heidi complex. so it's very important that we make them as understandable as we can do as many people as possible, no matter how much they know about a given crisis or issue with the smell of death is overpowering as al jazeera correspondence. that's what we strive to do is, is well, a rogue state. it's army, has killed al jazeera journalist shooting a blacklist in cold blood. and this is not the 1st time will, is well, get away with its crimes and who can hold it to the account. this is inside story. ah hello and welcome to the program. i'm hashem, abala sheen. a walker was

a household name across the middle east, the veteran al jazeera journalist, and why spread praise for more than 2 decades of reporting on israel's occupation of palestinian territory, telling stories of war atrocities and palestinian resistance. she was shot in the had, as she covered israel's latest weight on the jenin refugee camp in the occupied west bank. as is the icon down the killing as a blatant murder. intended to prevent journalists from conducting bad duty cutters, emir called on those who are assassinated, serene to be brought to justice. shalysea takes a look at what we know about the killing of shooting. 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 sharing, a veteran reporter who spent her life covering events and occupied palestine was among a group of journalist 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. and this is also not the 1st time israel has intentionally targeted al jazeera. last year, the networks office in gaza was want to rebel. 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 neighbourhood, israeli authorities say they've launched an investigation human rights group say

they have little faith in israeli justice, particularly with renowned organizations like human rights watch. and i'm going to see international accusing israel of implementing a system of apartheid. high off and human rights organizations, for example, like bit said limb and is that a human breast? so can i issue at 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 is foreign ministry whose country hosts the al jazeera network. issue to statements is really occupation killed algae. they are a journalist, sharina blackledge by shooting her in the face while wearing the press fest and a helmet. she was covering their attack and janine refugee camp. this state sponsored israeli terrorism must stalled and unconditional support to israel must

and 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 an occupied palestine, no one is safe from israel's bullets. not even journalists. ha ha my lunch, her young. i'll just 0. the kidney goes to the in a walk lead triggered international condemnation. the un special envoy for the middle east peace process demanded an immediate and thorough investigation. the us ambassador to his rail, also twittered a call for a firewall. probe into the circumstances of her death. israel has proposed

a joint inquiry, but the policy and foreign minister said it does not trust investigation by an occupying state, adding. they don't not lead to a place other than acquitting criminals and murderers. last month, international and policy and media groups submitted a former complaint to the international criminal court, accusing israel of war crimes against journalists. the committee to protect journalist says 24 journalists have been killed since 2002. that figure does not include chile and a barclay other press freedom. advocates have reported higher numbers. israel systematically target journalists from media outlets including al jazeera, several or border humanitarian flotilla. adding to garza were detained in 2010 a year ago this week. and is rarely asked rag, destroyed the officers of al jazeera and the associated press in gaza. and

a month later israeli soldiers arrested as ja janice, give audible. deary, as she covered protests in the occupied is jerusalem. ah, let's bring in our guests in west jerusalem. her guy led is executive director of these where the information center for human rights in the occupied territories. in doha, ayesha in bassetti researcher the alice center for research and policy studies in cambridge. i'm a horrid professor of journalism at american university of bay road and senior fellow of harvard kennedy school. welcome to the program. again. how would you characterize is the position of this? why the government so far? because when you listen to been against the defense minister, he seems to be implying that this could have the fire that targeted as sitting a block on, i could have come from these wireless side. you have the prime minister of tally, but it's saying that the same time, no,

we should blame the palestinian fighters for this. i mean, do they want to be very quickly from their initial efforts to deflect by suggesting in numerous ways from, from mr. down the idea of source 1st. so another young ministers to foreign minister who is also the prime minister on very quickly suggesting it based on assurance of you know, clear that it was been a student gunfire and it killed the issue in a walk lane injured. and her colleague and then one star was thoroughly debunk within a few hours i. ready also asked to work of the time itself and they've shifted to what is typically a very routine which is offering an investigation. and ross experience very clearly demonstrates that and the cases of such kennings of athenians, the announcement of israel's desire or intention to investigate as not need to accountability. it's just the beginning of the beginning of the states organized

wire. i showed me the that these riley government is quoting for john to vesta. geishas, the policy authority says it does not trust a joint investigation with us. this leave the case of shedding ab laughlin. well, i thought with this question, do we really need an investigation? any history cation for wendy's got i from what we saw from what we heard are via the media professional unions who were there just next to she, lee, and who are also victims of the same attack. they saw the perpetrators. there i went, i think they're witnessing the if it is targeting she and, and her colleagues is quite enough to establish this crime. i agree with

just has been said, a b, b investigation is an old trick. it's a strategy to, ah, mother, to words, to our office a to bite time. and so a, b, b or the outrage and potentially if you and barry is going to be another case or story killed. so i, i think that i've been enough evidence. i would, this is a very incredible and yes, my things bad out of it, since i'm not trustworthy to be with this is of an attack that they saw. the best rate is that would be a discrimination, a rami, the, the, the, the, the policy and president man or die bass said that the authority is going to take the case to the i. c. c, international criminal court. do you see the case taking that path any, any in any time soon? oh, it's likely that the i c. c will be asked to open investigation of preliminary investigation,

reporters with our borders and amnesty international have already. them tried to use the international criminal court to investigate the israeli of destruction of an entire apartment block of offices last year and gather that had the associated press and j 0 another journalist. so that likelihood of any serious action by the i c. c is slim, but the palestinians are now using every opportunity available to them. a non violently and legally, to mobilize public opinion, to lean on the rule of law to hold zionism and israel accountable for their actions. and i think we see more calls of this kind about probably a very little independent investigation is likely to happen, but i don't think much investigation is needed if you looked at the washington post story this morning for 3 terrific reporters on the ground who went there and spent

hours investigating every angle, every israeli claim, every palestinian claim, and they showed the evidence is pretty clear. i guy, you spoke of what happened when these rally government posted the video is showing about a seeing fighters trying to create its own narrative by suggesting that these could that be the people who half killed shit in a haughty except that when you stepped in, as a bit sailing and he said this is absolutely no way that this could have come from those areas. now, when you look at that position by these railey government, right after the beginning of the international outcry against the assassination of should in a block lead, do you see the potential for an independent imposter investigation by these rarely government that would provide the crucial elements of exactly what happened and the circumstances of the kid interested in a barclay and we have experience of unfortunately of many years. oh, we're of the ability to analyze and you understand what is your investigation

system is really about. it's not meant to style accountability. it is managed to protect the brain for a traitors by pushing against the jurisdiction of international justice. while suggesting that there is domestic recourse while in fact there isn't. so there's a reason why he hasn't invests all these efforts, endotomic solutions on what it looks like, an investigation there so that there won't be international jurisdiction. one of the same time succeeding in providing itself with blanket impunity. and i think from israel's perspective, looking back at the record from numerous cases of killings of stance and i was american, is jerusalem in maine or millions. york rations can scarf uses oceans. snipers against stem demonstrates was rendered great, much frittering. and so many other examples eventually is, are managed to get away with us to maintain this reality of committing more crimes

and enjoying community. and at the same time. so preserving, standing in the world as you know, a democratic nation member. also, there was some club with countries in san with no consequences, and that's really what is a certain show what must change if we are into eventually, it gets closer to some sort of justice here. i shall, when you see the string of international condemnation and statements coming out right after the assassination of city knob wallclear, the e, as in gun independent investigation, the united nations human rights chief, michelle boston. i think that is about time for and to impunity in israel. but do you see realistically at sons for a change of behavior in israel as far as the atrocities committed against journalists august 18th, we have been here since yesterday. ah, they've been actually playing

a dance of israel because they've been also playing the same game of casting doubt about the testimony of the media professional, many students who are there and sort of reference ranges. i think what i, what should be i looked at right now is the big picture while she was killed was targeted one 1st of all because she was germany that she was chasing, and the stories about the crimes and exposing but also because she was an hour that is timmy ah, who is i like most of the targeting is doing this is the rise to exist is denied by israel and she was a same. the story of upper tide is way. i think the big picture not right now is a what happened? ah, in, in that come why she was there. she was there because, but it's synonyms image and income. they're leaving and to under the upper time israel and that is the story. i love the,

our international so called international community deals way with issue and i think that would be change plus the, the, the big old sit step that has been taken by the un was actually the report by the europe hotel, escrow operator michael inc. on on 22nd march share 2022 who exposed for the 1st time. facts that have being documented by that seems by bitterly or urban zation by him. right sir. wharton animation international. so he confirm that these are not for type in a system in israel, and that has to be dismantled unless the nation community deals with this issue. i don't think there will be a change, or i'm if they have been many manner report over the last few years by independent

media organizations in the occupied territories. talk him and documenting the cases of abuse and killing of journalists for many years in those areas. we haven't seen an international outcry. could the case of should in a barclay be the moment there would bring together a new awareness about the need to put an end to targeting of journalists? i doubt that it will go that far, but what it will do is add one more element in a growing crescendo of international concern, mobilization, action, political pressure, public statements, media coverage, organizing and labor groups and universities all over the world. very, very slow trend and the last 1015 years and especially in the last year since last may, june and, and drew fleming other places around palestine. we've seen

a significant but slow trend and which governments tissue statements, but they don't take action. and now we're seeing more and more actual videos is the main way that this is happening. but there's also a lot of cases in the united states, parliamentary decisions in europe, the labor union banks, supermarkets in europe, places all saying we will not be complicit. and israel's apartheid colonial system in the occupied palestinian territory. and treatment of palestinians should ends us as a nation will add one more push to this and it'll bring journalists more actively into the specialist. and she was a do citizen, american, and palestinian. but the most critical point, i think, to, to grasp is how this is being framed by our sins as part of a 100 year struggle that this has been going on since the 1920s. and janine was a center of our indian resistance to early zionism,

and the 1930 s and has been ever since, as has gas. and the israelis were sending the army to one of the strongest armies in the world into this world. most the little streets and the refugee camp with massive firepower intelligence satellite you can think of, and they still can't quell it. they cannot stop the resistance. and janine, and that's why they were there, and that's where sharon was there and that's why she was shot. so this is a bigger story on the context, has to be appreciated as an ongoing resistance war by alice indians, mostly peaceful against the colonial zionist israeli. moved since the 19 tins, 19151917 in the balance is still in israel's favor politically globally. but it is slowly, slowly moving towards ok. even handle position. this is important. i would like here view about about

a goes back to who would be talking about now. bit selim the organization is that you work full has been doing an extraordinary work over the last few years in documenting human rights violations in these really occupied territories. now, these really government has been really angered by some of you are a report to the point way has been trying to produce new reports, power reports to discredit your narrative or the same time to give you a, an example. 2019, the united nations human rights council commission is report about it found that there are indications on the ground that is rarely snipers have been targeting a palestinian jonas who are trying to cover what was happening on the ground. these rather government rejected the finding, saying that these are kangaroo court reports the the way these railey government has been dealing with your report or with their reports from the international community. what kind of message to the people?

yes, maybe if you allow me just before i address out one more thing about the critical the infinity is for israel suppression of unions. and what i want to spell out does is the following. it's impossible to conduct such an oppressive regime. again, are people over decades without the usage of organized state all the time to take their allowance to control them, to oppress them. so violence is essential aspects of ability to do this to people. but it has to come, having hadn't really impunity because it doesn't grab the unity doesn't have the ability to apply this kind of violence and successfully control statements. so this is teja cornerstone regime. it has to be understood as

a feature of the system. now with regard to the way the governor to address records and the reports of, you know, other human rights ministration of a state of innovation. and so it's very difficult a response that doesn't address the substance because they really can't argue with, with the fact. and with the analysis to try and shoot the message you're trying to, you know, present us as traitors or indicate colleagues, typically the governments will try to present them as terrorists. and with regard to international entities, usually will use some of those. okay. so it was by just former prime minister as both of terrorism. and as i said, i shot briefly if you don't mind, could it be this prevailing sentiment in particularly in the west that you know, you know, what? because these, this is a part of the world where you have dictators where of instability as

a war and so forth, of violence and radical groups. you know, what? who cares about the fate of the journalist when they die? because it don't get the same response. when it comes to a similar case, when a western journalist is talk her is targeted or is killed. well, i think the, the main reason is because is a israel is actually the, the product, the by products of a western clone. you are sadly resent this is there, maybe basically, so this is, whatever is really doing is the result of the aggression which you, i am fortunately contributed to are through the partition resolution and all over the back of the action and a knack of action. it undertook so that they're both basically b a, b r. the reason why be, are they don't want to watch? oh, is there to account for you and has a measurable to play?

i would see 1st that it has to follow up on me and my killing reports on the upper tried israel and the need for a clean 2nd. these are a un security council resolution 2334. that was adopted in 2016, which calls on and in the activation and also an indian legal settlement that also has to need a follow up by the honest trying to settle aside these. also at the i c, c i c c. we haven't heard can him high now he was very hard to, to, to take a 1st her, her name to where to ukraine and as typing justification. and we haven't heard from you on when it comes to palestine in thank you on here. he is so, and these are the 3 major decision makers that need to do dorothy,

in order to dismantle the upper. thank you very much. indeed. this is exactly what should be in a black lab said, when she was last interviewed, i 1st went into unique refugee camp 20 years ago. before that i had to overcome my fear. i chose to become a journalist because i wanted to be close to people. i shall bassetti and i me a hoodie, her guy really appreciate your insight. thank you. and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com for further discussion. go to our facebook page that facebook dot com forward slash ha inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter. i'll hand it is add a jane size loading for me. hash him and the entire team here in doha. i for now african story from african perspective, short documentaries,
