"Our major problem covering Israel-Gaza right now... is that we can't get there." @amanpour pic.twitter.com/RLTLy6pCV3 — The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) April 11, 2024ALT

حسام شبات @HossamShabat The biggest problem is not Western journalists being unable to enter, but the fact that Western media doesn't respect and value Palestinian journalists. My colleagues and I risk our lives every day to report on this genocide . No one knows Gaza like we do, and no one understands the complexity of the situation like we do. If you care about what's happening in Gaza, you should amplify Palestinian voices. We don't need Western journalists to tell our stories; we are capable of telling and reporting on our own stories.ALT
Erasure of Palestinian journalists and voices is part and parcel of genocide https://t.co/36dXWSFnG5 pic.twitter.com/DRiTiClvuU — Tameem | تميم (@TameeOliveFern) April 11, 2024ALT

One of the implications of claiming ‘independent’ western journalists are needed is that Palestinians are biased and incapable of reporting on their own extermination. Keeping western journalists out is to undermine the credibility of news from Palestinians *already* reporting. https://t.co/AoAH8eXn8F — David Lo Pun-ch Nazis (@helpmeskeletor) April 11, 2024ALT

Western journalists are trying to “we weren’t on the ground” their way into absolving themselves of their participating role in the genocide. Don’t let them off the hook just like that. They could’ve worked with Palestinian journalists. They could’ve gone to cover West Bank. — Tameem | تميم (@TameeOliveFern) April 11, 2024ALT

They could’ve stopped parroting IDF spokesperson’s statements uncritically. They could’ve stopped using dehumanising passive voice (ie haiku). They could’ve stopped whitewashing Israeli crimes. They could’ve stopped being a dick to their Palestinian guests (“do you condemn…”). — Tameem | تميم (@TameeOliveFern) April 11, 2024ALT
