Max Blumenthal

“Basha Tower’s destruction was the final indignity for a Gazan media that lost sixteen members during the war, including several who literally died on camera. Curiously, the attacks on journalists and their offices generated little outrage in the West, even when those journalists worked for major Western media outlets. Israel’s bombing of the office owned by the independently contracted stringer for Bloomberg News, Saud Abu Ramadan, was not mentioned in Bloomberg’s coverage of the war. When Israel attacked the Mushtaha building, another office complex in central Gaza City that housed the offices of major foreign news agencies like Andalou and Xinhua, local photojournalist Wissam Nassar told Dan Cohen that the bombings destroyed his car. Nassar’s photography regularly appeared in the New York Times during the war, however, the attack that ruined his vehicle and destroyed a building filled with media offices was absent from the paper’s coverage.”
