Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett: "Abu Mazen accuses us of killing the journalist without evidence, and we support our soldiers."
Yeah bro, I'm sure her head just did that naturally 🤡Finally someone else has the courage to say it. I hate when people call JFK's death an "assassination". An unfortunate accident doesn't mean we should rush to assign blame. Shit happens.
That's why Jackie was trying to collect his brains to stuff back in his skull. It had happened before.
He was 46 at the time, with his lifestyle and whatever damage World War 2 did. That's about the age where things start going wrong with your health.
The press had obediently covered up his other health problems, like Addison's disease. How many head explosions did they ignore???
Oh Jesus that's right, Addison's disease. There you go. Of course the "magic bullet theory" had to jump through so many hoops just to "prove" he was somehow shot. It's like FDR's wheelchair.
This is so fucking disgusting.
Fascist scum
BUT HEY HOW ABOUT THAT SLAVA UKRAINI AMIRITE
Not like there's anything else going on in the world right now uuhhhh I'm gonna lose my shit here
There is no meaningful difference between Zionists and Nazis. This is them doing Lebensraum. They don't want the world to see what they're doing, so they assassinate the people who tell the world.
Zionism was endorsed by the British empire as an antisemitic policy. England wanted to get rid of its Jews (not for the first time), and settling them in Palestine as a colony was a convenient way to use an unwanted white population against an even more despised nonwhite population. After WW2 many more ended up fleeing there because of the holocaust, and the ethnic cleansing really started to ramp up in 1948. Everyone should read "Biggest Prison on Earth" by Ilan Pappe.
I know it is so hard to see through the propoganda but surely right, if one side in a conflict is raiding a refugee camp with soldiers and shooting at people then it shouldn't be too hard to work out that they are not good people.
What an awful fucking thing to read first thing in the morning
"I don't think we killed her," Ran Kochav, a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, told Kan public broadcaster. "We proposed to the Palestinians to open a swift joint probe. If we indeed killed her, we'll take responsibility, but it doesn't seem to be the case."
THEY WERE THE ONES RAIDING THE CAMP, OF COURSE THEY SHOT HER
This isn't the first time Palestinian journalists (in clear press vests) were targeted by IDF soldiers. What a horrible tragedy that will most likely go unanswered. I can't handle watching the video, but I don't need it to fuel my rage against fascist regimes
It's the Israeli version of an "officer-involved shooting." NYT:
The Israeli military said on Twitter that it was investigating the possibility that journalists had been injured, “possibly by Palestinian armed gunfire.”
downloaded the video before they removed it. it's fucked up but I always archive the global south perspectives that twitter censors
Is there somewhere you can upload it? I want to see it to fuel my anger.
It's still there, just click on the linked tweet in the OPs tweet.
But I'd strongly advise against that, I'm usually not that easily disturbed, but I closed that one after like 3 seconds.Heavy CW for death and gore, but this link worked for me. https://nitter.net/almeqdad/status/1524238466493685760
What the fuck.

Israeli police raid Abu Akleh’s home in Jerusalem
Israeli forces have raided Abu Akleh’s home in occupied East Jerusalem, and have confiscated Palestinian flags and prevented the playing of nationalistic songs.
Videos seen by Al Jazeera show friends and family members shouting at Israeli police to leave the house.
A journalist at the scene said the mourners managed to push the forces outside of the house, but remain stationed in the area.
This is a normal thing to do when someone definitely isn't assassinated.
Wonder if this is gonna get the same level of press as what happened to jamal khashoggi. US media SHOULD give this more attention because she's a US citizen, but I feel like we're gonna be hearing a lot of deflection :funny-clown-hammer:
They cannot believe the news? Why? This iz perfectly in line with everything that's happened sp far
Israel has every right to protect itself as the only democracy in the Middle East and is a symbol of freedom there. :frothingfash:
Interesting that The JTA Article calls her a "Palestinian Journalist," and mentions her American citizenship in the article while WaPo has "American Journalist."
Say it like the papers would say it about an enemy state:
The Israeli Regime is Killing Journalists
