“Newseum” comes under pressure from Israel supporters for honoring Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza

On May 13th, the Newseum in Washington, DC will be holding an event to honor “newspeople who died or were killed in the pursuit of news” in the past year. Among the 84 journalists who died are Mahmoud al-Kumi and Hussam Salama who were killed in Israel’s attack on the Gaza Strip this past winter. Their inclusion in the ceremony has sent parts of the Israel lobby into overdrive as both worked for Al-Aqsa television which is affiliated with Hamas. The neocon think tank Foundation for the Defense of Democracies is threatening pull an annual policy summit out of the venue in protest.

Jeffrey Goldberg est bien sûr de la partie. Et de quelle maniére ! ▻https://mobile.twitter.com/JeffreyGoldberg/status/332907529648623619
Dear @Newseum: The U.S. Treasury Department has designated al-Aqsa Television as a terrorist entity: treasury.gov/press-center/p…

Are you saying that mere presence on Treasury’s list makes one a legitimate target?

The Newseum’s “further investigation” must be public, credible, and thorough - and what we should do if it isn’t

To preserve its integrity, as both a museum and a journalistic institution, the Newseum must quickly level with the public. Who will conduct this investigation? How long will it take? What exact questions will it address? And can we reasonably expect that, if its outcome favors them, two murdered journalists will receive the public honors denied them today?
