@azmatzahra.bsky.social:"by that same logic, you could target somebody who had previously worked for or had previously been in a military and became a journalist. And I think that's a really, really dangerous precedent to set." Like w/ targeted killings, tolerating such violations will damage IHL

Important read from the always impeccable @azmatzahra.bsky.social among many other strong contributors. Every journalist, as well as open source researchers, should take a moment for this and take action now to defend press freedom in Gaza.

Important read by @azmatzahra.bsky.social, @meghnadbose.bsky.social and @laurenwatsonjourno.bsky.social. They asked experts, thinkers across the fields of journalism, human rights, literature, academia, and advocacy for innovative, unconventional ideas to defend press freedom in Gaza.

"We need to alter our mindset and make structural changes to how we operate and how we advocate, or we will watch our colleagues be wiped out in place after place and conflict after conflict," @nickturse.bsky.social tells @columjournreview.bsky.social.

“The tactics being pioneered in Gaza – complete information blackouts, attacks on journalists with impunity – risk becoming the new normal unless the international community wakes up to what’s at stake,” @azmatzahra.bsky.social Maurice Oniang'o.

I spent the last few months reporting across the northern parts of the West Bank, where Palestinians in camps gave extensive accounts of the Israeli military increasingly deploying Gaza’s war tactics, including the IDF using civilians as human shields: nyti.ms/4fZLmTV
