My Saturday, August 17th Press TV discussion of Israel killing journalists in Gaza and the letter to Blinken from over 100 journalists, news outlets, and press freedom organizations calling for an arms embargo.
Their blurb:
A coalition of journalists and press freedom advocates has condemned the US for facilitating Israel’s intentional killing of journalists in Gaza.
More than 100 journalists, 20 News outlets and 7 press freedom organizations made the statement in a letter addressing the U-S Secretary of State Antony Blinken. They called on the U-S to do more to protect journalists by imposing an arms embargo against Israel.They said Israel’s killing and silencing of journalists is enabled by US’s weapons, military aid, and diplomatic support. They argued that the US provision of weapons to the regime makes Washington complicit in one of the gravest affronts to press freedom today. The letter also pointed out that the regime has killed more than 160 Palestinian journalists, which is the highest number recorded in any war. The coalition said Israel's killing of journalists are aimed at censoring its war crimes.
