’s well worth your time, especially when we’re seeing so much cowardice from news orgs elsewhere
New York Magazine@NYMag

The accusation that Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza — likely hundreds, maybe even thousands — has become all but undeniable. Even Israel’s supporters, those who defended or withstood this publicly broadcast nightmare for 19 months, have reached some semblance of a limit. For our latest cover story, @suzyhans examines how the war in Gaza has upended decades of humanitarian law: nymag.com/intelligencer/…

I'm not sure that people realize how abnormal it is for journalists to be killed in wars. More have been killed in Gaza (232) than in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (+Cambodia and Laos), the Yugoslav wars, and the Afghanistan war, combined.
