Reporter’s Notebook: Covering an antiwar protest in Israel

Al Jazeera  

Alasdair Brenard, a senior cameraperson for Al Jazeera, recounts what it was like to film the first-ever protest in Israel since the war began. It’s a crisp sunny Saturday morning as our crew prepares the car for the drive from Jerusalem to Haifa to cover an antiwar rally. This is the first antiwar protest to take place in Israel since it began its war on Gaza following the Hamas attacks of October 7. The authorities were likely keen to let the protest go ahead on a Saturday when there’s no public transport, which would make it more difficult for people to reach the square. “My message to the world is don’t choose a side, Israeli or Palestine, but please choose humanity.” Meanwhile, police are becoming increasingly twitchy.
