“Palestinian journalists in Gaza ‘Being starved’, media watchdog says” is the headline of a recent Financial Times article that relies heavily on faulty claims made by an agenda-driven body.
It quotes a Gazan reporter who used to work for a Hamas-affiliated news agency and gives an uncritical platform to hypocritical foreign media outlets urging Israel to help Gazan freelancers — some of whom worked alongside Hamas as it murdered Israelis on October 7, 2023.
The Financial Times’ main source is the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), a body that redefines international law to designate terrorists as journalists.
The article quotes Jodie Ginsberg, the CPJ’s chief executive, declaring that Gaza journalists are “becoming emaciated and struggling to focus,” which is “impacting their ability to report the situation.”
