Australian journalists’ union condemns targeted killing of Gaza journalists

The Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) has released a statement condemning the targeted killing of the five Palestinian media workers and the killing of nearly 200 others "as a war crime."

The organisation called Israel's accusation of working journalists as terrorists a "baseless smearing," saying that the assassinated journalist Anas al-Sharif’s “reports brought to the world the reality of the horrors being inflicted by the Israeli Government on the civilians in Gaza.”

The statement also pointed out that the Israeli military "shockingly" used a target emoji on the social media post confirming the targeted killing of the journalists.

“The targeting of journalists is a blatant attack on press freedom, and it is also a war crime,” MEAA said. “It must stop.”
