Today at a Glance:

Joint Meeting of Flagler County Commission and Ormond Beach City Commission 5:30 p.m. at Ormond Beach City Hall, 22 South Beach Street, Ormond Beach, Conference Room 103. Ormond Beach sued Flagler County over a disputed land use matter in the Hunter’s Ridge area at the south end of the county. Flagler County argues that the lawsuit is unnecessary, as it is based on speculated fears that the county would turn an access road through woods, called 40 Grade, into an asphalted road in the future. The two sides are attempting to work out their differences.

Notably: From Reporters Without Borders: “Reporters Without Borders (RSF) reiterates its call to the international community to protect Palestinian journalism and step up pressure on Israel for an end to the massacre in Gaza, where more than 105 journalists have been killed since 7 October, including at least 22 killed in the course of their work. Gaza is still inaccessible and subject to constant bombardment but few journalists have been allowed to leave. “Protection” is the emphatic response from Gazan journalists when asked by RSF what they most need in Gaza today. They have lived in constant terror since 7 October, counting the deaths of loved-ones and colleagues. According to RSF’s tally, at least 105 have so far been killed by Israeli airstrikes, rockets and gunfire, including at least 22 in the course of their work. Despite repeated calls from NGOs, including RSF, for the Rafah border crossing to be opened, only journalists embedded with the Israel Defense Forces have been able to enter Gaza and they are restricted to covering Israeli permitted areas. Israel has meanwhile allowed only a handful of Gazan journalists to be evacuated.”

—P.T.

 

Now this: RSF has met with some of the evacuated journalists in the Qatari capital, Doha, including Al Jazeera’s iconic bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh, Agence France-Presse (AFP) photojournalist Mahmoud al-Hams, RSF correspondent Ola al-Zaanoon, and her son, freelance reporter Moussa al-Zaanoon.  They describe the risks they ran to keep reporting the news as Gaza continued to be completely closed. “We felt it was up to us to provide the entire world with information,” RSF’s correspondent said. “A journalist was killed or wounded every day,” her 24-year-old son added. “I was in constant fear of losing my father, my mother and my own life, but I understood that it was my duty to report what was happening.”

Six months of war are six months too many in which more than 100 journalists have been killed in Gaza. This massacre must stop. Gaza’s reporters must be protected, those who wish must be evacuated, and Gaza’s gates must be opened to international media. The few reporters who have been able to leave bear witness to the same terrifying reality of journalists being attacked, injured and killed. The Israel Defence Forces are silencing those who are driven by a duty to report the facts. RSF calls on the international community, its leaders and its governments, to do everything to step up pressure on the Israeli authorities to end this disaster. Palestinian journalism must be protected as a matter of urgency.

–Jonathan Dagher, head of Reporters Sans Frontieres’ Middle East Desk.

    How many neon signs do we need to see to realize what is going on? This country has been in a state of perpetual ignorance and isolation for so long that whenever we defecate on something, or someone it is presented as a bouquet of roses.
    The” Head in sand” Approach to reaching their ends in this genocide, takes no prisoners, especially the press. Netanyahu and the IDF consider the press enemy number one. Simple. Kill them. Close them.(Al Jazeera) Push them aside. Brilliant strategy to hide the fact that there is so little pushback from anywhere while you continue to” Mow the lawn” In Gaza.
    This is”The American fork in the road”and the road, and the road we have chosen will not only put us on the wrong side of history , But it pretty much ends our respectability internationally.
    The highest office in the land, as well as all tributaries below have purposely gone deaf in regards to our people and what they want, at least the vast majority. Gazza makes the public service aspect of our government nonexistent, all while Biden, Blinchen, Miller, and Austin have the audacity to tell the world they care about Palestinians and or civilians.
    The simple answer is we care about Israelis more. Much more . We will flight Palestinians and Hamas in hopes of convincing the world. Israel is right to murder Palestinians in discriminately.
    It is backfiring and will continue to do so. Gazza was over when we chose to fully align ourselves with the”Hitler” Of the 21st-century. Yeah you heard me right. Hitler.
    Gazza is way way bigger than just the Middle East because what we are doing. There will initiate the loss of our identity as a country..
