American journalist killed by Israeli military

I don't know, son.

That's a shame, mom.

They stole the body.......

“Instead, the mob threatened the driver of the hearse and then proceeded to carry the coffin on an unplanned procession to the cemetery by foot,” it continued. “This went against the wishes of the Abu Akleh family and the security coordinations that had been planned to safeguard the large number of mourners.”

Yeah, saw that.

And then they rioted. What a bunch of terrorist wannabes.

Originally saw this on NBC. The anchor stated that their organization's efforts to verify a video released by the Israeli government that attempted to paint Palestinian militants as the culprits revealed that the Israeli government's video did not depict the same location as the incident, did not match Al Jazeera footage that caught her death live, and did not even show the shooting. In other words, it's fake.

So first Saudi Arabia kills an American journalist, now Israel kills an American journalist. Perhaps this is a deeply troubled region of the world and the United States should be loathe to maintain close relationships with these countries.


"We were going to film the Israeli army operation and suddenly they shot us without asking us to leave or stop filming," Al Jazeera cited Mr Samoudi as saying. "The first bullet hit me and the second bullet hit Shireen.
"There was no Palestinian military resistance at all at the scene," he added.

Al Jazeera reporter killed during Israeli raid in West Bank

It is under investigation.

Israel has nothing to hide. (go ahead and laugh)

On the other hand, the PA, Hamas and others keep inciting their masses to attack and kill Jews.

She died because from 1920 to now, Islam and Christianity refuse to allow Jews to be sovereign of their own homeland ON their ancient homeland.

She would be still alive, living her life, and so would all the sad Arabs who have "martyred " themselves with the Islamic invention that they are are going to receive 72 virgins.


Idiocy in Islam continues to be spread from one generation to the next.

Al Jazeera is presented as another supporting data point to the highlighted phrase, making it sound like there are two reliable sources that support the theory that Israel shot her. But Time never mentions two things: that Al Jazeera is not an independent news source but a mouthpiece for the Qatari dictatorship, and that Abu Akleh worked for Al Jazeera.

Both of Time's sources for the charge are presented as objective, with no caveats about what they are saying being at least as motivated by emotion and hate rather than objective fact checking. Assuming that this was written on Wednesday morning ahead of a print deadline (the edition goes on newsstands on Fridays) Time had little hard information to go on, but it decided that Al Jazeera and the Palestinian government were reliable sources for a story that had little time for fact gathering.

Then, again without mentioning that it was Abu Akleh's employer, it adds that Al Jazeera called it a "blatant murder." Time certainly knew at this point that there was zero evidence (and plenty of circumstantial counter-evidence) that Israel would target Abu Akleh. Yet in the short story so far, it seemingly brought two data sources, one of them mentioned twice making it clear that Time considers Al Jazeera a reliable source.

Finally, after the reader has assimilated that Akleh was shot by the IDF and that it was presented as murder, comes the weak denial by the alleged murderers - a formula that readers know well, throwing in the sentence "The accused denied the charges" after lots of evidence is shown to the contrary. It makes Time look objective, but the clear aim is to denigrate the Israeli "suggestion,"

At that point in time, early Wednesday morning on the East Coast, Israel had already proposed a joint pathological investigation with the Palestinians - and the Palestinian side refused. This is a critical fact that Time chooses to not report. It contradicts its narrative of Israeli guilt - why would the guilty party want to work together with its enemy in a transparent, open investigation? The party that made an accusation without evidence does not want to have its accusation "confirmed." Why not? A guilty party claiming innocence does not typically want a transparent investigation, and the aggrieved party would insist on one. The narrative turns on its head when this is reported.

So it isn't.


Beyond that, Israel didn't accuse the Palestinian Authority of shooting Akleh - they suggested that Jenin terrorists associated with Islamic Jihad, firing wildly, might have been responsible. Time (and essentially all media) omit who the Palestinian shooters are, not showing photos of videos of groups of masked men with M16s shooting in the urban alleyways of the Jenin camp, clearly not worried about the safety of Palestinian families who live there.

Before any facts were known, the Palestinian Authority prefers to defend a terror group as innocent.

Lots of anti-Israel bias in a short @Time magazine piece about Abu Akleh

Let transparency hold sway; surrender the bullet and see where the fire came from.

It should be noted that an Arab voice shouted, "we hit a soldier, he is lying on the ground." Another shout was heard: "It's a woman." It should further be noted that there were no Israeli soldiers on the ground

According to statista, there were, world-wide, 53 journalists killed in 2019; 87 in 2018; 74 in 2017; 81 in 2016. It's an hazardous occupation.

I stopped reading as soon as the reporter for the piece used the term "occupation forces". There isn't even any pretense as being non-biased. I'll wait for the other side of the story.

What news story is unbiased?

And why?

Because people want to shut them up.

So when Israel kills a journalist, what does Israel have to hide?
