Today, the IOF publicly threatened six journalists who have been reporting on the U.S.-backed Israeli war on Gaza for over a year. Use this email template or call script to contact every western news outlet, editor, and journalist you know: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
Despite the dangerous and untrue threats made against us from the Israeli occupation, we remain committed to our profession and will continue to report on this genocide .
