American journalist killed by Israeli military

Excellent question.There in only an armistice line that is specifically not to be a political or territorial boundary.

So officially it is the same country on both sides.

Who were the parties to the agreement?

It's a hoot when your world-renowned studies in law can lead to such "official" determinations.

All this charade and Qatar grasps at 'likely'?

The family of Shireen Abu Akleh on Monday rejected the results of Israel’s official investigation into the slaying of the world-renowned Al Jazeera journalist.

Abu Akleh was fatally shot in the head in Jenin on 11 May, as she and other journalists were covering an Israeli army raid in the occupied West Bank city. Her colleague Ali al-Samoudi was shot in the back and injured.

“We could never expect any type of accountability or legitimate investigation from the very entity responsible for gunning down an unarmed and clearly identifiable journalist,” Lina Abu Akleh, the journalist’s niece said in a tweet sharing the family’s reaction.

The islamic terrorists would never take responsibility for the killing.

Axios reports:

Israel on Wednesday rejected the U.S. call for it to review the Israel Defense Forces' rules of engagement in the West Bank as part of accountability steps for the killing of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.

State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said on Tuesday that the Biden administration will continue to press Israel “to closely review its policies and practices on rules of engagement” of the IDF in the occupied West Bank.

He said this is needed in order “to mitigate the risk of civilian harm, protect journalists and prevent similar tragedies."

Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid expressed "sorrow" over Abu Akleh's death on Wednesday but said "no one will dictate our rules of engagement to us, when we are the ones fighting for our lives."

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that the "IDF’s chief of the general staff, and he alone, determines, and will continue to determine the rules of engagement in accordance with our operational needs and values of the IDF."

"These instructions are implemented in a strict manner by soldiers and their commanders. There has not been, and there will not be any political involvement in the matter," Gantz said.

Is the US in a position to lecture Israel about rules of engagement and protecting journalists in wartime?

Based on statistics from the US occupation of Iraq, not at all.

No less than 13 journalists were killed by US troops in Iraq from March 2003 to August 2005, according to a report by the Committee to Protect Journalists.

The details show a pattern of apparent recklessness and impunity that is worse than anything Israel has ever done, with investigations either finding no fault, or not released, or not done to begin with.

Why no investigation into the THIRTEEN journalists killed by US troops in Iraq in only two years?

Blogging about Israel and the Arab world since, oh, forever.

Sure, we can stop them from mooching money.

Close enough for you to declare Martyrdom and parade the body around.

Wouldn't it make sense to determine who was responsible for firing the bullet that killed the Martyr before prosecting?
