9 journalists in one massacre. Nine!
Happy International Women's day y'all
They killed the olive trees. They killed the little children. They killed the unborn. They killed the father. They killed the mother. They killed the journalist. They killed the journalists entire family. They killed all the aunts and uncles. They killed the doctors. They killed the soul of his soul. They killed the groom. They killed the bride. They killed the cats. They killed the elderly people older than their apartheid state. They killed the thousands of memories painted on the walls. They killed 30,000+ Palestinians that we will never get back. [@/ missfalsteenia on X. 01/07/24.]

3 journalists have been killed in less than a day. As soon as I opened up X to check-in for more updates, I saw this. The IOF are evil and absolutely monstrous.
For those who aren't aware or if you heard about this, during the ICJ trials there is a Social Media Storm for Palestine:
Please fill* [post-edit me -I meant fill not film*] your queue and drafts with their hashtags during this time frame so IOF war crimes and crimes against humanity can continue to be exposed.
May Sherif rest in power and peace.
Caption on post -
Interview with released prisoner and cancer patient Mohammad Aklouk, who had been detained since the start of the war. Mohammad describes the horrific conditions of his detainment, including the small, oppressive cell windows and the inability to see sunlight. The repression units frequently ordered prisoners to drop to the ground and brutally beat them. Mohammad emotionally recalls a fellow prisoner, Mohammad Al-Kahlout from Jabalia, who was struck in the head and died in his arms. Aklouk is one of 70 prisoners who were released on June 11th 2024 through the Zikim crossing west of Beit Lahia currently staying in Kamal Adwan Hospital.

![Israel killed my colleague and friend Montaser Al Sawaf. Imagine reporting on the killing on your friend, a person you lived with for weeks. I can't stop crying [source: @ Hind_Gaza, 12/01/23.]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d1d089ab4279a4938bc8da653beda9f6/4a5611639b127172-10/s500x750/7236f4b4dec681c5175376ad51a77d1a8cb53917.jpg)
This is a picture of Montaser Al Sawaf, another Palestinian journalist killed by the IOF:
I am continually enraged by the normalization of Palestinian people's deaths in mainstream western media, and the constant dehumanization of each of their lives. They are not just numbers -they are people who have dreams, ambitions, livelihoods, families, friends, hobbies, and interests.
The IOF is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, is breaking dozens of international laws and UN Conventions -is committing mass genocide -but a small fraction of people in power get to determine the narrative of 'who is the REAL victim here,' by reinforcing IOF and American propaganda which sides with settler-colonial violence -and it is beyond abhorrent.
Al Mashhad reporter Mohammad Balousha was shot by an Israeli sniper, and he is reportedly bleeding and has lost connection due to telecom outage. — Quds News Network (@QudsNen) December 16, 2023
Mohammed Balousha is the journalist who filmed 5 premature babies decomposing in Al Nasr hospital.

Heartbreaking news out of north Gaza today
We write to inform you that renowned journalist Ismail Al-Ghoul and cameraman Ramy El-Rifi of Al-Jazeera were murdered just a few hours ago by the occupation. They were going out to document the scene of another bombing attack, when they were deliberately targeted by the occupation. Footage provided by journalist Osama Al-Ashi in the immediate aftermath of the attack shows that Ismail and Ramy were murdered with targeted precision weaponry, meaning the occupation watched them, waited for them, and executed them in cold blood (warning: graphic footage).
Ismail and Ramy have been documenting the genocide at immense personal cost since the 7th of October 2023. They were previously kidnapped and tortured by the occupation, but survived and continued to remain in north Gaza and document crimes against humanity. They have had many narrow escapes, and today, the occupation was finally successful in its illegal goal of assassinating these prominent journalists.
When western journalists hand-wave their suppression of the IOF’s atrocities in Gaza by claiming no journalists are “allowed” in to report, remember these men. Remind them of these men. These men who lost friends and loved ones, who suffered immensely, and yet chose to remain and continue documenting the genocide against their people. They join the ranks of more than 150 Gazan journalists who were murdered by the occupation to hide its crimes and retaliate for speaking the truth.
حسبنا الله و نعم الوكيل
أنا لله و أنا اليه رجعون
God suffices us and he is the best disposer of affairs. We belong to God and to Him we shall return.
Keep fighting for Gaza. Don’t stop talking about north Gaza.

I’d just like to acknowledge that South Africa wouldn’t have such a strong case without the work of the journalists, both alive and martyred, on the ground in Gaza supplying the world with firsthand information about the genocide and that they deserve thanks for it.

A new round of Israeli bombardment targeting al-Shifa hospital earlier today killed 26 Palestinians who sought refuge in the medical complex. [@/ Hind_Gaza on X. 12/18/23.]
