“Resist the Normalization of Evil”: Israeli Reporter Amira Hass on Palestine and Journalism

Support our work: www.democracynow.org/donate?c...
Our guest is the Haaretz correspondent Amira Hass, the only Israeli Jewish journalist to have spent 30 years living in and reporting from Gaza and the West Bank. She is the recipient of the 2024 Columbia Journalism Award, and on Wednesday she addressed the graduating class of the Columbia Journalism School in New York City. Hass discusses the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza, why journalists should “resist the normalization of evil and injustice,” Israel’s recent censorship of Al Jazeera, its maintenance of a strict apartheid system, its complete rejection of the prospect of Palestinian statehood and more. “Israel took Palestinian life, liberty and freedom as hostage for the past 75 years,” says Hass. “You go to Tel Aviv, you think you are in New York or you are in London - and 40, 50 kilometers away, Palestinians live in cages.”
We also play an excerpt from the student and faculty-led “People’s Graduation” held Thursday at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City in response to Columbia University’s crackdown on student protest, which culminated in the administration’s cancellation of university-wide commencement. Centering Palestinian solidarity, the People’s Graduation featured speakers including the Pulitzer Prize-winning data journalist and illustrator Mona Chalabi, who praised the work of student journalists. While “our institutions have failed us these past seven months, … we listened to your radio stations if we wanted the truth,” she said.

You can google this comment and find it to be true, however disillusioning. Just think what it means to be a slave owner, ie. children are born slaves and made to labor at the plantation owner's behest. They don't get no childhood. And women, well we know there are Franklins &Jeffersons who are related to the early presidents. As I said, you can google these references.

when you try to tell the truth of what's happening too you get picked on accused of spreading hate or "exacerbating antisemitism", just for speaking up and saying the killing of innocent people is wrong. The "settlers", are making this very hard for both "the Palestinian people", and the Jewish people! it sucks that for 70 yrs the Palestinian people who have lived in this territory are controlled oppressed and separated from their family ect. Cant even go 1 mile up the rd with out going through 3 check points, even before this war started in oct 7th they have been controlling and oppressing these groups of people. The survivors of the holocaust are now sadly witnessing a new dictator and terrorist group this is what is so sad! Even the people of Iseral are saying "not in our name". military people are leaving or retiring early because they see what is happening in wrong! I hate how Amercian weapons are being used to kill innocent people and, in the end, will be left in the terrorists hands, and the whole world is standing by and watching all this and no one is helping or doing any thing for the innocent civilians being terrorized these last 7 months! this is what i don't understand why aren't nations coming together and say this is wrong. cease fire deliver food and water, and go after the terrorists and stop terrorizing innocent civilians.

Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717354582 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i. i.I.|-◖≤o^{°¶|•`~-😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Amira Hass deserves so much respect for providing such unbiased insights. It is so important for us to see what the Israelis are seeing and not seeing and how the plausible denial can take on such proportions. Her comment about drone usage and as she said, 'the pattern' that we see regarding press casualties and the shutting down of all International press media within Gaza, speaks volumes of intentions. Just as the shocking stats of Aid workers killed while attempting to deliver aid, speak volumes of the Israeli government's agenda. We don't require some hidden, covert documentation or footage to recognize these Genocidal patterns.
