Gaza and the absent media battle again!

Once again, the media battle in Gaza imposes itself on the events in light of the continuation of the genocide crimes led by the Israeli occupation army for the eleventh consecutive month, while various international media outlets are prevented from reaching the Strip and transmitting the atrocities that are taking place...

It is true that we are in the age of modern technology and in the age of the citizen journalist and in the age of the transmission of information and its crossing of all barriers in moments, but it is also true that what happened and is happening in Gaza is a burden more dangerous and heavier than the media or bloggers in Gaza can bear alone. The killing machine that does not stop there requires more than one camera, more than one media campaign, and more than one media solidarity campaign, not only to expose the crimes of the occupation, but also to exert all kinds of pressure and push the occupation to end the genocide it is committing in Gaza, whose bleeding does not stop...

Of course, by media solidarity, we do not mean what some Arab satellite channels have done by placing a picture of Al-Aqsa in a corner of the screen that is not absent from various news, artistic, or other programs that the follower hardly notices and which does not remind the viewer in any way From the conditions that Gaza is exposed to and it leaves hardly any noticeable trace in it..

Yes, this is not the first time that a UN official has called on the media to convey the suffering of the people of Gaza and to pressure the occupation to allow UNRWA to provide its necessary humanitarian services to the Hague sector, which is facing a raging war of extermination and a process of starvation, displacement and ethnic cleansing in every sense of the word..

The call came this time from the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, who urged journalists and international media institutions to support their colleagues in Gaza and pressure Israel to allow press crews to enter the sector to convey the suffering there freely...

Lazzarini, the UN official who faced accusations and threats from the occupation of supporting Hamas resistance elements, says that international journalists’ coverage of conflicts and wars is a constant, but not in Gaza..

Lazzarini did not hide his admiration for Palestinian journalists and their appreciation for their efforts and sacrifices as they continue to carry the torch despite dozens of journalists in Gaza being assassinated by the occupation’s bullets..

Over the course of eleven months of open war of extermination On Gaza, where the occupation used all types of weapons, including internationally banned weapons, the occupation, which imposes a stifling siege on Gaza by land, sea and air, deliberately prevented the entry of international media outlets into the Gaza Strip and transmitting what is happening there to the world. The occupation even deliberately invited international journalists on tours in the occupying entity to present the Israeli narrative of this war, but without allowing them to reach Gaza or listen to the people or transmit what the people of Gaza are exposed to from daily bombing and destruction that exceeded all expectations. All of this is happening while Gaza has recorded, since the flood of Al-Aqsa, 172 female and male journalists being assassinated, most of them while performing their duty in transmitting the bloody events in Gaza, and among them were those who were targeted with their family members and were blown up from the civil records. Targeting journalists and photographers in Gaza is no different from targeting the people of Gaza, whether women, children, elderly, sick or injured, wherever they are, and they are targeted despite wearing press vests and media helmets, and despite their movement in cars bearing the logo of the institution to which they belong in most cases... All of this despite The repeated warnings of international human rights organizations..

There are many reasons that push us to believe that Lazzarini’s call will dissipate, just as many calls issued by international organizations, including the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, and the International Security Council, to stop the aggression have dissipated.. We are facing a rogue entity that is skilled at deception and playing the role of the victim and benefits from the flabbiness, fragility, and decadence of the Arab position, the division of the Palestinian scene, and the collusion of the major powers bound by the guilt complex that granted the occupying entity, and still grants it, the immunity required to continue walking on the skulls and corpses of the victims and to continue to disdain and drown international resolutions in the blood of the victims whose pictures are published around the clock on various social media sites without this hastening the movement of the international community and international public opinion to end the holocaust that certainly bears the signature of the occupation, but without forgetting with it all the regimes and governments that provide it with a destructive military arsenal and give it all kinds of ammunition and incendiary bombs... And after more than 333 days of genocide, calls to punish the occupation and prevent Its armament is limited and modest... and even what has been responded to is nothing more than throwing dust in the eyes, including Britain's decision to grant 30 arms export licenses to Israel and the announcement by British Foreign Secretary David Lammy that Britain will immediately suspend 30 arms export licenses out of 350 export licenses to Israel; due to the risks of such equipment being used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law, but the reality is that what has been announced does not represent one percent of British weapons directed to this entity...

The media battle in support of Gaza and in rejection of the war has not yet begun...
