flu. and last night with her sister in law was she our parents passed away quite some time ago. she will be need to register for cra beside her parents and done palestinian journalist yesterday voted on this posting very strong pictures on social media. i'm mentioning that how one lady had said, you know, where's her family? because of course it is that it's very normal. it's the norm to be married to have children. and one lady was one like she doesn't have anyone. and there was a 17 year old palestinian. they said no, she has to be our her family. we are here for her a, we are hers. so this is the sentiment across the board. i mean, here you were surrounded by journalist. they all know we know her, but she's actually told i haven't never met her. she talks to people who been watching her, who've been listening to her report and document the occupation in the policy and terry, she's in occupied westbank in here and occupied east jerusalem. people distort crying. we've never met her. and that's how personal her death is to people. and

how shocking, and even for us, you know, we haven't, we haven't, everything has happened in the occupied west bank so far. she's now being brought here talking about instruments of them. it's very difficult to know that we're going to see her come here delayed, you know, on this bed and going into a mortgage. if so, it's, it's, it's very difficult to comprehend. of course, a steph, i know you've been, you've been covering the region for some time. talk us through, you know, what the impact that her reporting has had on, on you and on the generations of palestinians who, who grew up seeing her work and, and seeing that the huge events that have happened in palestine in that time with yes, will you have had to in t fathers, you've had wars come and go, you had the expansion of settlements. you pad, the peace talks, you've had the oslo accords, you've had everything that is defined where we are today. and she is someone who

has documented that she's arriving actually, i'm just being a, let me just stop talking for a moment. i understand that's is it that her body is not going to be brought into the hospital. she's, she's going, she's been coming out of her. she really has to come and i called her and a symbol of israel's occupation. i think it's going to be again, you know, she, she used to basically, she was doctor know, and i've been taught yet. i mean, it's government officials that are arriving, but she was documenting that minutia over the occupation if you will. so the international media comes here when there is a war when there is a serious escalation. when you know, when it's something major, what she did and what al jazeera does, and particularly alger arabic, is a document, the small things. this is how also she died. she was documenting a raid engine in india. why do i think that happens a pretty much on the, on a daily basis we are expecting a major,

a rated. these really have been debating. it's been in the media. there has been expectations. what she documented on wednesday morning was a. so if you will simply another israeli ray that palestinians have to endure. so it's a really high voice, is, is it is of the essence of what the occupation is for palestinians. it's not the major events that the world weight up to it is the day the reality. and i think this is i go, you have such an outdoor of grief for her and such an outboard unity for her from people who don't know her. and also we were just discussing with our colleagues, i don't think we, i don't think every journalist has the capacity to create the kind of emotion that sharina, you know, she was very modest. she had no go, she was already all hazardous, and she was just simply a very, a lot of the young people and the many people who have messaged

me said we grew up with her. in fact, you know, one friends sent me a, it was like a picture showing a young child. what she, i think we might be very sorry, is actually showing a young child that watching the television growing into an age or into an adult. and we lectures of sharina on the, on the tv growing as well. and then the last picture of her gone so very symbolic as to a new generation that has been inspired by her that is grown up with her as she brought the daily reality of the occupation into people's homes. not just now occupied by the style, but across the world, the staff while with call you, i'm wondering if your, if your camera operator can just give us a sort of sense of the scene there. because, you know, they see this whole throughout the day. we've just seen people lining the streets everywhere that sure, and our barclays body has been taken wanting to, to pay their respects. and again, we are, we are seeing that here in,

in occupied east jerusalem. as we wait for her body to arrive there, it will be taking to the morgue. they're entitled, she will be there tomorrow. are there earlier in the day? was a state service at the press actual compounds with some words by the palestinian president abbas. ah, sharina barclay was 51 years old. she was of course, in an algebra journalist, a world renowned journalist shot dead by israeli forces in the occupied westbank. in janine, as our correspondent has been telling us, saw on wednesday this is obviously been a shock to to everyone who knew her to, to her colleagues there. and to all of the people who grew up watching her on television. ah, history was hit by life. will that while covering 5 minutes is re the raids. i think staff, if you can still hear me, it sounds like her, her body is just just

a few minutes away now. yes, i can hear you with a yeah we're, we're all waiting from what we understand around 5 minutes potentially depends on traffic. i mean there's no s florida here, but we do understand that she's she's close. you can see the preparations here. the medics trying to get the media trying to organize the media to stand back because she will be laid or she will. she will be late here for about 10 to 15 minutes from what we understand or earlier, a lady was handing out roses. you could probably see actually i'm hearing an ambulance now her while we wait while we see whether she is or i be you probably are, looks at me. they are putting rolls, put those. i think she'll probably arriving. see rose petals being laid out and you see a, a not an as well tomorrow she will be late as she will 1st

b passing by having the ceremony in a church it within the walls of the old city here in occupied his true sum. and then she'll be buried next to her parents in the cemetery. i'm just trying to see, i haven't heard about whether the ambulance is a i think we're still going to are, i think she's still some time away. but yes, as we were talking before, i mean, you saw those images from what my law, you saw the images of people lining the streets. i also the calendar refugee can, you know, she's a symbol of the occupation. why are there refugee camps in the occupied west bank? well, because people were displaced from their homes for decades and decades. there is no hope in the sense that the last time they were piece taught was there were 2014 this because we're talking about the occupation you're talking about documenting as reporters, as journalists, the escalation, an ebb and flow of what happens here. and that's going to continue happening until you address the underlying issue, which is the occupation. and again,

if we're talking about the last time they had piece talk, this was 2014 and they were talking about talk to start the tools. they never even managed to scratch the surface about the real complicated issues like east jerusalem, like borders like the return of refugees, which even many people will tell you is an impossibility. but it's so complex. but again, she represented the daily reality of the occupation, not just the big wars knowing just the major stories sharina was there every day into people's households. and this is why, you know, she is really managed to unite and cause this outpouring, grief and anger as well. at steph, uh we will pay to stand by will, will cross back to you. ah, when terean's body does arrive for now. thank you for that. stephanie deca. israel says it will investigate. she means killing and offered to do it in conjunction with palestinian officials in a tweet p. o. executive committee member hussein or shake explained why have declined that israel requested

a joint investigation and asked for the bullet that assassinated sheree. we refused that we affirmed that our investigation would be completed independently and we will inform her family, the u. s. cutter and all official and popular authorities of the results of the investigation. all indications, evidence, and witnesses confirmed that she was assassinated. fi is radio special units and video analysis of where sharon was killed contradicts israel's original account of the shooting cause halo as haughty on explains, are not out of the hog book. shortly after sharina lockley was killed, the israeli government began circulating this video. it shows an arm palestinian firing his weapon. israel says it shows how the veteran al jazeera correspondent was likely shot by palestinian gunfire and not by its forces. but that's disputed by rights groups. witnesses and journalists who've analyzed the video. israel says this is where the palestinian fighter opened fire. from this point,

jerusalem based human rights organization selim says there are too many walls, alleys and buildings, blocking the site where sharin was shot. and gps verification and dozens of video clips shows. this is where is really soldiers were located as a rated a home. and janine it shows a direct line of fire to where sharon was shot and killed the side is also far from the palestinian resistance whiter. who was about 260 meters away. i guess selim says israel's version of events is based on a false narrative designed to protect the perpetrators there is no line of sight between one location and the other. and in fact, our researcher it into staking him a few minutes to walk from one location to the other location. the announcement on investigation as well as israel's mosca tried and unfortunately successful. it

tricks in their blanket impunity dealers resume provides itself a witnesses really, forces were not under attack, was laud. when the journalists arrived, they were surprised because the occupation forces were closing the street with their military vehicles and then they started shooting at them. a man tried once again to retrieve sharon's body for we were not aware at that point that she had been killed. he tried to provide 1st aid to her not so they started shooting at him and the bullets hit a tree over his head. the guys who were not throwing stones, nor shooting, there was no form of resistance over me. the european union has called for an independent investigation into her death. and the u. s. envoy to the us has call for sharina killing to be transparently investigated. but israel has a track record of not punishing its soldiers who have committed crimes against palestinians. and it's never jailed one of its soldiers for the killing of a journalist called hello. this is a young al jazeera with me in the studio now is the ion. he is an associate

professor of history at georgetown university here in katara. thank you for coming into the studio. people hasn't been thank people have grown up watching, sharing cover these, these huge events in the history of palestine and the palestinian struggle. how important is that the witnessing of this? i mean, i think her contribution has been absolutely immense. you know, not to, to kind of over stress the point, but she's been covering these events going back decades to the point that she's brought, the palestinian struggle into the lives of millions and millions of people worldwide . especially given that this was really the 1st truly global news network that was showing things from the perspective of people living there on the ground. i think it's also important to, to keep in mind that not only was she covering the obvious, the wars, the, the frequent assaults on gaza, people in the west bank, but she's, she's there covering the daily attacks on people. she's covering the daily struggles with ethnic cleansing,

with the expansion of settlements over the last 2 decades. when we consider the fact that ever since the oslo process began settlement have more than tripled in the west bank. and so those kinds of daily affronts to the idea of palestinians being able to exercise any sort of sovereignty on their own. land has been covered tremendously by, by shipping throughout this entire period from the audience of what the oslo process is. because we've had a few different correspondence talking about it before the your professor of history. so just lay that out for sure. i mean, this is, this is the process that began in the early 1991. there was the possibility that there could be a 2 state resolution to the competing claims over historical palestine. and yet what we've seen, of course, since then is that all that the also process allowed is for the palestinians essentially abandon any sense of attempting to struggle for their liberation. and at the same time, permitting israel to continue to expand its, its ethnic cleansing of palestine. and again, this is a process that began going back to 1948 when the state of israel was established at

the expense of 3 quarters of a 1000000 palestinians who were made refugees overnight. and of course, the remainder of the residence there became either citizens of israel that received 2nd class citizen treatment. or in the case of palestinians in the west bank and gaza, who hadn't, are actually stateless but exist under state of permanent military occupation and continuous colonialism. let's zoom out for a minute and just explain to us how it is that this has been allowed to continue for 7 to use because you have no the no direct comparison. but you have russia invading ukraine and you have the glow. the west is resounding and its condemnation and this must end quickly and we will do everything we can. how is it that an occupation like this has been allowed to continue for so long? well, i think it is in part the responsibility of western powers who 1st going all the way back to the british occupation and colonization of palestine who permitted for the emergence of subtler colonial movement that was european and its origins to

solve a number of the problems in the forces of kind of discrimination and genocide that were taking place in europe, going back to the 19th and 20th centuries and at the same time happening at the expense of the indigenous population. and so we've seen the kind of emergence of a settler colonial entities similar to what we've seen, for instance in south africa under apartheid. of course we've seen now the overwhelming majority of human rights organizations around the world have have all come to the conclusion of what palestinians have been saying for decades. which of course, is the fact that israel is exercising an apartheid type control over the lives of palestinian within the state of israel. and also within the occupied territories, there's been no political will on the part of the international community, as we know it, whether it's the united nations, whether it's the us european allies, to try and, and this the situation in any kind of meaningful or just way i believe we are very shortly expecting the arrival of the yeah,

the body of a block. they these a live pictures. obviously there's a lot of people that so this is our camera. they're getting a steady shot. you can see there are the procession coming in. they're carrying that funeral, we're carrying the company. i believe we have staff, stephanie deca, stafford, if you can hear us. and if you're in a face to do so, a

whole that they're basically doing a. 2 they're trying to open the way basically deal with this is i think what you're witnessing here is emotion also on part of the journalist with for that. and that's

also incredibly personal. and people are very emotional here, which is why they're trying to stop or trying to get people to, to get space. but it's been very difficult. i think now they're going to try and just curry the go and give it to because what they wanted to do was on you're hoping to put it down on the bed for 10 or 15 minutes to have people i pay. there is a setting you taken some of the sins have a

bad you sorry about oh wow. i think as you can see,

just the by emotions are chaos that the situation was they now put her into this gentleman having a rose handed out to put on the company or just trying to get some space now she's been laid into the more. 7 the body will stay until tomorrow a correspondence with. ready so incredibly hits, it's incredibly, even in some needs crying out. it's very difficult to see this now that she's arrived here on the line everywhere and i tried to keep your emotions together. so she just went to work like everyone does. i didn't expect to come home like yes she, we were watching her,

her body come back to them on to the office. nobody expected in the morning when she sent an email at 630 like everybody does, that she was going to check on the situation and jimmy on the radar to be brought back, you know, dead and having her colleagues were inconsolable around her. this is, you know, this is a, this is, i think you've got sadness here. there's going to be a lot of anger. there is anger. and i think people will tell you that, you know, accountability, injustice is very difficult. but under the circumstances under these radio occupation, she's not the 1st for she is the most high profile. it's a, it's very difficult. right. okay, thank you so much for that. so stephanie deca without team there. i know my niece drew saddam with the body of sharing his it's been taken. there's come back from studio now where we have until the ion associate professor of history at georgetown

university in cost are obviously hugely emotional scenes there. but as we've been saying, not surprising, given, i guess the, the depth of her contribution to journalism and to the, our whoa, yeah, absolutely. i think, you know, it's, it's really important to see the kinds of impact that's shedding light on these, on these abuses. and these daily atrocities can have, and i think, you know, one of the things that we heard yesterday from his lip is rarely military spokesperson. as you said, you know, they're armed with cameras. right. and this is kind of interesting to think about the way that they just oppose the work of journalists were just there to kind of shed light and try to bring a certain reality to people that often gets covered or overlooked. doesn't it onto his camera? absolutely. i think it, it really speaks to the fact that these are targeted killings and i think we've seen enough evidence of that. in fact, in 2019 that you on commission concluded that israel was intentionally targeting journalist and we've seen that this is not an isolated incident. this is occurred

dozens of times. over the last 20 years. we can point to incidence in which journalists were killed in the duty of trying to report on what's happening in israel and palestine. now, i know that the, the international federation of journalists to set up water is killing is part of a deliberate, systematic targeting of journalists. and like steph was saying, you know, she was just going to work. she was going to do her job. she's very passionate about spreading, shedding lights on, on an occupation and everything that entails to the people of palestine doing her job and in a job which is necessary for, for the world to know what is happening. what does history tell us about how is rather likely to spot a respond whether there is likely to be any, any justice while history tells us otherwise, certainly that in the course of all of the previous incidents, similar to this one that there's never been any kind of accountability that normally what these investigations do is they, they ultimately turn into cover ups attempts to basically say that there was no

response. but i mean, we've already seen that process. begin, right. we've seen the denials, we've seen the recriminations. we've seen issuing a videos that have absolutely no relevance whatsoever to the, to the killing in question. we've already seen the kinds of types of responses that we can invest from any sort of investigation and not to mention the fact that these are never in isolated incidents in the sense that it's just simply one person acting. or rather we've seen that there's structural violence involved in the way that the occupation itself functions. and so within that context, it's impossible to ever assume that there can be any kind of a you know, an objective or transparent investigation. and so the only real solution to that is to have an international body of some kind. i can actually conduct that investigation and then hold israel to account for its actions. and i guess the reporting of that structural violence, something that sharina did because as we've been saying, you know, among her many assignments with the big things covering 5 was in gaza. israel's war

with lab and on it, her home, evictions killings with palestinian youth detention and palestinian you see illegal israeli settlements which are continuing to expand but also so his daily thing. so the day the rates the impact on, on people when they're displaced. so i guess my question is, you know, how important is it that those stories are told to? absolutely, because i think this is one of the problems in terms of the way that the, the media gaze shifted focus really to the kind of the hotspots and the moments where things are really heating up in a specific place and kind of tend to ignore the daily instances of violence in the way that for instance, the ethnic cleansing that's occurring within palestine happens in ways that are much more monday and, and not as, as kind of camera friendly so to speak. so just to give you an example as of this past week and is really high court rules for the eviction of a palestinian villages. right? so these are the kinds of things that happened to home demolition. things that oftentimes don't get covered in the same way that,

that the military deal with all that military assaults do get covered, i think much more directly. but even on the media question, i mean think going back to this question of investigations, we know that last summer the israeli air force bond military building, or sorry, rather a media building in garza that has that house associated press and ultra 0. and to this day, we still don't have any kind of accountability for that. so i, i don't think that we can necessarily expect the same for this incident. a, it's quite a big question, but what i think is important for our international viewers who may not know be intimately familiar with what we mean when we say life under occupation. what we mean when we say covering covering the impacts of an occupation. so it just for, for our international audience can you explain to us what, what we mean.
