Israel’s recent move to ban Al Jazeera is just the latest in a series of actions aimed at controlling the narrative coming out of Gaza. For decades, Israel has targeted journalists who dare to report the truth about their occupation and settler-colonial enterprise. The ban on Al Jazeera is part of a broader strategy to silence Palestinian voices and carry out unimaginable brutality with media silence.
Despite the ban, Palestinians will continue to find ways to report their story and shed light on the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The systematic killing of Palestinian journalists is an attempt to kill the truth, but the stories they’ve reported will live on. Farrah Koutteineh, founder of KEY48, emphasizes the importance of intersectional activism and calling for the rights of Palestinian refugees.
The ban on Al Jazeera is a flagrant attempt to hide the reality on the ground, but Palestinian resilience and determination to share their truth cannot be stifled. For every outlet Israel bans, Palestinians will find another way to ensure their stories are heard.
