I’m sure after this cold blooded assassination, Nato will be arming the Palestinians with heavy artillery to which they will be able to defend themselves in the same way they are helping the Ukrainians.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that sigh

In video of the incident the Palestinian reporter, a regular on Al Jazeera's Arabic language channel, can be seen wearing a blue flak jacket clearly marked with the word “PRESS.”

This assassination was no accident.
As the most prominent press reporter, mrs Akleh was the spokesperson for the Palestinians.
It’s another attempt by the Israeli war machine to silence the Palestinian voice & mask the atrocities committed.

She ain't the first one, the old saying certainly applies here "Only those with something to hide want to suppress the truth" .. The thumbs downers on this thread already is not surprising either..

Heartbreaking. Vicious. And hardly imaginable.

"Israeli occupation forces kept shooting at journalists in Jenin even after Shireen Abu Akleh fell seriously injured. Her colleague, Shatha Hanansha, is seen hiding behind a tree next to her, unable to move, escape, or even help Shireen due to heavy gunfire. Both are wearing vests marked “Press”."

There is something odd about the East wall of the old city Jerusalem in the background. There should be a mortared up area in it that was once where the East Gate/Golden gatewas until Muslims closed it up roughly. muslims.

I've saw pictures of Hebron gate before Zionism, everyone seemed to be living happily together..

Anyway, this happens too often with the world turning a blind eye..sad flower

Israeli soldiers fire tear gas and bullets at Palestinian schools

"According to Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian official who monitors Israeli settlement activities in the Nablus district, the soldiers shot live bullets, tear gas and concussion bombs inside the schools. Dozens of students and staff suffered the after-effects of inhaling the gas.

Daghlas added that this was the second day in a row that the schools have been attacked by Israeli soldiers. Yesterday they also fired tear gas at the schools, causing panic among students and staff.

The official pointed out that Palestinian schools are targeted frequently by the Israeli army. Gunfire towards the schools is common, as is the obstruction of students' access and intimidating deployment of heavy troop concentrations in the surrounding area."

There's a bit of a difference. What's happening in Ukraine is a big step down from what was happening before and Ukraine has got over abuses that came from the west and the east. But I just don't see the middle east ever getting over anything. Its a merchant/bandit zero sum kind of place with a lot of bad blood and yet we still do more for Palestine than the Saudis. And with Israel there's the historic sense that we are responsible for them being there. Israel is a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Name_Taken_Two: Exactly the point I was making.. Just watch how the thumbs multiply on this thread, there is no justification for the slaughter that goes on in Palestine, while the do good'ers refer to the Holocaust...
I believe Izrael has created for itself the image of a stigmatised nation and it's used pretty well too...
Most people are turning towards them with sympathy because the idea of the God chosen but most hated is been exploited in any possible way.
Personally from what I have seen and read history wise I believe Jewish are pure Arabs, there are more points that connect them then separate them.

Shireen was a US citizen..
IDF (Israeli Defence Force) are apparently some of the best trained in the world..

US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib lambastes “Apartheid Israel that continues to murder, torture and commit war crimes.”

"In a tweet following the death of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, the Palestinian-American says the reporter was “murdered by a government that receives unconditional funding by our country with zero accountability.”
