Amira Hass warns of hidden violence (PMC)

AUCKLAND (Pacific Media Watch): The common imagery of Israeli airstrikes, destruction of property and the loss of human life is how international audiences see the Israeli-Palestinian situation.

But Israeli journalist and author Amira Hass says the issue needs to be covered when violence is not happening.

This is so audiences can “understand that there is an ongoing violence on the part of the Israeli occupation that does not necessarily have to be quantities of blood”.

Hass spoke at a seminar at the Auckland University of Technology about her experiences and "dilemmas as a 'non-objective' journalist".
