Shireen Abu Akleh, Al Jazeera journalist, killed by Israeli forces

Story is breaking just now, shot in the head despite wearing a press vest. Rest in power.
Rest in peace.
I'd like to point out western media hypocrisy.
https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Internat...-journalist-killed-gunfire-west-bank-84636750 the headline, at best, should be "Israeli army kills Al Jazeera Journalist during raid".
But instead it is "al Jazeera Journalist killed". As if people are just magically killed during raids with no responsibility.
May her death not be another statistic in the senseless violence...

I noticed this. Immense, gigantic, flashing-neon-sign "Person shot to death by bullet fired from gun under the ownership of officer" energy. Disgusting.
Rest in power.
I don't know, seems like she was killed by "gunfire" here.
Side note, remember when Israel blew up the associated press office?
It's because the Israeli military are, of course, investigating the possibility that Shireen was hit by Palestinian Gunmen. Just enough to obligate foreign reporting to be 'neutral' until things are supposedly verified, even while Israel lets it quietly slip into the background while never providing proof.
I'm sure they've conveniently forgotten

Genuine news reporting can be such a thankless and terrible job when you're trying to reach and enlighten the world of its going's on....
Those getting the real/detrimental stories have often had their brush with death if not occasionally taken by it.... This is tragic, and it seems like a talented and courageous reporter has been lost.
Rest in peace.

Lmao. For Western outlets, too afraid of their Israeli critics, you must tiptoe around the truth....
All they have to do was clearly state what happened and they can't bring themselves to do it, deferring to "someone said".

RIP to a brave journalist.
IDF has been murdering (clearly marked) journalists and medics with impunity. Don't know who they think they're fooling with the "Palestinian gunmen" claim.
According to the article, it was Ali Samoudi, another AJ journalist. Fortunately he's reported to be in stable condition.

AP was using this passive voice bullshit too despite IDF literally blew up their Gaza HQ with journalists still inside them last year.
Craven cowards.
Fucking war criminals. Fuck Israel, fuck the US, and fuck most of the west for supporting those fucking monsters
If a NY Times journalist gets shot up in a warzone, they ain't getting any sympathy from me, fuck em its karma at that point.
This person could have been anyone of them, yet they go out of their way to do massage the truth for the benefit of the war criminals that did this.
I know not everyone there has the power to make editorial decisions but fuck em, anyone who still works for a repulsive joint like this is scum.

who the fuck are the pleasing with this kinda tip toeing. what the actual fuck?
These ones are even worse:
The Guardian
Al Jazeera accuses Israeli forces of killing journalist in West Bank
Associated Press (before edit)
Al-Jazeera blames Israel for death of reporter in West Bank
Original story:
This means nothing for the IDF, they've targeted journalists before.
Yeah I'm sick of the way they dance around words.
Keep waiting for that savior on a donkey to waltz into town, Israel. If I were them, I would be turning around and walking the opposite direction.
RIP.
From the Guardian, witness testimony from a reporter who was also hit:
It's opening sentence however:
---- Al-Jazeera:
Literallly execution of a journlist by sniper fire and they'll still cover for Israel, what else is new.
And I don't know why the IDF have this international reputation in the media for being elite soldiers, most of their victims seem to be journalists, medics and children throwing stones. Even in the last conflict, most of the victims were women and children. Fucking cowards.

Fucking bastards. These pieces of garbage.
This woman have dedicated her life to reporting about this disgusting injustice against humanity and they fucking shot her. Shame on so called journalists trying to burry this fact. Bunch of spineless cowards. She is more of a journalist than these bitches put together.
I grew up seeing her in TV covering the conflict. I feel awful to say the least.
Innalilah wa inna ilayhi rajioon.

There's footage of them trying to pick her up while being fired on. No gunshots from the side near the reporters.
This is a continuation from the video in the above post.
WARNING there is body that I presume is dead at the time considering she was a shot in the head.
There is blurring but you can see blood.

This is an outrageous crime, the murder of a journalist clearly marked as 'Press' on a tour with other journalists. She was brave, professional, and honest. Multiple independent journalists who were eye witnesses to the attack are leaving no doubt about the circumstances of the attack: she was killed by long range fire wearing a helmet and a 'Press' vest, there was no ongoing firefight before the two journalists were shot, and other journalists could not immediately reach her fallen body due to continuing sniper cover fire.
I hope for peace for her and her family and Justice for Palestine.

How many journalists has IDF murdered now?

I know it may be an unpopular opinion but Al-Jazeera without proof claims IDF shot journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Attached, a Palestinian militant firing recklessly without looking: "We hit a soldier!". Shreen wore a vest and helmet. No reported IDF casualties. Israel offered a joint investigation, Palestinians refused.
Here is the video

There were no Palestinian militants in the area. No other gunfire in the area. A single bullet, right at her ear, below where her helmet could possibly save her life.
Other eyewitness accounts collaborate this. The IDF has a history of murdering journalists.
edit: i can see the twitter source you're using an israeli account that is masquerading as arabic "abou ali" (which is as stereotypically racist and mocking as one could be about arabs in general)

That's literally what the IDF posted. A video showing a guy blind-firing around a corner with return gun-fire heard.
Doesn't match up to the witness statements and the video shown of civilians being sniped while trying to pick her body up.
Why would they ever accept a joint investigatin with fucking Israel.
- I'm sure the exact locations can be verified, it's clear where the direction of fire is coming from in the video of the journalist.

Please not do a genocidal's regime's PR.
Eye witnesses are corroborating, Isreal has a track record of targeting journalists, they have blown up entire journalistic HQ's with that discredited "militants" lie.
This video is bullshit.
Edit: As pointed above.
Israel killed journalists before and will kill again. Last thing we need is people buying into their misleading videos and propaganda.
