John,

Yesterday, the Israeli military intentionally targeted and killed at least
five Palestinian journalists in an air strike on a media tent outside of
Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza, including acclaimed Al Jazeera correspondent
Anas al-Sharif.

Ana al-Sharif and four other staff in a targeted attack on a tent in Gaza
City, taking the total number of journalists killed since October 7, 2023
to 269.

This is yet another war crime and a deliberate attempt to silence the
truth, as Israel continues to murder Palestinian journalists while banning
international reporters from entering Gaza.

According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, Israel has now killed
at least 186 journalists in total since October 2023, accounting for 70
percent of the world’s journalist fatalities last year. Other sources like
the United Nations say that figure is even higher, surpassing 242
casualties.

Experts at Brown University’s Watson School of International Affairs are
calling it the worst conflict for reporters in modern times, with more
media worker casualties than World Wars I and II, the Vietnam War, the
Civil War, and the War in Afghanistan COMBINED.

This latest attack on the free press comes as Netanyahu moves to rapidly
expand Israel’s military occupation to a full takeover of Gaza. We cannot
look away, John. And Congress
cannot continue to enable this.

[ [link removed] ]There are no excuses: every Democratic member of Congress should
condemn this mass murder of journalists and stop ALL weapons transfers to
Israel ASAP! Add your name now if you agree →

In solidarity,
