Israel first said it lethally targeted a car carrying journalists in Gaza because there was a terrorist in the car. Now it says that the use by a journalist of a drone made it "look like" they were terrorists. Targeting of civilians is illegal. 1/2.

Free speech does not mean freedom from consequences of speech. This is true. However, if the consequences of speaking lawfully are that you or your family face threats, assault, jail, or loss of income - whether government or mob-sanctioned - then you don't have free speech.

As a journalist, one of the first rules we were taught was never, ever to alter anyone’s quotes. It’s dishonest. And disempowering. If you don’t like the words someone uses, don’t use them. Or find your own. Don’t change theirs.

We @pressfreedom are pushing for al-Attar’s immediate evacuation. He is in a critical condition and needs urgent treatment that cannot be supplied in Gaza because of the destruction by Israel of Gazan medical facilities. The US - a defender of press freedom - should urge this.

"We’re living through the most misogynistic period I’ve experienced. Everywhere, women are being told to shut up and sit down, or else." This is so true of social media, esp. @Twitter. It ultimately means women are bullied out of a role in the political decisions that impact them.

For the people saying: 'Well, they shouldn't be in human rights organisations unless they support rights for EVERYONE.' I agree. However, the challenge with rights is they sometimes conflict and in that case it's vital there's space, like a court of law, to debate those conflicts.
