“I’m hurt by my fellow journalists. They didn’t create pressure or raise their voices for my release. I was arrested because of my work. I hope every free journalist hears me.”

How Israel treats a female Palestinian journalist:

Israel launched air attacks that killed several Palestinians despite the ceasefire, saying they were in retaliation for a Hamas attack in Rafah that killed two Israeli soldiers — a claim the group denies. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage: aje.io/5fnl8c

Nick Seebruch sits down with @royinori.bsky.social, co-founder of @cjjpmedia.bsky.social, to discuss why many journalists in Canada remain hesitant to cover #Palestine.

Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack in Israel “plunged the region into a devastating war.” That’s how an Associated Press article opens – one that some of Canada’s largest news outlets published today. But Oct. 7 wasn’t the day this started. Today, with @cjjpmedia.bsky.social, I'm giving a history lesson:

📢 We urgently call on governments across the world, the United Nations General Assembly and the international community to take immediate and concrete action to stop #Israel’s human rights violations in Gaza, including the deliberate targeting and killing of journalists. @abellanger.bsky.social

Israel: Two years of killing journalists and controlling the narrative in Gaza / IFJ

🔴 In two years of war, over 223 Palestinian journalists have been killed in #Gaza in the deadliest period in the history of journalism. As journalists, unionists and, ultimately, humans, we cannot accept that reporters are killed amid indifference, be that in Gaza or elsewhere.

We co-sponsored a screening of Gaza Doctors Under Attack by Paramedics for Palestine last week, on October 3. It’s a must-watch documentary originally axed by the BBC but presented elsewhere. Thanks to CJJP member Mary Newman for representing us at this event.

We held a press conference on parliament hill earlier this week. 🎤 Four of our members addressed the federal government as well as media organizations across the country. @smohyeddin.bsky.social @brishti.bsky.social @asadch.bsky.social @abihayward4.bsky.social

I'm not seeing a single mention of the six Canadians on the Sumud Flotilla in any major news outlets.

Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 11mo ago

As others, including Ireland, rush to help their citizens involved with the flotilla, here’s what Canada’s government told me of the six Canadians on board: “The Government of Canada is not able to guarantee the safety of Canadian travelers, or to provide them with security and protection abroad.”

Let’s be clear: Israel has no “right to isolate” Gaza. The Global Sumud is challenging an illegal siege, which uses starvation as a weapon of war. CBC's framing erases that reality and launders a crime against humanity. #SumudFlotilla #Gaza

This is what professional ethics looks like: A must watch press conference by @cjjpmedia.bsky.social 👏👏👏

@cjjpmedia.bsky.social held a news conference today excoriating the Canadian government and media outlets for their complicity in genocide. That there is virtually no coverage of this news conference is damning.

Last week, Canada issued a statement "reaffirming its commitment to the safety of journalists" in Gaza. But it did not specify how it plans to hold Israel accountable, only calling on the government to take action. @cjjpmedia.bsky.social is going to Ottawa with some ideas.

Israel still bars foreign journalists from entering Gaza. But this weekend, if you're in Toronto, you can see up close the destruction Israel has wrought in Gaza. CJJP is partnering with Toronto Palestine Film Festival to bring an immersive VR experience. Find us at TIFF LIGHTBOX on Sept 27 & 28.

Today is #PeaceDay. It's paramount to protect journalists reporting from conflict zones, particularly in Gaza. We echo the calls of @pressfreedom.bsky.social, @rsf.org, & @cjjpmedia.bsky.social to demand their safety and condemn Israel's blatant killing of journalists. bit.ly/47BA6Mt
