Om killing journalists – Nagham Zbeedat in Haaretz:

‘Just weeks after urging the world to protect journalists in Gaza, Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif was killed when an Israeli airstrike hit his tent in Gaza City. According to Al Jazeera, Al-Sharif was killed along with his colleague, Mohammed Qreiqeh, and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa.’

(…)

‘In a posthumous message posted on X, al-Sharif wrote that if this post is up, then "Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice."’

(…)

‘International human rights groups, press freedom advocates and journalists' unions condemned the killing as another blow to media coverage in Gaza and a grave violation of international law. The Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders called for an independent investigation.
Award-winning American war correspondent Janine di Giovanni, who has reported from many conflict areas, including Ukraine, Sudan, Syria and Gaza, wrote that "nothing compares to Gaza - or the complicity letting it happen. This is the intent to erase Palestinians - and we are watching it happen. This must stop. Now."’

(…)

‘In an interview with Egyptian outlet al-Qahera News, Mohammad Abu-Salmiyal, director of Al-Shifa Hospital (located directly opposite the journalists' tent) called the strike "another crime added to the list of crimes committed by the Israeli occupation." He said: "This crime aims to erase the truth amid the severe threats launched by the occupation during its invasion of Gaza City. They do not want any voices left inside Gaza to convey the truth to the world."’

They don’t want any witnesses left. What else is there to say? Messianism without witnesses.

Or let’s say, only certain witnesses.
