mal shell reports. oh, don't shoot the messenger unless you're in his really soldier. in that case, you're seemingly ok with shooting a reporter who's clearly identifiable as a journalist and poses no threat. should he in a barclay, is the latest reporter to be killed by the israeli military, which has a long history of targeting journalists and news outlets. particularly al jazeera committee should in a veteran reporter who spent her life covering events and occupied palestine was among a group of journalists, documents and what was happening in janine early on wednesday. according to eye witnesses and video footage, she was wearing a safety vest and helmet, both of which clearly identified her as a member of the press home. despite this or maybe because of it should be, it was shot and killed. and we were going to filmed is really army operation. and

suddenly they shot us without asking us to leave or stopped filming the 1st bullet hit me and the 2nd bullet hit sharina. they killed her in cold blood because they are killers and specialized, and killing only palestinian people. we had no resistance and there was no palestinian resistance at all. at the scene. journalist somebody was also shot and injured in the attack. there was no exchange of fire. so there is no possibility whatsoever in the city, and they always use the excuses to cover up the crimes committed against palestinians, including posting agenda according to rights groups. israel has killed 50 journalists since 2000 and injured more than 144 in the past 4 years alone. but this is also not the 1st time

israel has intentionally targeted al jazeera last year. the networks office in garza was bomb trouble. while journalists devoted, but it was assorted by israeli forces, whilst reporting on israel's ethnic cleansing of our residents in occupied east jerusalem street. the rough neighborhood, israeli authorities say they've launched an investigation, was human rights group say they have little faith in israeli, just particularly with renowned organizations like human rights watch. and i'm going to see international accusing israel of implementing a system of apartheid that high off and human rights organizations, for example, like bit settling and it's really human rights. so can i say that decided the long time ago that there are no longer going to even interact with the complaint system? bear with invisible aly army because it is not serious. it doesn't find is there

a disorders guilty? i thought his foreign ministry, whose country hosts the al jazeera network, issued a statement with senior diplomats, no one hot or demanding an end to what she called, state sponsored israeli terrorism. the european union and other members of the international community have also condemned the killing. but all these condemnations have fallen short of including any sanctioning or punishment for a crime that threatens the essence of any free society. a free press should in was kill, trying to inform the world of what was happening in her country. the world now knows that in occupied palestine, no one is safe from israel's bullets. not even journalists who am i lecture young? i just hero. on wednesday israeli police pushed in to screen up to act as family home an occupied east. jerusalem as morn has paid their respects, their relatives,

friends, and supporters of the journalists protested against the police action. some of a black, those relatives have spoken of their grief with . i just want to understand why they killed her. why did they kill her? she isn't. she wasn't my aunt, she's also my best friend, my 2nd long. oh my companion, she was my everything. she someone i've been looking up to ever since i was a kid watching all over reports with them and i never imagined. i never thought this day with com, where the news would be about her and she won't be the one who was covering the youth. stephanie decker has more now from outside the family home. more people have been arriving here as the night goes on to pay their

condolences to sharina family. we are just outside the family home in bay 29 occupied east jerusalem are you also have toned being of being some throughout the evening about unity palestinian unity also condemning what happened calling for revenge and also just highlighting the tragedy of what happened here. many people here extremely angry, extremely sad to me, shot at what happened was she didn't i. yeah. i hadn't got up to date, serene unites us. she unites all our homes and towns. she unites, all palestinians from north to south were all crying. she read the whole world is crying, she read, sharing is an icon, her so paid for her free words. we will never forget sharing. today were gathered in front of shirlen's house to pay our respects. she will forever be in our hearts

said earlier in the day we had 3 israeli police officers arriving here, entering the home to much protest from everyone here. or they started yelling at them inside the house, telling them to leave. basically, they were telling the family to switch off the patriotic songs that were being played outside has made people extremely angry, extremely offensive at a time when the family is still coming to terms of what has happened, serena's brother is due to arrive this evening. and neath will be arriving on thursday, i should ins, body will be in the my law on thursday. why the palestinian person with a bath will be holding a salvage. and then our final resting place will happen here in jerusalem on friday, showing up black. there was a pioneering palestinian american, john listed a household name from many earlier her body was taken to the al serra headquarters in the occupied west bank. oh,

large crowd gathered outside the building in ramallah to pay their respects and express anger over the killing. grieving, colleagues and friends prayed over her remains before showing 40 was carried through the streets of the city. neither abraham reports from ramallah we know city is a very well respected journalist, but it's still a very hard thing to see. people who don't know her personally, people who just came because they seen her on tv for years covering and telling their stories. so they were here, they were crying. we've also seen our colleagues who have been in jeanine since the early morning. some of them who had with her when she was shot injured, taken to the hospital, were shouting at her, asking her to wake up. they were in shock. so others went in the morning when they heard the news to janine. and then all of them brought the body here to them allah

to al jazeera building, one of the places she loved and spent a lot of time. and we've seen their colleagues hugging each other, even the people that i've been seeing throughout this morning, holding up trying to be strong, pushing through. i've seen them break down a difficult seeing the we can say that palestine is morning one of her kind female journalists. they're building towards the hospital where city in st. buddy is gonna stay for the night ahead of the preparations for the a burial ceremony. we've seen people here go in as continuous protest walk in the streets of drama, la, remembering city in chanting slogans. i remembered in her so

we are expecting the body to be taken to the presidential headquarters where there is going to be an official ceremony held by the palestinian president. so honor she did and we are expecting the body to be buried in jerusalem on friday. dowd khattab as journalist and former deputy chairman of the international press, the institute, he believes israel's military targeted sharyn. what most people don't understand. israel does not recognize alice, simeon professional journalist. there are journalists who work for international agencies like the a b or like 0. but that's there are only given accreditation because they work for a 0. nobody working for us to be even recognize we don't, there is read doesn't even issue press card or accreditation,

valid student journalist is randy, don't even recognize them. they, they can deal with them like they are, other than being every combatants of some kind. and so we have a real problem in that israel use the service. obviously one is a german warrant for just happens to be an american. you know, all a sudden, you know, that even the israeli narrative was changing at one time that you know it's about there and then suddenly changed their narrative. realize this was just the other germans were not dealing with iran over the country. that is opposed to the us. we're dealing with a strong ally of the us. it continues to, i need to claim and they are going to investigate the need to investigate. they gave the orders, you know, a sniper who supports in right below. busy the helmet and above the flank has to be really nice and snipers don't shoot somebody unless they get orders. but somebody ordered this paper to kill this woman. this palestinian woman turns out to be an

american, but that's not the case. the case is they didn't want anybody to feel because. busy coming in early the morning, they wanted to do whatever they wanted to do in union, and they don't want anybody to record that document. and that's why she was kim, the u. s. s. strongly condemned the killing in the state department says those responsible must be held accountable. white house correspondent, kimberly hall care report. dozens of journalists in washington gathering near the offices of al jazeera on wednesday to mourn the loss of one of their own. she read a book, clay a colleague, they loved for her friendship and admired for her work, no matter what it don't work that is respected at the highest levels of the us government. now, the biden administration is condemning sharina, killing an american citizen, and calling for an investigation and prosecution of those responsible. it is important to us. it is important to the world that that investigation be thorough,

that it be on premises, that'd be transparent. and importantly, that investigations in, with full accountability and those responsible for her death being held responsible for their actions on capital hill for the most powerful member of the us house of representatives. met with jordan king abdullah, nancy pelosi called the killing a horrific tragedy. adding the cause versus committed to the defense of press freedom worldwide. people woke up to the killing of serene o'clock on the floor, palestinian american member of congress rashid to leave cold for a moment of silence. earlier she tweeted, she read of clay was murdered by a government the received unconditional funding by our country with 0 accountability. indeed, the security relationship between the us and israel stretches back for decades each

year, billions in unconditional security assistance provided the irony, one of those weapons paid for by us taxpayers, could ultimately be found responsible for the death of an america last month at the white house correspondents association, dinner and evening, dedicated to honoring journalism. u. s. president joe biden said the rights of journalists to do their job must be protected. the pre fresh is not the enemy, the people for prom 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 abu, our clay kimberly helped al jazeera,

the white house. they had our as the executive director of the council on american islamic relations. he says, the us should lead the way in taking action against israel. united states is the biggest supplier of arms and support are of the set of is that we send is a $3000000.00 every year in military aid, 23 percent of the global military 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 on condition. and we want this by the administration to walk the walk and talk the talk by holding. is there a accountable? so far, all the previous us administrations let is that i get away literally with or 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 across. if you 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. it cannot be trusted with any investigation because the world knows how sophisticated is directly spokespeople and leaders in twisting the facts and all was blaming the victims. they should not get that. we would that this time, we are a nation of laws and our citizens are the most valuable people. sharing an article is 11 of the said, the citizens of the united states, who was an eye witness as a journalist, documenting and reporting what she sees to the war. so that it be, i always should in our bartlett and 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 connections and, and our presence to just remind mr. shanade this b i'd that should, in a burglar, should not be treated less than any other american citizen. on the and human rights offer says that and pianos, he must to end at christen, slavery has more now on the reaction from you and had courses and new york. he marked that he is right 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 this collision of situation that is happening by the israeli authorities and that started during the month of ramadan. so this is not only an attack on a person. oh, what were the, what a senior or not. but that is not that one,

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, of 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 under 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. there oblique, also called for action on the part of the security council and a resumption of the peace process. warning that if world powers don't focus on the region, confrontations and misery will continue. kristen filling me al jazeera, the united nations falcon is a member of the u. k. parliament with the opposition laid a labor party. he says, any investigation needs to be independent. let me 1st will start by saying that i would like to express my sincere condolences and sympathies for the tragic murder off your colleague. and of course, also with our family for losing such a kick. we're going to bring to it. but i am personally deeply disturbed and outreach to learn more to chevy. sadly,

this is not isolated a policy for years we've seen how large number of people have been killed egypt. and that's not acceptable. i think perhaps the key point here is that this investigation should be independent so that everybody can have confidence clearly over the past history. and there are many who don't have the confidence in simple, straightforward quality, independent. so this is what the number of them to us could be same today in britain. the key point i think is for everybody's interest is that this inquiry is dependent so we can then need to move forward. and then ultimately, all of us agree that crossed the world. the journalist to betty cruise should an important role in reporting conflicts and seeks to the children telling the story

of it. and that must be protected for tests and everybody's interest. this happens . and here we expect the british government also to have the same values and therefore court for an independent inquiry into the instant that salam, the true sam base human rights organization just ain't, says ready claims about the death of serene apple. acura is ready for says issued a video which they say says an armed palestinian firing. but solomon has published footage, analyzing this location, saying it doesn't match up with the place at west shore vein was killed. i guy, ella, does the executive director of bet sell him? he explains why israel's claims don't walk. 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 of spokesperson, in the immediate hours after the killing,

also show you what's the future is researcher. it's found engineering this morning. my colleague, him study was that in fact, it is inconceivable. it's absolutely impossible. dot the footage on which to show which the propaganda was basing its false claims could in no shape or form have 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 the situation is what israel is most tried and unfortunately successful tricks and the last impunity that provides itself. israel does not investigate israel washers and the investigation is just the 1st or rather the announcement on

the investigation is just the 1st stage in the slides washed investigations are not meant to establish accountability. they are meant to protect the perpetrators. is there any palestinian contact remains one of the most dangerous for journalists, the new york based committee to protect journalist estimates 18 have been killed since 1992. but the palestinian journalist syndicate estimates the terrifica is 3 times higher. blaming israel, a fire from most casualties. st. best roddy has more. oh, in israel's occupation of palestine, it's tactics have become increasingly aggressive over the decades. so to it's cracked out on media workers covering oh, the killing of al jazeera journalist and palestinian american sharina ugly and left . the latest example on you can call them up. i yeah. in may 2021 in israeli air

raid brought down a building in the gaza strip that housed local people and international media offices, including those of al jazeera press. freedom advocates said it was an attempt to silence journals a month later. israeli police destroyed out your equipment and arrested jerusalem correspondent javala today. oh no. oh, breaking her head in the process. what the witnesses said? her press sign was clearly visible and the arrest was unprovoked abruptly was also in her press. best and helmet at the time of her death. time and time again. it has been shown that you know, israeli forces kill palestinian, including palestinian journalists without cause in the occupied territory. and its berry ex, extremely rare that israeli soldiers, captains, or military officials are ever held accountable for their actions. israel often

uses what he calls secret evidence to detain palestinian journalists for months without you process and restrict their movement. attacks by israel forces have also looked 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 of walkways death, israel's army says it does not target journalists and is foreign minister suggested conducting a joint investigation and autopsy and offer palestinian leaders refused. israeli forces have directly targeted journalists with lethal force in the past. in 2008 israeli soldiers killed reuters cameraman. fidel shawna, he filmed the tank as it fired the show that killed him. his final image is captured on tape before his camera was destroy. shun our 2 was wearing body armor

marked press at the time of his death sharina of oakley was killed, covering in israeli raid on jeanine in the occupied west bank. the cutter based broadcaster, said ojo 0 producer ali also moody was also wounded. the latest casualties of israeli attacks on journalists that seem to go on with impunity in basra, v o to 0 and sasa center of justice for palestinians has demanded an investigation . and the systematic targeting of journalists by israel independent organizations said sharina dedicated her life to one of the most important principles in a democracy. freedom of speech, journalists like sharina, crucial and holding governments that violate international law to account is as 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 . the samsung lot is the party, an ambassador to the united kingdom and sharon's personal friend. he said israel's

trying to stifle the truth. she is not the 1st and the good to believe might not be the last palestinian jordan, is to be mother assassinated by the israeli occupation. it's not only killing the body of it, it's filling the spirit of in the message of should in the idea of surely it is killing the truth. this occupation is after the truth. they want to assassinate the truth. they want to us us in a job. madison, they want to make sure that they commit the crimes, but without being reporter, it's a cover. so the, the bullet that head her head and a brilliant, stubborn head was a bullet targeted at the truth targeted at the international community college targeted and the profession of press and journalism targeted as everybody who wants to reveal the truth. and also this is linked to the lack of accountability is what

has been doing this for a long, long time. 74 years journalists, medics, teachers bypasses what have you children. and there is no accountability. all what we hear from the international community. i mean here, government, including the u. k. government are statements of concern with no action when in fact, such at the level it targeted killing of a journalist minutes an immediate international criminal investigation by the i. c . c and immediate or imposition of sanctions on the occupying state. that is as well. and when we follow what the west, the western countries are doing these of you claims the immediate employment of sanctions and we follow the lack of such actions. not one of them, not one of the structures are applied to is right. we throw our arms in there and wondering about the double standards, the diversity of international community. so part of the blame,

big part of the blame is on the in action of the international community. and if the killing of should be in a barclay today, that was recorded live on camera does not merit international sanctions. what does as on corona's, a palestinian activist? she says serene was an important figure for generation of palestinians. i grew up going to the friends girl school and drama and she wants visited our school. i was around 7 when the intifada. the 2nd to father began and so her name and her voice, the tone of her voice in specific was when we would often emulate on when we as kids would get together. most of our parents were around the clock watching tv when electricity was available. and so she didn't always just represented the truth.
