Abstract: - Excerpt: Gaza’s journalists diligently go to work even as they await their likely deaths. Unarmed witnesses to the truth, they have continued to do their jobs documenting reality only to be killed in droves by Israeli airstrikes. For them, journalism has long become more than a risk: It is a literal act of suicide. Working as a journalist means working toward a shroud; it means fighting to keep one’s spirit alive when death is everywhere. Targeting journalists is part of a deliberate Israeli plan to prevent the world from seeing what is happening in the killing fields of Gaza. Subject Headings |
