Hundreds of international media professionals have signed on to an open letter<\/a> published Thursday demanding an end to Israel’s killing of journalists in Gaza and urging Western newsrooms to call Israeli crimes\u2014including “apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide”\u2014by their names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The urgency of this moment cannot be overstated,” the journalists wrote. “It is imperative that we change course.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Citing the Committee to Protect Journalists\u2014which says<\/a> at least 34 Palestinian media professionals have been killed during Israel’s monthlong assault on Gaza\u2014the letter states that “as reporters, editors, photographers, producers, and other workers in newsrooms around the world, we are appalled at the slaughter of our colleagues and their families by the Israeli military and government.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are writing to urge an end to violence against journalists in Gaza and to call on Western newsroom leaders to be clear-eyed in coverage of Israel’s repeated atrocities against Palestinians,” the letter continues, adding that journalists have been killed while “visibly working as press, as well as at night in their homes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“An investigation<\/a> from Reporters Without Borders also shows deliberate targeting of journalists during two October 13 Israeli strikes in south Lebanon, which killed Reuters<\/em> videographer Issam Abdallah and injured six other journalists,” the signers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
