Welcome to Israel. Reminder that Shireen was also an American citizen. Pretty sure nobody’s gonna bat an eye about this either.
For anyone trying to catch up on things, Shireen Abu Akleh was an experienced Palestinian American journalist killed by the Israeli Defense Force in May of last year. It didn’t make it into most mainstream news, but among people who pay attention to these things, it was shocking to see an American journalist murdered by state violence, but unlike Jamaal Khoshogi, the US state department refused to investigate or condemn Israel’s actions even after investigations showed it to be implausible that the soldier who killed her wasn’t aware of what they were doing.
Her funeral was attacked by Israeli police because they supposedly carried her coffin to the wrong place. Horrible story.
Also the hospital she was treated at before she died.
