dedicated to honoring journalism. u. s. president joe biden said the writes of journalists, do their job must be protected. the pri, fresh is not the enemy, the people, far from it. at your best, your guardians the truth, president biden is set to travel to israel next month. no details of his trip have been released. on friday he will sit down in the oval office with king abdullah of jordan to agenda items now about to become more complex. in light of the death of serene acclaim. kimberly hel, kid, al jazeera, the white house. earlier i spoke to congresswoman rashid a believe, she says the biden administration needs to use the funding. it gives israel as leverage to hold it. accountable. shaheen was not only a palestinian and very, very well respected journalist, but she was also an american. we also had americans in the past, including omar,

aside recently, who was also killed by israeli forces. are we truly going to sit back and allow united states taxpayer dollars and funds to be used to killing american citizens? this to me is very much a, a threshold that we need to understand in the body of michigan to understand they can't look away and continue to say and allow the same people are pressing the same people committing those are to do the investigation, is just wrong and unjust, if anything, let's try her where she is. she is a citizen, a citizen of our country even before she's a journalist. ready rates going to some of our country and she was literally targeted and murdered by is really force it. now folks want to say that they that in happen then prove it. shows the evidence because witnesses on the ground needs to be interviewed by our government by those it again can be least, somewhat impartial to making sure that the truth comes out. you know,

president biden was very clear in the correspondents dinner and he said that their guardian, that journalists are guardians of the truth. well, this is our chance to give justice to shipping. who fought to tell that truth? we need to tell her truth. we need to investigate ourselves, the killing of an american citizen, somebody that was out there being a guardian of truth and doing her job was again murdered by the per type government that we continue to fund with unconditional aid. all right, joining us lie via skype from washington. d. c is now had our he is executive director of the council on american islamic relations. that thanks so much for being with us today. your organization, the council on american islamic relations issued a statement condemning the killing of should he in oclock. the statement says in part enough is enough. these war crimes must come must end. and president biden is the only world leader with the influence to end them. what steps would you now like to see the biden administration take?

oh, i'm glad to see that the, the by then administration strongly condemned the, the, the murder offer sharing a barclay. but at the same time we need action. the action is very clear. the united states is the biggest 3rd supplier of arms. and so quarter of the set of israel we send is that a $3000000.00 every year in military aid, 23 percent of the global military aid that we give to other nations. so as it gets the lion's share of our military it, and that it has been most of the time, if not all the time, i couldn't unconditional. we want this by then administration to oh, walk the walk and thought the talk by holding israel accountable. so far, all the previous us administrations let is that i'll get away literally with murder without any punishment, without any restriction, without any withholding any of the funds that we give them with which they were

able to commit all these atrocities. so yes, we want action, and we want the united states government to i asked the f b i to investigate this assassination against an american citizen. and we would like our government to take charge of that investigation. be, you know, it cannot be trusted with any investigation because the world knows how sophisticated israeli spokespeople and leaders into a thing, the facts and all was blaming the victims. they should not get that. we would that this thing and add many other groups that i also called for an investigation. you just said you'd like to see the f, b i involved in an investigation of this killing. first, i want to ask you, how likely do you think that is to happen? and secondly, do you think that there will be enough pressure brought to bear that a credible and transparent investigation will actually take place?

we are a nation of laws and our citizens are the most valuable people. sherry and hartley is 1. 1 of these said the citizens of the united states who i was an eye witness as a journalist, documenting and reporting what she sees through the war. so the f, b, i o's should in our bartlett and ours, all of us a thorough investigation and they can do it. the question is, are they going to do it? we are going to push the, the f, b i through all our, our connections and, and, and our prisons do just to remind this administration. and if b i that should, in a barclay should not be treated less than any other american citizen. and had, of course, has one thing to actually have an investigation or a credible investigation go forward. it's quite another to actually hold anybody to account. do you think that if there is a credible and transparent investigation, we will actually see any accountability going forward if,

if i believe that we cannot do that, i would not have asked for it. i think yes we should. and yes, one day we are going to be able to hold as are accountable. ah, the, the, the narrative is shifting. the story of the palestinians is being told there is no monopoly over the media and sportsmanship. or, you know, the truth is out, the suffering of the palestinian people is, is, is known. now, we'll just need to act as the support is mounting in the united states. among so many communities, including the media, among politicians on one, not only would we within academia, the to be the s movement is, is becoming popular in the united states and around the world. because they believe in justice for the palestinians. and we have to hold our government accountable to hold israel to account. and i believe that's going to happen. are right now had our

executive director of the council on american islamic relations. thanks so much for joining us. thank you. should he is killing, has prompted strong reactions at the united nations. kristen salumi reports from the headquarters in new york said, you said i. e condemnations and calls for an investigation or to the death of al jazeera, serene abdulla clay, came quickly at the united nations from top you and officials, as well as member nations, and the lead of arab states that we look at this as a one further step of the escalation of situation that is happening by this right jojo authorities and that started during the month of ramadan. so this is not only an attack on a person. oh it, what were the, what a senior or not. but that is not that on the freedom of the press and the freedom of opinion, the us ambassador to the united nation is called her death, horrifying. and she was very well respected. i actually had the opportunity to meet with her when i was in ah, the westbank out west november and ah,

she did an extraordinary interview and i laugh there filling extraordinary respect for her. so i know that she will be sadly miss by all of us, and we have to ensure that we get to the bottom of her with her killing linda thomas greenfield, called on israel and the palestinian authority to conduct a joint investigation. an idea echoed by israel's ambassador, but refused by palestinians will reject the claims of israel that they can do a credible investigation. there are the criminals and the criminals cannot investigate themselves on the mission or the palestinian ambassador called for an independent international investigation and pointing out in a letter to the security council that 40 palestinian journalists have been killed since the year 2000 with no accountability. the arab league also called for action on the part of the security council and

a resumption of the peace process warning that of world powers don't focus on the region. confrontations and misery will continue. kristin salumi al jazeera, the united nations bets ellen, the jerusalem based human rights organisation disputes. israeli claims about the death of city and broccoli. israeli forces issued a video which they say is of an armed palestinian firing, but bet sell him has issued footage analyzing this location, saying it doesn't match up with the place where should he and was killed? how guy a lot is the executive director of but sell him. he explains why israel's claims don't match up. i think it's worth pointing out. the line was propagated by no less than days. ready? prime minister, foreign minister, defense minister, other ministers, and the idea spokesperson in the immediate hours after the killing, also show you what the silver is. researcher found engineering

this morning. it might, according to him. saudi was that in fact, it is inconceivable. it's absolutely impossible. does the footage on which the short one which deals any propaganda was basing its false claims could in no shape or form depicted gunfire. at the journalists, there is no line of sight between one location and the other. and in fact, our researcher into taking him a few minutes to off from one location to the other location, you know, spend on listed ation is one of the israel's most the tried. and unfortunately successful tricks and the last impunity that provides itself. israel does not investigate israel whitewash years, and the investigation is just the 1st or rather the announcement on the investigation is just the 1st stage in the whitewashed investigations are not meant

there. you've got to be. they are meant to protect department traders. al jazeera employees, morn, shootings, death they gathered at the network headquarters and door hand to commemorate their colleague who had been working for alger 0 for 2 decades. should be uncovered. a multitude of events, such as the several wars and the gaza strip. the 2060 israel lebanon war and israeli attacks in the occupied west bank. the international center of justice for palestinians has demanded an investigation into the systematic targeting of journalists by israel. the independent organisation which works to protect the rights of palestinians through the law, said, should in dedicated her life to one of the most important principles in a democracy. freedom of speech journalists like should e in, are crucial in holding governments that violate international law to account. israel's belligerent and excessive use of force has led to irreversible damage and

the killing of innocent journalists. this can no longer be allowed to continue. these really palestinian conflict remains one of the most dangerous for journalists, the new york based committee to protect journalists estimates 18 have been killed since 992. but the palestinian journalist syndicate estimates the figure is 3 times higher, blaming israeli fire for most casualties. and it says it documents hundreds of attacks a year by israeli forces on journalists covering the occupation. same as robbie has more in israel's occupation of palestine, its tactics have become increasingly aggressive over the decades. so to it's crackdown on media workers covering the soup on the killing of ultra 0 journalist and palestinian americans should marine of luckily, unless the latest example of the in may 2021 in israeli air raid brought down a building in the gaza strip. that house local people and international media

without due process and restrict their movements. attacks by israeli forces have also left dozens injured, a palestinian center of human rights report in 2020 found journalists face, quote, cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment at the hands of israeli forces. in the wake of abruptly as death, israel's army says it does not target journalists and his foreign minister suggested conducting a joint investigation and autopsy and offer palestinian leaders refused. israeli forces have directly targeted journalists with a full force in the past. in 2008 israeli soldiers killed reuters camera man. fidel shot he filmed the tank as it fired the show that killed him. his final image is captured on tape. before his camera was destroy. shanar 2 was wearing body armor marked press at the time of his death. sharina of luckily was killed covering in

situation. so that you office state, the reality is on the ground and it's very important that we remind ourselves in journalist remind their view.
