Olga Cherevko Showed the World What's Happening in Gaza. Israel Won't Let Her Return

"The depth of human suffering that I saw in Gaza City," she says, "is really just beyond my imagination. In any other place, if you have legs or even if you don't have legs and somebody can carry you, you can usually run and find a place that is safer," she says. In Gaza, however, there is nowhere to run. There is no place the war hasn't touched – it's simply everywhere.

An Israeli government representative told the Supreme Court on Monday that opening the Rafah crossing does not necessarily mean journalists will be allowed to enter the Gaza Strip, arguing that their entry still poses a security risk.

The Israeli Supreme Court was hearing a petition filed by the Foreign Press Association in Israel, which is demanding that journalists be allowed into Gaza to report on the situation on the ground.

According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the government representative said allowing entry could expose journalists to security dangers, without giving further details.

Judge Ruth Ronen responded that “simply referring to security risks without defining them is not enough,” adding that there has been a major change in the reality on the ground.

The panel of judges decided to hear the Israeli army’s position in a closed session.

This is the second petition of its kind. The court rejected the first one when the war began.

The Foreign Press Association submitted the current petition a year and four months ago, but the court repeatedly approved Israel’s requests to delay its response.

In early January, the Israeli authorities told the Supreme Court that the ban on foreign journalists entering the Gaza Strip should remain in place, according to a memorandum submitted by the Attorney General’s Office on behalf of the government.

CAIR Congratulates UpScrolled for Protecting Free Speech....and more

The pro-Israel extremists who now own TikTok in the United States have already gone on a predictable censorship spree, allegedly limiting posts critical of Israel, ICE, Jeffrey Epstein, and the Trump administration.

What the Ellisons do not realize is that young people censored on TikTok have no intention of giving up their activism. Young Americans have repeatedly shown that they will not allow politicians, corporations, or colleges to censor their speech.

We applaud the young people speaking out against TikTok’s censorship spree and joining other platforms, including UpScrolled. We commend UpScrolled for pledging to protect the free flow of ideas on its platform, including both support for and opposition to the Israeli government’s human rights abuses.
