Israel Assassinated Anas Al Sharif

For two years, journalists like Anas Al Sharif fulfilled their duty and honored their profession with a level of dedication, heroism, and devotion that transcends anything humanity has ever known. They worked without pause, day and night, while enduring the most horrific personal losses, while watching their families, relatives, colleagues, and communities killed and destroyed around them. They never stopped, not for a moment. They honored their profession and worked tirelessly to convey the truth.

For two years, reporters, activists, citizen journalists, and writers in Gaza did everything they could, and more, to document what was happening.

And what did they get in return? They were cynically erased, dismissed, ignored, and ridiculed by their Western "colleagues." They were structurally deemed "untrustworthy." The footage they captured, the stories they told, the accounts they recorded were cast aside, doubted, or denied. Israel has killed more than 230 Palestinian journalists in Gaza. Each one, in life and in death, was mocked and belittled. “Everyone in Gaza is a journalist,” Zionists laughed, as they waged one of the most relentless dehumanization campaigns in modern history.

Israel murdered Anas Al Sharif and his colleagues because they were Gaza’s last remaining voices capable of covering what is happening. Israel murdered Anas and his colleagues because it does not want the world to witness the crimes it is about to commit in the coming weeks.

Israel assassinated Anas Al Sharif and his colleagues. This was a deliberate, targeted assassination carried out with the full knowledge and intention of its perpetrators. Israel killed Al Jazeera’s team on purpose to impose a blackout on Gaza City ahead of the upcoming massacre. Do not, in any shape or form, entertain claims like “we didn’t do it,” “we did it but it was a mistake,” “Hamas bombed them,” “they bombed themselves,” “we don't know who did it,” or any other such LIES. Israel assassinated Anas Al Sharif and his colleagues with premeditation and malice aforethought.

We will never forget, and we will never forgive. We are forever indebted to Anas Al Sharif, Ismail al-Ghoul, Hossam Shabat, Muhammad Qeriqaa, Nour Qandeel, Ahlam al-Talouli, and a long list of heroes who were killed for nothing more than telling the truth. They are our heroes because they are of us, because they told our stories, because they are our eternal voice, because they will forever be remembered as the voice of the oppressed, the people of conscience, and all who value the truth. They will live forever in honor and dignity.
