This is one I missed earlier, it's from 19:10pm GMT on the 9th of November 2023, so almost 2 hours ago
This is DEEPLY fucking concerning. It also explains the earlier report about Reuters denying they had prior knowledge too. I can see them using this as 'justifiable cause' for targeting journalists.
In the way they claim Hamas is in every mosque, ambulance, portaloo, I'm waiting for them to start saying the journalists they murder were ones who recorded footage from the 7th.

A 16-year-old Oklahoma high school student who died a day after an altercation in a school restroom that may have been prompted by bullying over gender identity did not die as a result of injuries sustained in the fight, police said Wednesday.
Well that’s mighty convenient for the police and the students that assaulted the student who died! I guess it’s just normal for 16-year-olds to randomly die, and the fact that it happened the day after they had the shit kicked out of them by school bullies in the school bathroom is just a big ole coincidence? Or are the police insinuating that Nex died by suicide, which family have not indicated is the case.

I don’t know if this is something you can reflect on but a lot of people have been talking about how you’ve grown up in between these films and Paul obviously has to grow up very quickly too. Did you feel that?
“Absolutely. Yeah, at 23 I was simply a boy. No, but I do feel that too. At the beginning of the first film, he’s really protected by his privilege, literally behind walls. At the end of this movie, without giving too much away, he fully assumes his position as a leader. It’s a wonderful thing to play as an actor. I did get those years in between the films to grow up in my own life and get furniture.” (Laughs).

In her interviews aired on December 29 on Israeli channels 12 and 13, Schem emphasized that she had been forced to make the video, and that the medical “treatment” in it was a mere show.
She said she didn’t receive any painkillers for her arm injury, and that she had to change bandages by herself throughout her time in captivity.
Yet both Newsweek and The Guardian, which echoed her Hamas-controlled narrative, chose to ignore her story as a free person. Since the outlets didn’t think this merited an update to their original pieces, whoever reads those stories will still gets the false impression that Hamas treats its hostages humanely.
Other media outlets that covered Schem’s hostage video made the right decision to report on her interviews with Israeli channels.
But some outlets, while detailing her harrowing account, either distorted what she had said about her fear of being raped, or omitted it altogether.
AP reported that Schem said she was afraid that her captor “might try to harm her,” when she actually used the word “rape:”
The New York Times did not mention her saying it at all, but it should have highlighted it, especially after the publication of the newspaper’s investigative piece regarding Hamas’ sexual violence during its October 7 massacre in southern Israel.
In her interviews, Schem made several points that deserved to be mentioned — from her injury, to her starvation and constant fear in captivity.
But in light of recent criticism over the blindness to Hamas’ sexual violence, her comments about fear of rape deserved special attention — as they indeed received from Reuters.

WEAPONS USED BY the Israel Defense Forces, security cabinet leaks, and stories about people held hostage by Hamas — these are some of the eight subjects the media are forbidden from reporting in Israel, according to a document obtained by The Intercept. The document, a censorship order issued by the Israeli military to the media as part of its war on Hamas, has not been previously reported. The memo, written in English, was an unusual move for the IDF’s censor, which has been part of the Israel military for more than seven decades. “I haven’t ever seen instructions like this sent from the censor aside from general notices broadly telling outlets to comply, and even then it was only sent to certain people,” said Michael Omer-Man, a former editor-in-chief of the Israel’s +972 Magazine and today the director of research for Israel–Palestine at Democracy in the Arab World Now, or DAWN, a U.S. advocacy group. Titled “Operation ‘Swords of Iron’ Israeli Chief Censor Directive to the Media,” the order is not dated, but its reference to Operation Swords of Iron — the name of Israel’s current military operation in Gaza — makes clear that it was issued sometime after Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel. The order is signed by the chief censor of the Israel Defense Forces, Brig. Gen. Kobi Mandelblit. (The Israeli Military Censor did not respond to a request for comment on the memo.)
[...]
The order enumerates eight topics the media are forbidden from reporting on without prior approval from the Israeli Military Censor. Some of the topics touch on hot-button political issues in Israel and internationally, such as potentially embarrassing revelations about weapons used by Israel or captured by Hamas, discussions of security cabinet meetings, and the Israeli hostages in Gaza — an issue that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been widely criticized for mishandling. The memo also bans reporting on details of military operations, Israeli intelligence, rocket attacks that hit sensitive locations in Israel, cyberattacks, and visits by senior military officials to the battlefield.
[...]
“In order to get a visa as a journalist, you have to get approval from GPO” — Government Press Office — “and therefore you have to sign a document that says you will comply with the censor,” said Omer-Man. “That in itself is probably against the ethics guidelines at a bunch of papers.” Nonetheless, many journalists do sign the document. While The Associated Press, for instance, didn’t respond to The Intercept’s query about whether it cooperates with the military censor, the news wire has in the past reported on the issue, including admitting that it holds itself to the directive. “The Associated Press has agreed, like other organizations, to abide by the rules of the censor, which is a condition for receiving permission to operate as a media organization in Israel,” the agency wrote in a 2006 story. “Reporters are expected to censor themselves and not report any of the forbidden material.”

By  Brent Scher
A Jewish advocacy group filed a lawsuit on Wednesday charging the Associated Press with “material support of terrorism,” asserting that the news wire made payments to known agents of Hamas.
The National Jewish Advocacy Center asserts that on and after October 7, the date of the Hamas massacre of over 1,200 Israelis, the AP paid for real-time images of the attacks being carried out by photographers who are “known associates” of the terrorist group. Included in the group of images were scenes of Israeli hostages being transported into Gaza, where many of them have since been killed.
“AP’s website gave credit to photographers Hassan Eslaiah, Yousef Masoud, Ali Mahmud and Hatem Ali, for taking photographs of the massacre inside of the State of Israel,” the federal lawsuit filed on behalf of the group by attorneys including David Schoen asserts. “These photojournalists are known Hamas associates who were gleefully embedded with the Hamas terrorists during the October 7th attacks, and who sometimes worked for AP.”
“Upon information and belief, AP paid for the real time images of Israeli hostages being taken into Gaza despite having been warned well in advance that at least one of these so-called ‘journalists’ were in fact Hamas affiliates, and despite the clear indications that they were functioning as full participants of the Hamas terrorist squad that conducted the October 7th attack, and not as AP chose to pretend as journalists,” it continues.

Taipei. - PUPPETS CAPTURE TAIWAN TELEVISION -
Taiwan puppeteer holds aloft two sword wielding characters from one of the televised puppet shows that bring the island to an afternoon halt while just about everybody tunes in. Far from being upstaged, the traditional Taiwanese puppets have been given a shot in their cotton arms by television, and their sword-fighting fables with a raucous blend of Chinese and occidental music, empty most village streets in the afternoon.

The European Parliament voted 324-155, with 38 abstentions, to condemn the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade and demand that abortion rights be enshrined in the EU’s fundamental rights charter.
Why It Matters: The Supreme Court's decision last month to end federal protections for abortion was widely denounced by world leaders and human rights organizations.
• In the wake of the ruling, lawmakers in  Israel and France have taken steps to shore up their domestic protections for abortion.
The Big Picture: In the resolution, European MEPs expressed their solidarity with American women and girls and called for the U.S. Congress to pass federal protections for abortion, according to a European Parliament press release.
• The resolution called for EU countries to provide "safe, legal and free abortion services, pre-natal and maternal healthcare services, voluntary family planning, youth-friendly services, and HIV prevention, treatment and support, without discrimination."
What They're Saying: "The United States has clearly shown why we must use every tool available to safeguard abortion rights in the European Union,” said Stéphane Séjourné, the president of the liberal Renew Europe group in the EU Parliament, AP reported.
• “It teaches us a lesson: Women’s and girls’ human rights can never be taken for granted, and we must always fight to defend them,” Helene Fritzon, a Swedish politician who is vice president of a parliamentary alliance of Socialists and Democrats, added, per AP.
