Most of the stories that brought me here were written in darkness — literal and figurative — without power, protection, and barely enough to survive. This honor is for those who kept writing anyway.
Congrats! Takes courage to keep going when the future looks so bleak and the odds stacked against one feel insurmountable. Heroic journalism is a rare but much needed quality in these troubled times.
Congratulations on your award. Every time I try to write a comment on your page I end up weeping, and today is no different, but I am so glad that you have been recognized for the work you are doing, the courage it takes, and the absolute horror that you are writing about and living.
I am so thrilled to know this great award has come to you, dear Mohammed, and as you say, to all the brave Palestinian journalists in Gaza. It couldn't be more deserved - and once again your eloquent words here capture the full truth and poignancy of this occasion. As a former avid reader of I.F. Stone's Weekly, I couldn't be more proud.
“All governments lie” - I. F. Stone… In the sea of state propaganda, the violence of lies and the crushing power of ignorance - keep reporting the truth Mohammed!
A well-deserved win and this acceptance too is profoundly written!! Such a heartfelt tribute to all the brave journalists still resisting and those we’ve lost. Keep going!
May the world one day see the truth. There is no amount of thanks or praise that is adequate to bestow upon you. May more people open their eyes to the truth and have your strength to support it. You are honorable beyond words.

Congratulations on this really important award, Mohammed, in such bitter and desperate circumstances. #FreePalestine!
The world will never recover from the shame of allowing this to happen.
Many congratulations on this high honour, Mohammed.
May peace, freedom and justice prevail
I was honored to present this award to you Mohammed!
