We go to Gaza to speak with award-winning Palestinian journalist Mohammed Omer. The twenty-four-year-old journalist and photographer from Gaza was physically and psychologically abused by Israeli security officials late last month. Omer, who is a correspondent for the Inter Press Service, was on his way back home after receiving the prestigious Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism in London.
If we expect peace between Palestinians and Israel the first step, and one that should never have been a problem, is insuring the safety of the Journalists. Can it be doubted that Israel is purposefully targeting journalists? Perhaps, but the world must condemn such actions in the harshest terms. For the record, this is not Israels first abuse of pro-palestinian journalists.
