Recently Israel detained five journalists who were doing critical reporting on their government and debunking the official lies used to justify Israel’s genocide in Gaza and invasion of Lebanon. Tel Aviv-based journalist and human rights activist Andrey X posted to Twitter that:
Today I was beaten, kidnapped, blindfolded and taken to a military base by the Israeli Occupation Forces, together with 4 other journalists.
Two of us were held for 11 hours without charges, my phone was confiscated (stolen), and one of us is still in custody.
The journalist who is still in custody is American reporter Jeremy Loffredo who works for the independent anti-war news site “The Grayzone”. The outlet’s editor and chief Max Blumenthal confirmed that Loffredo “was among the journalists arrested by the Israeli military and is still in jail” and “His phone has been confiscated.” Grayzone reporter Wyatt Reed also confirmed that Loffredo has been in Israeli custody for “over 24 hours” and that he “remains in Israeli custody” with “his phone seized.”
For context, the reason Loffredo was “beaten, kidnapped, blindfolded” and had his phone seized by Israeli authorities is likely because he was in the midst of an on-the-ground investigation that was doing major damage to the Israeli narrative.
In a video report, Loffredo reported that “ Since the (Iranian) missile strikes, Israel has been able to downplay the significance of the attack, censor the locations of missile impacts from media publications and claim that Iran was targeting Israeli civilians, what I saw today here in Israel is clear evidence that Iran was targeting the same intelligence and military infrastructure that, over the past year has been used to carry out brutal assassinations and attacks.”
Vote Trump and this all goes away, like literally all Palestinians disappear and your concerns end.
