Betrayal of Palestinian journalists

THERE are two types of war correspondents. The first type does not attend press conferences. They do not beg generals and politicians for interviews. They take risks to report from combat zones.

IT WAS astonishing to read about the death of Ahmad Saeed Tazazaa (20 years old) on August 3, 2025, inside Israel’s Magiddo prison.

The Gaza Riviera

ISRAELIS do not see the images of skeletal corpses of Palestinian children who they have starved to death as a curse.

Israelis do not look at...
