Day 39: Follow a Palestinian Journalist for Honest Reporting on Gaza

Today, we break through the propaganda machine that sanitizes genocide and centers settler colonial narratives over Palestinian lived experience. When we follow Palestinian journalists directly, we bypass the corporate media filter that transforms mass murder into "conflict" and ethnic cleansing into "war."

The corporate media's complicity in genocide becomes clear when we compare their sanitized coverage to the raw truth documented by Palestinian journalists risking their lives to report. These voices don't just provide information, they preserve testimony of ongoing crimes and resist the erasure that enables continued violence.

Today's Action:

  • Follow credible Palestinian journalists for honest Gaza reporting

  • Recommended: Plestia Alaqad (@plestia.alaqad on Instagram) - Award-winning journalist whose viral video dispatches during the early bombardment captured global attention. Now has 4 million followers and recently published "The Eyes of Gaza: A Diary of Resilience"

  • Share their content to amplify Palestinian voices over corporate propaganda

  • Reflect on how direct Palestinian testimony challenges mainstream narratives

  • Consider the courage it takes to document genocide while living through it

This isn't about consuming tragedy—it's about centering Palestinian voices in conversations about Palestinian liberation. When we follow these journalists, we participate in collective witness that makes genocide harder to ignore or deny.
