Australian journalist Tony Clifton and the late French war photojournalist Catherine Leroy covered the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon. They had at their disposal pictures and footage of Israeli brutalities in Lebanon, which Western media outlets would not want to print. Later, Clifton and Leroy produced the 1983 book God Cried to tell the world what atrocities were going on in Lebanon in 1982. I invite journalists who cover the Israel-Palestine conflict—but are beholden to the preferences of the media owners or to the pressures of the advertisers—to follow the example of Clifton and Leroy.
