Скачать или смотреть Journalists murdered by Israel

In a clip from today’s podcast, Ed, Oli, and Ava discuss the murder of journalists by Israel during its ongoing assault on Gaza. As the death toll among reporters and media workers rises, the team unpacks why these targeted killings matter, what they mean for press freedom, and how the international community has failed to respond.

Amongst those killed in an attack on a tent located outside the main gate of Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital were Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, Al Jazeera, Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh, and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa.

The conversation also turns to the Palestine Action arrests that took place over the weekend. The group, known for its direct action campaigns against companies supplying arms to Israel, saw hundreds of activists detained (the majority of which were over fifty).

Finally, they address the Labour government’s increasingly indefensible stance on Israel’s occupation. With growing public outrage, mounting evidence of human rights abuses, and a rapidly shifting global narrative, why is Labour doubling down?
