FRANCE 24, RFI among 130 press groups calling for ‘immediate’ access to Gaza

[bannork]

At the initiative of Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), more than 130 international news outlets and press freedom groups – including FRANCE 24, RFI and Monte Carlo Doualiya – on Thursday issued a joint appeal calling for the “immediate, independent and unrestricted” access to Gaza for international journalists.

 

They also called for the “full protection” of the Palestinian journalists working there. Nearly 200 journalists have been killed by the Israeli army in Gaza over the past 20 months.

 

Open letter from international media and press freedom groups on access to Gaza:

Let the world’s press in your Gaza with no restriction on where they go, who they talk to and what they report.

 

 

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.

That did not work out too well with Al Jazeera and the Saudi news network. They turned their "reporting" into anti Israel  campaigns, and some  "journalists" were affiliated with terrorist groups and used the cover of the Press  identification to support terrorist activity. If Al Jazeera was blocked from entering while others were allowed in, the  news media would scream  discrimination.

 

An Al Jazeera reporter was just exposed as circulating false  information blaming  the IDF for the  most recent  alleged deaths at an aid center. The lies that were circulating on social media was repeated  in this forum. The BBC  has been obliged to retract its story that relied on the Al Jazeera information.  However, the groups who promoted the claim have not, and some AN  prolific posters have stayed quiet. That's what your "journalists" are doing.

an Al Jazeera journalist offered "New footage reveals the horrific massacre committed by Israeli forces near a US aid distribution site in southern Gaza."

You really have lost the plot, let the worlds press in with no restrictions in a war zone where the enemy do not wear combat uniforms and hide among the civilians. Talk about ignorant to reality.

 

Besides there have been plenty of International reporters there including from the BBC but they have to be embedded as with all wars. Why are there different standards for Israel?

It was the same in Iraq with the US military, any journos had to be carefully vetted and were then only considered if they agreed to be embedded.

 

But hey if International journalists still want to go and mix with Hamas and the local population hoping they are not going to be taken hostage, let them go. Hamas will love it.

All the more reason to let in more reporters.

Like in every other war. Press is never restricted in war time, right? 

 

Of course, the press to you and your ilk means Terrorist aiders and abettors.

“For 20 months, the Israeli authorities have refused to grant journalists outside of Gaza independent access to the Palestinian territory - a situation that is without precedent in modern warfare,"

 

I’ll ignore your baiting remark.

True, the amount of hamas members posing as press in media outlets like Al Jazeera is truly obscene, there's even topics on it months old.

Yet that is simply untrue. Proof already provided that you are obviously deliberately ignoring.
