39 journalists have been killed in the first month of the Israel-Gaza War, the deadliest month since CPJ started keeping statistics in 1992.

34 were Palestinians; nearly all died from Israeli airstrikes, many in their homes with their families: cpj.org/2023/11/journa…

People who say 'this isn't the time for context' want you to be misinformed. Context is everything. Context is the difference between a stabbing and a surgery, between revenge and justice, between oppression and protection. Insist on context and be curious.

I read somewhere yesterday that we shouldn’t refer to Gaza as an open air prison, because that implies some sort of criminal activity has caused Palestinians to be there. Rather, for accuracy, it must be called what it is: a concentration camp.

I don't think people understand the gravity of this. The Israeli government--'the only democracy in the middle east'--is trying to make consumption of certain media punishable by prison. This isn't mere suppression or censorship. This is totalitarianism.

I've stayed quiet on the appropriation of my work because I think Humans Of Bombay shares important stories, even if they've monetized far past anything I'd feel comfortable doing on HONY. But you can't be suing people for what I've forgiven you for.
