INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISTS MUST BE ALLOWED INTO GAZA IMMEDIATELY!!

[OpenScroller]

Does anyone see an issue with that statement which has been parroted for 3 years and is the immediate rebuttal to considering whether Hamas is telling the truth?

What do you we think would happen if international journalists were given 'free, unfettered, unsupervised' access to Gaza and the Palestinians trapped there?

Do we think journalists would able to report on Palestinians who are not in support of Hamas, want to leave and not be used as human sacrifices?

What do we think would happen to those Palestinians after their stories have been beamed around the world?

It suits Hamas more than it does Israel that international journalists are not able to access Gaza.

They'd also see the new restaurants and all the well fed Palestinians!

I totally understand Israel's reasoning and do not believe it's because Israel wants to hide anything, it's in fact the opposite.

Does anyone else get this logic?

It's never happened or been questioned in any other conflict.

No. Israel occupy 70% of Gaza. They could give journalists and independent observers free reign over that 70% let them watch them bulldozing peoples homes, let them investigate bombed out hospitals and schools etc. There is no Hamas there, no one would be used as a 'human sacrifice' etc etc. They aren't though. Why do you think that is?

If you beleve Israel on this I have a bridge to sell you.

They'd also see the new restaurants and all the well fed Palestinians!

Go put your record on. Sing us your favourite song…….

Yawn.

World Food Programme. Or do you know better?

More than nine months into an extremely fragile ceasefire, 1.4 million people – two thirds of the population – are still facing crisis or worse levels of acute food insecurity.

Food security has improved modestly. However, if current levels of humanitarian food assistance are not sustained, up to 90 percent of the population could face high levels of acute food insecurity by the end of the year.
Most people in Gaza have been displaced multiple times and are living amid insecurity, damaged homes, poor sanitation and limited access to safe water. With 80 percent of people still unemployed, many cannot afford the fresh vegetables, fruit, protein and cooking fuel they need for a healthy diet.

So go you. FFS.

Logic??
The irony.

If Israel thought for one second journalists would support them they would flood the place with them.

The way some Israel supporters talk about the Palestinian people is so awful.

Let the free international press in and see.

I don't think I have ever read a post with such skewed logic. Phenomenal. Why not let the reporters in and if Hamas try to stop them reporting, they will say that which would back up Israel's lies.

Are people really this brain washed?

Israel are helping out Hamas by not letting in international journalists……honest to god!

“Israeli settlers beat press photographer as soldiers watch in West Bank.” Guardian yesterday.

Waiting for the photos from X showing all these well fed Palestinians.

In addition to shelter supplies, Israel is severely limiting the amount of food and supplies for meal production, fueling the ongoing hunger crisis facing Palestinians — particularly children, who require more sustenance for growth and disease prevention. “U.N. personnel have previously described Israel blocking humanitarians from bringing in peanut butter as nutritional assistance for children, claiming it’s a “luxury” and that Hamas may steal it.
“It is insane, because on the other hand, they are allowing chocolates and they are allowing sugar into Gaza, but they do not allow something like peanut butter, which is nutritious,” Jaser AbuMousa, a Middle East Institute fellow from Gaza, told The New Yorker last month. “The U.N. was hoping that it would be helpful because of all the malnutrition that the people are suffering from. So their claim that it’s a luxury is nonsense.””

Maybe they ate all the non existent peanut butter??

Spot on!

Are you on a wind up? Of course journalists should be let in. Those willing to go, I’m sure are well aware of the risks.

Cause Hamas are going to allow them free access to the people? Actually saw disintegrating journalism about Gaza schools where basic the curriculum was 'hate the jews'

Well considering they won’t even let them into Israel unless they toe the party line, then there’s little chance they will let them into Gaza to see the horrors they have committed there.

Kermani, an award-winning foreign affairs correspondent for Britain's Channel 4 News who has extensively covered Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, received a written notice upon arrival saying he would not be allowed into the country.
“Kermani said border control officials asked whether he believed Israel was committing genocide in Gaza and whether he considered Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist organizations.
"Is this a new government policy to only allow certain journalists into the country?" he wrote in a WhatsApp group that includes foreign journalists and Israeli officials. "Even when they work for mainstream news organizations?"”
After spending a short time in a detention facility at the airport, Kermani said the decision was reversed and he was allowed to enter Israel. He later wrote on X that he was concerned other journalists attempting to enter the country in recent weeks had encountered similar problems.

Just awful, a 63 year old International journalist kicked on the ground and beaten with sticks by Israelis, then they pulled her to her feet shoved her over and began beating her again.

A 63 year old woman left robbed with broken ribs and lacerations crying 'let me die' after being beaten whilst wearing her flak jacket and helmet clearly marked with Press. A respected, experienced photojournalist who has spent her career in conflict and war zones and this is what Israelis do to her?

It's beyond shocking.

And yet Netanyahu posted today that the facts around the incident are unclear.

Without cameras and journalists they can perpetuate this narrative of Israeli victims. It most certainly suits them for no journalists to be around.

Of course he did 🤬

Dreadful. Sometimes you just need to know when to apologise unreservedly.

There were lots of Palestinians there because they were working together to try and get the harvest in fast(we all know why it needed to be harvested quickly). There were 'far left activists' there to try and protect the farmers. There were journalists there documenting the Palestinian olive harvesting season. That's why everyone else was there not they need to provide a reason for being on their own land.

What were 40 masked Israelis doing on Palestian land as they were harvesting their olive trees?

Sssh @SingingShrews you have to keep the narrative going.
They were law abiding residents of Judea and Samaria not masked thugs.

Love the concept of "far left activists " feeds nicely into that Daily Mail/Fox News mindset.

Another day, another attack

Unbelievable!

While Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who is just days from a crucial election – described the incident as a "smear" campaign against Israeli settlers, France's top diplomat urged Israel to "urgently halt criminal violence".

Smear campaign? Is he for real? They're violent terrorists, reporting on what's happening is a smear campaign. Everyone is meant to just ignore it because we're hurting those poor illegal settlers feelings. He's not even denying it just annoyed it's getting reported.

I think the time has come to stop referring to them as settlers and just Israelis. Othering them like that makes them seem like a separate entity but they are not.They are state sanctioned and approved by the highest entities of government as well as a significant portion of the population.

Smear campaign, I would think quite the opposite. They (and their IDF protectors ) are excused for behavior that is inexcusable.
