I’m so happy to see this. The lack of journalistic solidarity & collective action over the killing of journalists in Gaza has been distressing.

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Two French journalist unions filed a legal case against Israel for obstructing the work of their journalists in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, AFP reported on Tuesday.</p>
<p>The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the French Journalists' Union filed the complaint with the Paris anti-terror prosecutor's office last week, accusing Israel of "obstructing the freedom to inform".</p>
<p>The complaint mentioned a journalist being pursued by around 50 Israelis armed with "guns, cans of petrol and sticks" while reporting in the West Bank, all in the presence of the Israeli army.</p>
<p>Israel has not allowed international journalists into the Gaza Strip since the start of the war in October 2023, except when embedded with Israeli forces.</p>
<p>IFJ general secretary Anthony Bellanger said, "For more than two years, the IFJ has been calling for the borders to be opened to the foreign press so that they can relieve our colleagues who are exhausted by two years of war."</p>

After two years of violence, #Gaza’s children are finally breathing moments of quiet.
The fragile ceasefire has given children a chance to breathe, connect, play and even start to heal.
But trauma, injury, grief, and shattered childhoods will take far longer to heal.

Today would've been my father's 106th birthday. I'm sure he would've been proud and delighted to see that his youngest granddaughter tried to reenact his most famous photo at the Acropolis earlier this year.

It would seem that, as one moves ever-closer to a box of one's own, one feels an ever-stronger tendency to place one's smaller valuables in nifty containers, as if one is preparing to hike into the grey hereafter.

It never ceases to amaze me that America's two right-wing parties have somehow managed to convince Americans that one of them is left of centre, because it is slightly to the left of the most right-wing party.
