Gaza blackout: Press ban breeds mistrust between Israelis, Palestinians
RT’s Paula Slier spoke with some of her colleagues, who talkedabout how they have tried to tell the stories of Palestinians andIsraelis across the frontlines of the conflict. These journalistshave also had first-hand experience with just how difficult a taskthis can be for reporters.Sami Al-Ajrami is a Palestinian from the Gaza Strip, who used towork in the Israeli media before the ruling Hamas party banned suchemployment. He cannot understand the ban, he said, which has closedoff yet another way of delivering the Palestinian message toIsrael.“Israel is using the media in its war against us,”Al-Ajrami told RT. “In this war journalists are under attack.They want to kill all our words and reports that prove that therewere war crimes in Gaza.” Ohad Hemo is an Israeli who used to work in Gaza until six yearsago, when Israel banned all its journalists from working in theregion over security issues. He believes that the Hamas ban hurtsfuture prospects for reconciliation.“I think that the problem of Hamas is normalization, andconnecting, trying, working with the Israeli media,” Hemoexplained.Now, only party-sanctioned journalists can report from Hamasterritory, resulting in a virtual media blackout. The lack of realinformation perpetuates stereotypes on both sides of the divide,which has done nothing but breed hatred and distrust, Slierreported. … Read More

TagsBiology, Cary Johnston, Children, Human rights, Immigration, Israel, Paula SlierEthiopian women have told RT that Israeli medics forced them to take the controversial Depo-Provera birth control vaccination without explaining the severe side effects of the drug, which can leave a woman unable to become pregnant for up to two years.The birth control vaccination was reportedly a requirement for
the women to immigrate to Israel: “They told me if you don’t
take the shot, we won’t give you a ticket, so I took the shot, but
I didn’t know that it would prevent pregnancies. I didn’t
know,” one woman told RT correspondent Paula Slier.The gruesome side effects of Depo-Provera are so severe that the
drug is not recommended for most patients.“We are talking about a contraception that has heavy medical
and mental effects – period irregularities, vaginal bleeding,
osteoporosis, alongside mental side effects like depression, mood
swings, rage and more,” said Sharon Eliyahu-Chai of the
Association for Civil Rights in Israel.At least six organizations – such as Tebeka, an Ethiopian legal
aid group – now aim to take the matter to court over alleged human
rights violations.Last month, the Israeli Health Ministry’s director general
ordered gynecologists to cease administration of the drugs, bowing
to public pressure after accusations that they had been forcing the
birth control injections on Ethiopian women without their
consent.Israeli officials have denied that the birth control program was
part of a plan to reduce the Ethiopian birthrate. The scandal has
worn on, with the organizations involved all pinning blame on one
another.For more, watch Paula Slier’s report from Israel.Share on Tumblr … Read More
