The Real Media: Thank You to Every Activist on the Ground in Palestine

To every activist who has risked their safety, stood in the face of injustice, and refused to let the world look away—thank you.

You are the real media. While mainstream narratives twist, omit, or silence, you have been relentless in bringing the truth to light. Through your words, footage, and unwavering presence, you have made sure the world cannot ignore the suffering, resilience, and humanity of Palestinians.

Palestinians, we see you. Your pain, your strength, your resistance—it does not go unnoticed. Those of us who refuse to be blind stand with you.

To the journalists, content creators, volunteers, and everyday people documenting reality, you are doing what history will remember. You remind us that silence is complicity and that bearing witness is an act of defiance.

Thank you for your courage. Thank you for your truth. Thank you for refusing to let the world forget.
