During a panel discussion hosted by border abolition project Give Over, journalist and researcher Maryam Jameela shed light on the role of Western media in perpetuating white supremacy and Islamophobia through their "pointed silence" on Israel's brutal targeting and murder of Palestinians in Gaza. The complicity of Western journalists in this violence was exposed, highlighting how their solidarity is conditional and their focus on Western lives and bodies perpetuates structures of power. Jameela raised important questions about the purpose of journalism if marginalized lives are continually neglected by the media.
