Several French-language media outlets contacted Rami Abu Jamous's office on October 7, 2023 to hear from GazaAt that time, he told them about the suffering of the Palestinians, about the massacres, humiliation, and famine, and he told them that Gaza is hell on earth, but he could not say much of what he wanted on some channels, because his time was exhausted by answering the question, “Do you condemn agitation?” which he repeats.
The journalist, who has been writing his memoirs on the Orian 21 website since February 2024, said that one of the participants in the discussion, an activist in a Jewish organization, was able to speak at length and accused the Palestinians of “permanently seeking to place October 7, 2023 in a context that has nothing to do with it.” “It” – according to her opinion – as he had nothing to do with the past 75 years, and she expressed her sadness because “the voices coming from Gaza” do not want to condemn October 7 attack“For fear of retaliation” from the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
Rami Abu Jamous is the founder of the Gaza Press office, which provides assistance and translation to Western journalists. In October 2023, Rami was forced to leave his apartment in Gaza City with his wife due to the Israeli aggression on the Strip.
Do you blame your brother or your neighbor?
The journalist nominated with 10 others for the Bayou Award for War Correspondents said – in his diary on the Orian 21 website – that he does not defend the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), and pointed out that the question: Do we condemn Hamas, has been answered for decades. Moshe DayanWhen he was Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army, before Hamas existed, he talked about armed Palestinian resistance fighters.
For Dayan, it was natural for people whose lands were seized to seek to defend themselves. Thus, if your brother stabbed your neighbor who took everything from you, your house and your garden, and then locked you in a small plot of land, and killed your mother and siblings, do you blame your brother or do you blame the aggressor neighbor? ?
In the response that Abu Jamous wanted to say to the participant but he did not have enough time to say it, he expressed his surprise that no one asked her during the program to condemn the killing of approximately 42 thousand Palestinians in the Israeli army massacres, pointing to the racial discrimination practiced by Israel, such that any Israeli accused is tried. In a civilian court, but when it is from occupied territory, it goes through a military court.
One of the responses that Abu Jamous could not say was that thousands of Palestinians are imprisoned without trial, and that Israel is the occupier and has stolen the land, and whoever says that is considered a “terrorist.”
Double speech
Abu Jamous was alerted to the presence of the former France 2 correspondent in Jerusalem, Charles Enderlin, and it was his cameraman who filmed on the air the assassination carried out by the Israeli army of the child. Muhammad Al-DurraHe was forced to defend himself in court against pro-Israel activists who accused him of faking the child's death.
Enderlin said Sheikh Ahmed YassinHe, the founder of the Hamas movement, predicted the end of Israel in the year 2027, and everything that is happening today is because people want to fulfill this prophecy, and he spoke about the fanaticism of Hamas leaders, and I – as Abu Jamous says – would like to tell him that Netanyahu is giving the same speech, and he has a double speech. In English, it is directed at the West, and another in Hebrew uses the language of the Bible, and calls the Palestinians “Amalek” who, according to the Bible, must be exterminated.
Abu Jamous pointed out that Charles Enderlin has Palestinian friends who he certainly does not consider “terrorists,” adding, “Is a person who promotes armed struggle necessarily a terrorist? I wish I had time to have this dialogue with him during the show.”
Enderlin talks about the censorship imposed by the Hamas movement, “I was pleased – as Abu Jamous says – to tell him that the injuries and deaths are very real, and that censorship exists in all wars from all sides, including Israel, where military censorship can control Producing journalists at any time, they impose comprehensive control on his actions in Gaza.
