MEMO | August 10, 2024

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate mourned two journalists from the Gaza Strip who were killed by the Israeli army on Friday.

The Syndicate called on International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan to immediately investigate the Israeli crimes committed against journalists.

This was conveyed in a statement, a copy of which was received by Anadolu Agency, in which the Syndicate mourned journalists Tamim Muammar and Abdullah Al-Soussi, who were killed in a bombing of the city of Khan Yunis in central Gaza, denouncing this “crime”.

The Syndicate reported that Muammar worked as an editor at the Voice of Palestine (governmental) radio station, while Al-Soussi worked for Al-Aqsa TV (affiliated with Hamas). The journalists were assassinated in two separate airstrikes on Khan Yunis, along with a number of their children, family members and relatives.

The Syndicate considers the assassination of Palestinian journalists a “systematic crime” committed by the Israeli army.

The agency called on: “The International Criminal Court Prosecutor to quickly begin investigations into the occupation’s crimes against Palestinian journalists.”

Earlier on Friday, Wafa news agency quoted medical sources stating: “The bodies of 14 martyrs arrived at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis as a result of the occupation’s ongoing raids on various parts of the city.”

It added that an airstrike targeted: “The Muammar family home in the Tahlia area in central Khan Yunis, leading to the martyrdom of fellow journalist Tamim Muammar from Voice of Palestine radio.”

Meanwhile: “Local sources announced the martyrdom of journalist Abdullah Al-Soussi in an occupation airstrike that targeted his home in Khan Yunis,” according to the agency.

With the killing of Muammar and Al-Soussi, the number of journalists killed since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza has risen to 168, according to official Palestinian figures.

With US support, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since 7 October, leaving more than 131,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them women and children, with more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and deadly famine.

In disregard of the international community, Tel Aviv continues this war, ignoring the United Nations Security Council resolution to stop it immediately and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Murdering Babies is “Permissible” When They’re Palestinian

What the Media Missed on Itamar

By ALISON WEIR | CounterPunch | March 17, 2011

US media have been widely and repeatedly reporting on the awful March 11 murder of three small Israeli children and their parents. While no one yet knows who committed this act, reports presume that the murderers were Palestinian, and for this reason the incident is receiving major attention. Various heads of state, including President Obama, have condemned it.

If it turns out that the murderer or murderers were Israeli, as some previously presumed “terrorists” have turned out to be, or a foreign worker who had previously threatened the family over unpaid wages, as some reports from the area suggest, it is likely that coverage of the incident will quickly vanish from U.S. headlines.

For now, however, American news reports continue to provide excruciating details about the atrocity. Given the amount of reportage, it is surprising how much significant information is omitted.

For example, none of these reports mention that the location of the murders, Itamar (near Nablus), is an illegal Jewish-only settlement on stolen Palestinian land in the midst of refugees whom Israel pushed off their ancestral land through massacres and ruthless military actions.

Nor do reports mention the frequency with which Israeli settlers beat, occasionally torture, and sometimes murder Palestinians of all ages, burn their crops, and hack down their groves of olive trees, the livelihood of many Palestinian villagers; hundreds, at least, of these trees, have been destroyed by rampaging Israeli settlers. … continue
