‘If you’re an Arab journalist, you’re political’: Hind Hassan on Gaza & western media | Real Talk

[@joelbitton]

I am a 73 year old man and I have spent the better part of my life trying to understand why I seem to always feel a certain sadness in my heart. Then I thought, maybe this had something to do with it. Hopefully this story brings out others like me. In 1963 Zionists came to my home in Casablanca Morocco, to convince my parents to send me and my little sister to Israel without them. I was 12 and my sister 9 when we started our miserable journey to the "Promised land". It destroyed our family and left me and my sister with long lasting scars neither one of us has been able to heal. Being from Morocco made it even more difficult to live in a more racist country than Morocco ever was. We had a very peaceful life as Jews living amongst Muslims in Morocco. We understood each other and helped each other. To this day, the principal advisor to King Mohamed is a Jew. But the Zionists needed boddies to fill Israel and slowly claim more and more land from the Palestinians they kept displacing. The people running Israel are not Jews. True Jews would have helped the Palestinians evolve and share in their fortunes, like we did for centuries in the Arab world. Israel claims it is defending itself? Against whom? The people they have been displacing and opressing for 80 years? Israel, my advice to you, if you want to survive, get rid of the religious zealots who run your government and join the 21st century.

Thank you for sharing this. Maybe you should write about it, I mean beyond social media. This story has so many parallels we don’t think about even don’t know about and they are important.

Fake islamobot account

Asilah (Morocco) still has a place next to the coast where Jews used to live with Muslims. Zionism has been doing dirty tricks to get jews like you out of those Arab countries to fill occupied Palestine. Zionism is a continuation of the Nazis but on a different mission. In Asilah there is a graveyard specifically for Jews who used to be buried there before the Zionists came because Jews had their own graveyard. Zionism has ruined the world. Just like Brittain. They never learn, all they care about is power. But the power is now in decline.

[@gghstlr]

Jews didn’t help Muslims to evolve. That sense of superiority is misplaced and ahistorical. It’s my sons who perform the first surgery, invented astronomy and astrology and founded the first universities and libraries so please stop. Nobody needed you to help them “evolve”

[@aidykathleen]

I love Hind Hassan, incredible journalist, so great to hear from her here.

[@AbdSmamajej]

J'ai eu le plaisir de regarder un documentaire signé par cette brillante journaliste, tourné en territoures occupés, sur bbc si je ne me trompe. Admirable pour son courage et sa détermination. Bon courage ma fille, mon fils continuons à dénonder et condamner le génocide commis par israél, qui compte sur l'usure du temps pour faire oublier ses monstrueux crimes Toute ma gratitude

[@salskars6637]

Excellent interview. Thank you both.

Nice to meet Hind Hassan❤

From the River to the Sea, Palestine 🇵🇸 will be free.

[@LaurieCoco-t8z]

Truly appreciate your keen insight.

[@LifeIsForEmos8D]

Please continue your amazing work. The voices coming out of Palestine can be hard to hear above the noise mixed-in by mainstream media. You amplify it greatly and it is greatly appreciated! God bless you!

[@sumaaami925]

The Palestinian journalists not only extremely professional, they are also extremely honest, unbiased, courageous, and hardworking! Each of them are worth Nobel prize, but alas they are not with propaganda, so it doesn’t matter to the world

[@mof5490]

Nobody is unbiased

[@jillfryer6699]

@@mof5490 we can see it as something to try for.

[@Abraham-uk4xy]

I have seen her reports on Vice news and Al Jazeera. She is a brave lady with honest accurate reporting.

It will come, the puzzles are divided and are coming together.

[@Coffee23]

A Scottish medic with UK-med who spent six months in Gaza has said the Gaza hospitals have treated more than 350,000 injured Palestinians since Oct 7, 2023 - that's 350,000. 👀

FREE PALESTINE PEOPLE

[@mischevious]

I don’t think it’s that Palestinian journalists are “political” as Hind says. Rather the underlying point appears to be full spectrum erasure. It’s glaringly obvious particularly in US media for example, no one utters the word Palestinian if they can help it. People will twist themselves inside out in order to not say their name. Or if they do the wording used is always slanted against them. Jews were “murdered”, Palestinians “died”. And any opportunity to refer to them as Arabs, as Isrlis see them, is always seized upon. In Isrl, their citizen registry labels all Palestinians as Arabs.

[@AisuruMirai]

That's basically what she's saying. The label "political" is used as a pretext by the Western mainstream media to silence or discredit Palestinian and Arab voices. Nothing they say matters because the West has decided that whatever they say is political, agenda-driven, not objective.

[@joaobaptista8377]

Hind and Isobel are prehaps the greatest Female journalists from VICE.

[@hoomaen]

No need for 'female'

[@gghstlr]

It’s weird that you have to make the female qualification. They’re just the best.

[@nativetube]

No men journalist had balls to take interview of yahya sinwar, but she did it. Women power is real, I'm saying this as a man ​@@gghstlr

Justice for Palestinians.

[@tempacc9589]

Western journalists call supporting the empire apolitical.

[@lenavennerstrom5951]

A Palestine journalist is political! Why? Beacuse Palestine is not a country, is not a democratic state or nore a company.

[@MeellowMaallow]

Free free Palestine

[@handleisGG]

she's soo pretty mashallah 🥰

[@ashishuparwat9951]

But why these journalists don't show their powerful journalism in muslim countries ? Why don't they raise question on Democracy in the muslim countries?

[@camilakhalifa2397]

You re really not smart enough. Because Western countries dont want them free!!! Best example is sissi egypt. His salary is from the us

[@GeorgeHamilton-pt2fh]

what is the concern right now is keeping reports coming from Gaza...not 'democracy' in Muslim tribes

[@jillfryer6699]

49min. Its 2025 & 18th Jan.

[@senadmarovic3530]

What is happening in gaza is beyond words but one thing im going to say is arabs have them selfs to blame they have been shitting on one another for centuries over tribalism and other things like who is right Sunni or shia instead of tolorainting each other and agreeing to disagree from time to time and that's why you have Israel thriving because they are united and your not

[@GeorgeHamilton-pt2fh]

Uttterly irrelevant histrionics mate!!..get some education in 'relevance'

[@michelegosse7116]

when 2 have a dispute, either a brit or an usmerican had their finger in it. (fill in whose quote). Undeniable.
