Israeli Violations Against Palestinian Journalists

Abstract

The Palestinian media has fulfilled a significant national role in forming and building up the awareness of the Palestinian people wherever they are. It called for and adopted all national values that aim to end the occupation and protect the Palestinian identity from disappearing, especially as the occupation's endeavours to Judaize and Israelize the Arab and Islamic history of Palestine continues. For a long, the Palestinian media has played a supporting role in the popular and military resistance. This study addresses five main topics: Protection of journalists in the international law, the types of Palestinian media outlets and their development, the national role of Palestinian media and journalism in the Palestinian struggle, the Israeli violations against Palestinian journalists, and statistics on the Israeli violations against Palestinian journalism in the past decade. The researcher used the descriptive analysis approach. The study results show that journalism is important in Palestine and is deemed as a part of the Palestinian national work, and the occupation committed all sorts of violations at the Palestinian journalism without being held accountable. The study recommends the formation of a unified Palestinian body that represents journalists in Palestine, and that has a solid reference across the Islamic countries; and the formation of legal committees that can prosecute the occupation at international institutions in order to hold it accountable for the violations against the journalists.
