23-year-old activist from Gaza schools Sky News anchor
A 23-year-old activist from Gaza schooled Sky News anchor for not reporting the facts about the Israel-Palestine war as they were customizing her choice of words while covering the war.
Yara Eid is a Palestinian War Journalist currently resides in London after growing up in the besieged Gaza Strip.
She also shared that her best friend — Palestinian journalist Ibrahim Lafi — and 30 members of her immediate family, 17 of whom were children, were killed by Israeli Defence Forces (IDF).
A young London-based Palestinian journalist called out Sky News anchor for not reporting the facts about the Israel-Palestine war as they were customizing her choice of words while covering the war.
As the Sky News anchor introduced the situation in Gaza, mentioning Israeli casualties as “killed” while using the word “died” to mention Palestinian casualties, Yara Eid pointed out that the host should choose her words wisely when it came to reporting the situation in Gaza
Eid said: “I just want to say before I continue talking about what’s going on when you first introduced what’s happening, you said, more than 1,400 have been killed in Israel and more than 4,000 in Palestine have died.”
“I think language is really important to use because, as a journalist, you have the moral responsibility to report on what’s happening.
“Palestinians don’t just die, they get killed. They are actually being subjected to ethnic cleansing, to genocide for the last 75 years. And you also mentioned that this is a Hamas-Israel war.
“And you also mentioned that this is a Hamas-Israel war. This is not it,” Eid, who is also a human rights activist and a global youth ambassador, continued to address the anchor’s misleading language.
“And framing it as such is very misleading because it poses the thing that Israel is an equal power, but it’s an occupying power and it has the responsibility of protecting all civilian lives and children in Gaza.”
“You need, as a journalist, to report on what’s happening and say it as it is,” Eid told the host.
Sky News anchor proceeded with her next question, asking Eid, “When Hamas launched an attack on Israel, as a Palestinian, what did you expect would happen next?”
Eid went on after apologizing for repeating the same lesson and said: “This is misleading because you can’t water down what’s been happening about the attack on the 7 October.
“Let’s talk about 2014, let’s talk about 2021. Let’s talk about all the aggressions.”
