    Today, the @GazaFFlotilla Conscience sets sail from the boot of Italy, with hopes of bringing ~70 media and medical workers to Gaza’s shores amid Israel’s blockade on international press and killing of doctors and journalists. I’m onboard reporting for @JewishCurrents. More TK

    “objectivity” feels fickle when the basic terms we use to report news implicitly stake a claim. using “israel” but never “palestine,” or “war” but not “siege and occupation” are political choices—yet media make those exact choices all the time without being flagged as biased

    writings from a friend in gaza, shared with permission, 80 days into one of the worst civilian punishment campaigns in modern history. "i'm still alive and everything in me is dead." the powerful would crumble under a fraction of this grief.
