Palestinians support anti-normalization activists in Egypt
The Palestinian Media Federation (PMF) has hailed the stand of Egyptian Journalist Syndicate (PJS) that publicly rejected normalization with the Zionist entity, and welcomed the syndicate’s plan to issue a dictionary with terms confirming the Arab identity of Palestine.
In a statement it issued on Thursday, the PMF appreciated the move of Egyptian film director Ahmad Atef for withdrawing from the panel of judges after an Israeli film was exhibited during the sixth film festival at the French cultural center in the Egyptian capital Cairo.
The PMF also hailed the Palestinian journalist organizations and media institutions who announced their intention to form an anti-normalization committee in the field of media, expressing readiness to start Arab, Muslim, and international contacts to activate the committee.
Furthermore, the PMF called on Arab and Muslim journalists to support the Palestinian journalists, including Palestinian-Jerusalemite journalists, who, according to the PMF, face repressive measures and human rights violation at the hands of the Israeli occupation authorities.
