On this day in 2022, Israel cold bloodedly murdered Shireen Abu Akleh (Pictured as a young girl), an Al Jazeera journalist, and Palestinian American Christian.
The Western media and the US were silent because her murderer was an IDF soldier. Then Israeli police disrupted her funeral and attacked her coffin bearers.

TODAY: marks the 2nd anniversary of the murder of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
This is what Israeli Forces did at her funeral.
She was shot by Israeli snipers while reporting in the occupied West Bank on May 11, 2022.
This Christian, American journalist, was killed in cold blood.
An American citizen, one of the highest profile journalists in the Arab world, was killed on camera, and the murderer got away with it.
Israel denied killing her and then attacked her funeral procession.
The US Govt did nothing about it.
This sent a very clear message to Israel about what it could get away with.
Immediately after Abu Akleh’s shooting, the administration of Biden called for accountability, saying that “those responsible for Shireen’s killing should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law”.
Initially, then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett falsely accused Palestinian fighters of shooting Shireen – an allegation that was quickly proven to be a lie by independent reports.
Washington shifted its position after Israel admitted that its soldiers killed Abu Akleh and dismissed the incident as an accident, refusing to open a criminal investigation.
By September 2022, the US dropped its demand that the perpetrators be prosecuted.
Washington has also rejected calls for an independent probe into the incident, arguing that Israel has functioning institutions capable of investigating the case.
But Israel rarely prosecutes its own soldiers for abuses and should not be trusted to investigate itself.
This sent a very dangerous message and contributed to an open season on Palestinian journalists in Gaza.
Even when Al Jazeera referred the Abu Akleh case to the International Criminal Court for investigation, the US publicly opposed the court’s involvement, reiterating its stance that Israel should take up the matter itself.
The Biden administration also failed to condemn this Israeli assault on Abu Akleh’s funeral in Jerusalem, with armed officers beat her pallbearers with batons.
Since then, the Biden has failed to hold Israel accountable and let them operate with complete impunity.
Now, Israel has shut down Al Jazeera’s coverage to stop the world from seeing their war crimes.
In 214 days, Israel has killed 142 journalists in Gaza, approximately one every 36 hours.
This is the deadliest conflict for journalists in modern history.
