OPEN LETTER TO LADY GAGA FROM A GAY IRAQI FAN « The Videocrat Gaga don't preach... It would have been John Lennon’s 70th birthday yesterday. It was also the day I got an email forward that I think is worth sharing with you on The Videocrat. It’s a brilliant open letter to Lady Gaga from a disappointed gay Iraqi fan named Sa’ad. For those of you who don’t know, Lady Gaga has been on this fervent gay military rights bender in the media for the past few weeks. As a fan myself, the letter really confirmed what I’ve been thinking about it myself. Dear Gaga, Let me begin by saying that I am an admirer of your work. Over the past month or so I have watched you make every public appearance revolve around the issue of allowing gay men and women to serve openly in the US military. At the VMAs your statement was clear: Ex-soldiers who had been discharged for being homosexual escorted you to the event. Shortly after that, you posted a black and white video message addressed to US senators and citizens, urging them to repeal the ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ policy.
3/20/23: Israeli authorities shutter Voice of Palestine radio’s Israel operations, question 5 journalists New York, March 20, 2023 – Israeli authorities should immediately reverse their order to shut down the Israeli operations of the Voice of Palestine radio station and should cease harassing members of the press, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Monday. On Monday, March 20, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir ordered Voice of Palestine, the official broadcaster of the Palestinian Authority government, to be barred from operating within Israel, according to multiple news reports. After the order was issued, Israeli police officers arrived at the company’s offices in East Jerusalem and informed the staff about the ban, those reports said. Later Monday, Israeli police summoned five Palestinian journalists based in East Jerusalem for questioning, according to news reports and journalists who spoke to CPJ. Israel occupied East Jerusalem, along with the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, in the 1967 Middle East war.

OlympiaFilmSociety.org Olympia Film Society 12/8/23: Israel’s wartime assault on the free press explained The Gaza war has proved one of the deadliest conflicts for journalists in recent memory. At least 63 journalists and media workers have been killed over the course of the war as of December 8, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. That’s as many as were killed during the entire two-decade Vietnam War by some counts. Most of those killed were Palestinians in Gaza, and dozens more Palestinian journalists have been reported injured, missing, or arrested. Additionally, family members of journalists — including those of Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief and a CNN producer — have been killed in the bombardment, and the premises of more than 50 media outlets in Gaza have been hit. Since the October 7 attack by Hamas, a Palestinian militant group designated as a terrorist organization by many countries, Israel has said that it cannot guarantee journalists’ safety in Gaza and has denied them access to the region, even during the recent temporary ceasefire. Yes, I'll give $5/month
