We translated and are republishing this text written by Shireen Abu Akleh in 2016 for Majallat al-Dirasat al-Filastiniyyah to commemorate her work. She discussed the role of media coverage in Palestinian uprisings, and Israeli attacks on the news media.
“We are being annihilated and killed, I speak to you from Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital. Crews are unable to locate sites of constant airstrikes. The situation is devastating! Uplift our voice perhaps this is the last message.
Journalist Ahmad al-Batta.”

Despite the risks, Palestinian journalists covering Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza are the epitome of the journalistic mission to report the truth. In this sense, journalism has long been a crucial part of Palestinian life in denouncing Zionist strategies and practices. 🧵
