""I reported on forced displacement and punitive bureaucracy... I wrote about child killings, war crimes and terrorism (perpetrated by both sides).""
""By year three, I had started giving up trying to make them listen and the self-loathing arrived.""
Experiencing the conflict in Israel and Palestine led to deep disillusionment and self-doubt while reporting on various abuses. Over the years, reporting on atrocities was met with accusations of bias, leading to a realization that people did not want to hear about these issues. This generated a cycle of cynicism among reporters, dulling outrage toward ongoing conflicts such as apartheid and ethnic cleansing. Despite efforts to balance voices, the inability to prompt public outrage has been disheartening.
