A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die
July 21, 2025

AFP has been working with 1 writer, 3 photographers and 6 videographers, all freelance, in the Gaza Strip since its staff journalists left in 2024.

Along with a few others, they are now the only ones left to report what is happening in the Gaza Strip. The international press has been banned from entering the territory for nearly two years.

We refuse to watch them die.

One of them, Bashar, has been working with AFP since 2010, first as a fixer, then freelance photographer, and since 2024, as lead photographer. On July 19th he managed to post a message on Facebook: “I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can’t work anymore.”

Bashar, 30, works & lives in the same conditions as all Gazans, moving from one refugee camp to another under Israeli bombings. For > a year he’s lived in utter destitution, working at extreme risk to his life. Hygiene is a major issue for him, with recurring bouts of severe intestinal illness.

Since Feb, Bashar’s been living in the ruins of his home in Gaza City with his mother, 4 brothers & sisters and the family of one of his brothers. Their house is devoid of any furnishings, except a few cushions. On Sunday morning, he reported that one of his brothers had “fallen, due to hunger.”

Even though these journalists receive a monthly salary from AFP, it’s no longer enough to buy food, or they have to pay completely exorbitant prices. The banking system has collapsed, and those who exchange money via online bank accounts charge a commission of up to 40%.

AFP no longer has the ability to provide them with a vehicle and there is not enough fuel to allow these journalists to travel for their reporting. Driving a car means becoming a target for Israeli airstrikes. AFP reporters therefore travel on foot or by donkey cart. (alt txt continued in next post)

I’ve cocooned myself in numbness to get through this. To get out of bed each day. In spite of clear evidence that we have succumbed to the worst angels of our nature. Get up, go out, listen and watch as a “Christian nation” perverts the Gospel. Proudly. Defiantly. Persistently. Gleefully.

One's perception of Mamdani comes down to one’s perception of Israel. If you believe, as I do, that Israel is committing genocide, that israel should exist as a state with equal rights for Jews and Palestinians, and that pro-Palestinian activists aren’t a threat to Jewish freedom, then you’ll have no problem embracing Mamdani. But if you fall on the other side of those issues, you absolutely will. And it may not be possible to bridge that gap.

It can be difficult to explain to people living in fear that it’s possible to choose another way. If you’re being bombarded with messages about someone trying to destroy you, you may believe it after enough repetition. The politics of fear have been used as a cudgel against the American Jewish community in the months since October 7th, presenting us with a contrived binary: Either huddle tighter within ourselves, or align with outsiders. But Mamdani’s win destroyed that false choice by showing that Progressive Jews could align amongst ourselves and then unite outward with a multi-racial, multi-faith coalition that supports prosperity for all.

Protesting is one of the most American and fundamentally democratic actions one can take. This country was born out of protest against tyranny. It became a democracy after the Civil Rights movement because of protest. Don’t let the media & the illiberal traitors in the White House flip this script.
