HUGH LANNING says there is no path to peace without dismantling Israel’s control over Palestinian land, lives and resources
THE horrific death toll among Palestinian journalists is staggering. Less easy to comprehend is just how exceptional is the scale of slaughter. So, for context, I compared the most up-to-date lists of the dead with the mortality rate among combatants in recent wars — and the results are truly shocking.
At the start of the Israel-Gaza war, there were approximately 1,000 journalists working in the enclave. Movement in and out of Gaza has been severely restricted for many years, so we know that there were no international journalists among them, although some are employees of international news platforms.
Since October 7, the deaths of Palestinian journalists has been an almost daily occurance. There are various measures of the total media death toll, the International Federation of Journalists puts to total as 75 — but with slightly different methodologies, other tallies reach just over 100.
