Everyone who has been angered by horrific images of starvation in Gaza needs to recognize that they wouldn’t see those images, and wouldn’t know about the atrocities their governments bankroll, without journalists risking their lives. That is exactly why Israel is targeting and killing them.

Quote card from FPF Advocacy Director Seth Stern that reads: "Israel is killing journalists for exposing its atrocities in Gaza. Now, perhaps more than any other time since the killing began, the world understands how vital these journalists’ work is. The calls for the assassinations to end must be louder than ever, and we can’t let our leaders get away with mere expressions of concern or performative condemnations while the money and weapons Israel uses to exterminate journalists and other civilians keep flowing."
