Stop the blackout: Demand press access to Gaza now
“Israel’s war on Gaza deadliest conflict ever for journalists.”

That was the headline in April. Since then, it’s only gotten worse. Just this weekend, respected Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif, and four Al Jazeera colleagues, were assassinated - in a press tent, just outside a hospital.

Israel doesn’t want you to know what is happening in Gaza. They don’t want you to know the truth. Whether by banning international media crews from entering Gaza or by assassinating the brave journalists trapped there, the IDF wants to “finish the job” without the scrutiny of a free press.

Our leaders must demand safe and unfettered access for international press teams into Gaza. Journalists must be allowed to report properly - not confined to heavily-curated propaganda trips with the Israeli military. Will you tell them that now?
