"Disgraceful": Rashid Khalidi Slams Israeli Attacks on Journalists, Detention of Rep. Ro Khanna
Armed Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have carried out a number of attacks in recent days targeting local Palestinians and foreign journalists, as well as detaining U.S. Congressmember Ro Khanna during a fact-finding trip. Khanna said that when Israeli forces arrived, they sided with the settlers. “The U.S. government just merrily goes along funding these atrocities against American citizens, not to speak of atrocities against Palestinians who don’t happen to be American citizens,” says Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said professor emeritus of modern Arab studies at Columbia University. “All of this is being done with our tax dollars.”

Remembering Ahmed Wishah, The Latest Palestinian Journalist Killed in Israel
Israel is continuing to attack Gaza despite the so-called ceasefire. Israeli strikes killed Ahmed Wishah, a cameraman with Al Jazeera, and at least six people, including two children, on Saturday. Wishah’s brother Mohammed, who also worked for Al Jazeera, was killed in an Israeli strike this April. Israel has now killed over 260 journalists in Gaza, including at least 12 working for Al Jazeera, since October 2023. “We don’t see the type of outrage that we would see if a Western journalist was killed by a country that is not a U.S. ally,” says Sharif Abdel Kouddous, Middle East and North Africa editor at Drop Site News. “It’s really a shameful state of affairs.” Kouddous also comments on the expansion of Israel’s “genocidal tactics” in Gaza that have now been “exported outside of Palestine in places like Lebanon.”

How to sell a genocide: Israeli Hasbara and the Western media | UpFront
Israel continues to violate the Gaza ceasefire brokered by the US last October, killing more than 1,000 Palestinians including at least 265 children. A recent attack on Gaza’s Bureij refugee camp killed Al Jazeera journalist Ahmed Wishah. He is one of more than 200 Palestinian journalists - and the 12th Al Jazeera journalist - to be killed by Israel since October 7, 2023. Has Western media helped normalise Israel’s violence against Palestinians? And how has US corporate and legacy media coverage of the genocide in Gaza over the last two and a half years shaped public attitudes and political decisions? This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks to journalist Adam Johnson, author of the new book “How to Sell a Genocide”. #gaza #palestine #israel #unitedstates #media #journalism #westernmedia #aljazeeraenglish

Video: Israel kills journalist Ahmed Wishah in Gaza
Video: Israel kills journalist Ahmed Wishah in Gaza Al Jazeera journalist and cameraman Ahmed Wishah was killed in an Israeli air strike on the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, according to health officials. The strike reportedly killed three people. Other attacks across Gaza on the same day were also reported to have killed additional Palestinians, including women and children. Wishah's death adds to the growing number of journalists killed during the war in Gaza. Press freedom organisations have repeatedly described the territory as the deadliest place in the world for journalists. He was killed two months after his brother, Al Jazeera journalist Mohammed Wishah, was killed in an Israeli attack. Media and rights groups say the mounting toll on journalists has severely limited independent reporting from Gaza and increased concerns over press freedom and the safety of reporters working in the territory.
