Western media, including Irish outlets, are failing the Palestinian people and our own profession by our reporting on Gaza. My take today in @thecurrency. Would appreciate a read. It is far beyond time for reporters to get their act together on this. thecurrency.news/articles/18489…
At least 113 people in Gaza have now died from starvation, including dozens of children, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza. Warning: this report contains distressing images
A report by +972 reveals that after a site is bombed, it’s often struck again to hinder rescue efforts. Soldiers and eyewitnesses say the practice has become routine in Gaza — and it even has a name: “double tap.” @yuval_abraham @972mag 972mag.com/double-tap-isr…
Important – Please share and tag all press freedom and human rights organizations Once again, the Israeli army spokesperson has launched a campaign of threats and incitement against me because of my work as a journalist with Al Jazeera. I reaffirm: I, Anas Al-Sharif, am a…
CPJ Urges Protection for Anas Al-Sharif Amid Israeli Smear Campaign The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has expressed deep concern for Al Jazeera correspondent Anas Al-Sharif, targeted by the Israeli military in what CPJ calls a dangerous smear campaign. Al-Sharif, who…
The IDF has stepped up online attacks on @AnasAlSharif0 since he broke down on air while reporting on the enforced starvation in Gaza. The 28-year-old reporter has been a vital source of news for international audiences over the past 650 days.

The ICC Pre-Trial Chamber has found that Hungary failed to comply with its obligations under the ICC Statute by not arresting Benjamin Netanyahu when he was in Hungary. The Court refers the matter of Hungary’s non-compliance to the Assembly of States Parties.
A few notes on the state of the Gaza "ceasefire" negotiations. Hamas has now submitted its response to the Israeli-crafted framework and Netanyahu responded by announcing he would recall his negotiating team from Doha. Israel has been pushing a narrative via leaks to mostly…
After 4 months of a near-total Israeli siege, Gaza’s hospitals now have wards for the malnourished children whose tiny bodies are just the width of their bones. Aid groups had warned of this for more than a year. Now a worst case scenario is upon us. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/…
Live now. Focused on US media, but also applies to European publications and Irish ones too.
Join us Thursday at 12pm for a panel with @AssalRad, @SanaSaeed, @prem_thakker, moderated by @SMArikat, to explore why Western media continues to whitewash a genocide. Is it culpability or is it ignorance? 📍The Jerusalem Fund, Washington DC thejerusalemfund.org/2025/07/wester…
🚨For the first time in their entire history, BBC, Reuters, AP & AFP say their journalists on the ground face death by starvation
Companies run by Séamus McEnaney have filed legal proceedings against people squatting in the famous House of The Dead property on Usher’s Island in the centre of Dublin. thecurrency.news/articles/19720…
Once again independent media doing the journalism mainstream media appears incapable of. Some impressive sourcing here to expose the government's dishonesty. declassifieduk.org/revealed-how-p…
It only took two years... but welcome. All major media, including in Ireland, should be sending out the same message & ensure to reflect the reality on the ground in each and every article, news bulletin, etc.
A joint statement on Gaza from AFP, AP, BBC News and Reuters

News: SocDems @GaryGannonTD will file legal proceedings today against the Central Bank over its role in facilitating the sale of Israeli bonds on the European market. thecurrency.news/articles/19712…
Great letter & can be applied to coverage of Gaza. When you can scroll the entire front page of the Irish Times app [as I did this morning] & not see a single story on Gaza, that is a clear failure to inform the public of the scale & unprecedented nature of what is happening.
Excellent letter from Glenn Fitzpatrick in @IrishTimes I’ve long thought that pol corrs focus too much on their take on the politics of an issue, and not on the substance or the wider public mood. We are told what we think and how we will react - and it’s often wildly inaccurate
Un agency chief reported that Israeli soldiers interrogated male staff members at gunpoint, and forced families to flee. middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-f…
Western countries will never be forgiven for their role in the deliberate and mass starvation of innocent children, in front of our eyes, in the year 2025. Genocide.
