We are in Israel’s endgame for Gaza — we must stop it now

We are bequeathing our children a world of horror and death, livestreamed, with no consequences for the perpetrators

One minute I was on the steps of 10 Downing Street, the next, I was bleeding out on a chair in Channel 4 studios. In between those two events, I was attacked by a man who threatened to kill me if I didn’t shut up about the Darfur genocide. Hours later, I miscarried my baby doing a live interview — about the genocide.

I told this story to a colleague for the first time recently. He expressed empathy for my loss and outrage that I endured such violence doing my job (at the time, I was an anti-genocide campaigner and Sudan reporter for the UK Independent). Around 232 journalists have been killed in Gaza, so I asked him why he hasn’t expressed empathy or outrage for them? Not one column inch, not one tweet? His reply: “It’s depressing”.
