"My colleague Fadi Alwahdi was just targeted by an Israeli sniper and shot in the neck. The goal is to kill us one by one." - Hossam Shabat, Palestinian journalist in Gaza @hossamshabat

I have no words except that Hossam and his colleagues are the bravest people on Earth, and I wish humanity was as courageous and as good as they are. I will never forget their heroism and millions of people around the world will never forgive those perpetrating these war crimes.

The pro-genocide mob at #UCLA specifically targeted student journalists just as Israel targets journalists in Gaza.

Catherine Hamilton, 21, told The Times she recognized one who had previously harassed her & taken pictures of her press badge. The individual instructed the group to encircle the student journalists, before they sprayed them with pepper spray, & chanted Hamilton’s name.

As she tried to break free, she was punched repeatedly in the chest & upper abdomen; another student journalist was pushed to the ground & beaten & kicked for nearly a minute.

Hamilton went to the hospital, when the bruising made it difficult for her to breathe.
