One of the many devastating things about making this video was that we had to update it about three times during the making to account for further killings of journalists, including (you'll see at the end) a special mention of the 6 Al Jazeera journalists targeted by Israel. Please watch to the end.

Targeting journalists is a war crime.
As colleagues, we remember them.

Feel so proud to have contributed to this @withmeaa.bsky.social video with 100+ Australian journalists (all MEAA members) that honours the 180 journalists killed by Israel in Gaza. Watch it and weep.

STOP. KILLING. JOURNALISTS

MEAA condemns targeted attacks on Gaza journalists as a war crime as toll nears 200 deaths

MEAA supports the right to protest and freedom of expression. We stand up for press freedom across the world, including the almost 200 journalists that have been killed in Gaza since October 2023 — the fact that international media has been blockaded from entering Gaza is a press freedom crisis.

Nearly 200 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza. The rest work under sickness, hunger and fire to report the reality there. Meanwhile the rest of the world’s media is locked out. This is a global press freedom crisis and @withmeaa.bsky.social was proud to join the March for Humanity.

Unions stood up for the right to protest and for humanity and won: the judge has ruled the protest can go ahead, despite the objections of the NSW Police.

Support like this seems to have played an important role in the court’s decision. The judge said: “The evidence indicates there is significant support for the march.”

Hey David. If you want the union to do more on the issue, taking part is a good way to help.
