“Any reportage from Palestine is still challenging. Ahmed Shihab-Eldin is an American Kuwaiti, and an Emmy award–winning journalist of Palestinian descent. He told me about working on a story for Vice in 2015 that featured Swedish-born settlers destroying a Palestinian family’s home in the Silwan neighborhood of East Jerusalem. His crew had filmed the settlers throw a young Palestinian girl’s toys out of the house, removing pipes, and destroying furniture. Vice cut the scene.
“Dude, the settlements are crazy controversial,” a Vice editor told Shihab-Eldin. “Some see them as illegal. Israel doesn’t. So we can’t show this confrontation because it will make it show too much of one side’s argument and further complicate an already complicated story.”
