🇵🇸 Demands for media workers in this moment | Mondoweiss - 16/11/2023
Western media is implicated in the genocide unfolding in Gaza through its double standards against Palestinians, and deep institutional complicity and collusion. Here are the Palestine movement's demands on media workers and institutions.
Since the 7th of October, 25 Palestinian journalists and 13 workers for media agencies have been killed by Israeli bombardment. Over the same period there have been direct attacks on the homes of 35 journalists, killing dozens of their family members. At least 20 of the 25 journalists killed were intentionally targeted by strikes on their homes or during their work covering Israel’s attacks.

🇵🇸 Israel admits burning hundreds of people on 7 October | The Electronic Intifada – 18/11/2023
Israel has never explained how Palestinian fighters who crossed from Gaza on 7 October could have caused mass destruction to Israeli homes, as seen here in Kibbutz Be’eri, with their light weapons. There’s mounting evidence that heavy, indiscriminate fire by Israeli forces killed Palestinians and Israeli civilians alike.

Debunked: Israel's evidence of Hamas HQ in Shifa Hospital
A MEMO analysis of CNN and IDF footage from Israeli military raids at the Al-Shifa and Rantisi hospitals in Gaza appears to reveal attempts by the Israeli army to falsify evidence in an effort to assert the hospitals are being used as Hamas bases and justify attacks against them. Social media users were quick to debunk their evidence and raise question marks about their much touted 'intelligence' that Hamas has a command HQ under Gaza's largest hospital, Al-Shifa.

🇵🇸 No safe haven for media proffesionals: Israel’s genocide of Gazans results in highest rate of journalist deaths in modern history | EMHRM
Amidst its 44-day genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, Israel has launched a killing spree against journalists there, deliberately targeting media professionals and offices in an attempt to impose a real and comprehensive media blackout on the entire Strip, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said in a statement today.
As of Sunday 19 November, the Israeli military has killed 59 Palestinian journalists and injured dozens more, said Euro-Med Monitor. The organisation called it the highest-ever rate of journalists killed in wars or conflicts in modern history. The killed journalists all belong to media groups operating in the Gaza Strip, and include a correspondent for Palestine TV, members of the official Palestinian news agency, and others working for local and international media outlets and institutions.

🇵🇸 Translator Ayah Najadat: Arabic mistranslations are ‘weaponised’ against Palestinians
Errors like these are harmful, when language is distorted or weaponised to harm marginalised and vulnerable people.”
Arabic team lead for Respond Crisis Translation, Ayah Najadat, talked to Middle East Eye about how she and her team help with emergency translations in Gaza and other crisis areas and correct harmful mistranslations in media reports.
One such example was when Najadat’s team corrected a video report published by the BBC about a released Palestinian prisoner which featured incorrect subtitles, distorting what she was saying. The #BBC took down the video and corrected the error following the correction by Najadat’s team.

🇵🇸 Haaretz article: Detailing unverified and inaccurate accounts of the 7 October Hamas attack
A leading Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, has detailed how unverified and inaccurate accounts of the 7 October Hamas attack and alleged atrocities committed by Palestinian fighters, led to the widespread publication of stories that appear to be false.
Haaretz cross-referenced some of these allegations provided by Israeli officials and soldiers as well as search and rescue volunteers, in a report published on Sunday, and found that they did not add up.
Analysts have asserted that such spreading of misinformation and fabrications which typically focus on particularly inflammatory issues are used to rile up popular sentiment in favour of atrocities against a specific entity and in this case, have paved the way for Israel’s deadly assaults in Gaza.

Why is the media ignoring evidence of Israel’s own actions on 7 October? – Jonathan Cook
"What western governments and institutions should have done is demand an independent investigation to clarify the extent of Hamas atrocities that day rather than echo Israeli officials who wanted an excuse to trash Gaza and drive its inhabitants into neighbouring Sinai.
"The western media’s performance has been even more dismal - and dangerous. It professes to be a watchdog on power. But it has repeatedly amplified the Israeli occupier’s evidence-free claims, peddled libels against Palestinians with little or no scrutiny, and actively suppressed evidence challenging Israel’s official narrative"

🇵🇸 MEMO Monitoring: Is passive language being used to distort Israel's crimes in Gaza?
Why are Western news outlets using passive language to describe Israel's killing of Palestinians in Gaza? News editors will say it's because they can't verify the facts or trust the information provided by the Gaza health authority, so why have they been much more forthright in naming Russia as the culprit in their coverage of the Ukraine war? MEMO's Political Analyst Nasim Ahmed takes an in depth look at the media giants including the New York Times and the BBC's double standards when it comes to reporting Israeli and Ukrainian deaths vs Palestinian ones.
The Middle East Monitor was set up more than 14 years ago as a press monitoring platform. MEMO Monitoring seeks to continue this mission of observing how the Middle East is reported in newspapers, on TV and on social media.

Why the Guardian’s ‘Hamas mass rape’ story doesn’t pass the sniff test | Jonathan Cook - Blog
How is it that #journalists are not pausing to question the outrageous improbability of so many of the evidence-poor Hamas rape stories being advanced?
The Guardian has just published the latest in the western media’s endless cycle of stories claiming Hamas committed “systematic, mass rape” on October 7. Its article is headlined: “Evidence points to systematic use of rape and sexual violence by Hamas in 7 October attacks”.
The biggest problem with these stories isn’t just the continuing absence of any meaningful evidence for “systematic” rape; or Israel’s long track record of lying to justify state terrorism; or Israel’s refusal to cooperate with independent investigators; or the racist, anti-Arab tropes that pass for sophisticated analysis in western circles.
