much of that misinformation has been discredited a through through video evidence to what extent is is, is there a feeling that but israel is, is losing the information for now that people are prepared to take what it says as the truth we are well, exactly if you read some of the articles in some of these reading newspapers. today, you find they kind of range between the, the remark that israel is losing whatever happens in the legal court. it's lost the case in the course of public opinion to the most optimistic out was i saw is that we might just be able, as israel get a stalemate, but we're not going to win the media narrative. it's interesting that you asked about the, the narrative and the information and this information. i spoke with one of the colleagues of sharing a camera man who was with shirley and when she was shot. and i talked to her about the possibility that this could have been anything other than

what international human rights groups have presented it as. and he said look, i took cover for a few seconds behind the wall. when i realized sharon was wounded twice, i tried to step out to reach her body and twice snipe was bullets. came at me. he's convinced that through evidence like that this was not an accidental shooting. this was a very targeted killing and you only have to read what bait sullen. they respected israeli human rights organization. what's it has released? and they said, look, if you look at what's been documented by israel in terms of where they say palestinian gunfire was taking place. but selim and his writing human rights organizations has reached the conclusion that this is in. it's impossible that this could have been the result of palestinian fire. now, israeli officials in the immediate, off some off of the attack wording statements in the direction that this was most

likely, all very possibly palestinian public seem to have walked back back a step or 2. and now, talking about investigative varone soldiers investigating themselves and the possibility that this could be ready fire. adrian 0, sally said on the alive and remodel, also in ramallah is our colleagues leader abraham. she with is inside the office, a very a bureau there in ramallah where she works. neither. this is the office of and jazeera, the colleagues work here, and this is where sharon has spent. most of her life. never seen it empty to day. it's just us, our team. no one is here at all in the funeral. and that leaves the office if she leaves. and this is where she used to work.

do her stories. now her friends, her colleagues, have but flowers. those are the posters, by the way, that we're not seeing posters all across town. on our way to jeanine this morning, we saw a sign on the way saying to jeanine shit in a broccoli. because this was one of the last posts she had on social media that she was going to jeanine. she never came back. when we went to the place where she was at shot, we seen lots and lots of people coming to see and visit with has become more like of a memorial site. even though these radio army has evaded the jenin refugee camp, it was near. but the people soon after these, really for our me forces left or the jenin refugee camp. those people came to pay their tribute. they were saying that they lost her,

they grew up watching her out poor of love, so huge. the pain is so big specifically that people say they don't believe that these really armies investigation is gonna bring her justice with out to their frustration is that they feel that no one would be held accountable for it have can, right? nobody thinks indeed, al jazeera, the abraham, that the al serra bureau in ramallah, which is where i'll tale actually, and elbow are play white. let's take you back to the cemetery and mom saw where i should be in is being laid to rest right now. al jazeera, stephanie deka is stephanie, a huge crowd of people paying their respects. yes, you can hear the church bells ringing once again. some people are leaving,

but still i believe from what i can see could probably see better. so many still going there. a lot of people still there, which is her finding resting place with her parents as we were talking about earlier. adrian and i, you know, just seeing some of our colleagues here again besides themselves, still finding it very difficult to comprehend. its been wednesday morning that we heard of the news around 7 o'clock in the morning when she'd lost, sent an email around 630 to the al jazeera arabic news desk saying she was going to check out arrayed in janine in the occupied west bank. and she would report on what was happening and then 678 hours later her body returned to the my law office on a stretcher covered in the palestinian flag to sort of her colleagues of

those who are through the television. and this is now going to be the final good bye. it's a very sad day to side day for journalism. it's inside day for palestinians. it's a psy days. many people will tell you of, you know, trying to trying to document the truth. and again, she was documenting business as usual with seeing the razor that you take, it took some pictures to the family as their colleagues at our friends. and just also a lot of people have come. they're not letting everyone in to the to the cemetery, which is why it's not absolutely packed but we haven't had any major issues on the ground in terms of confrontations with these radio forces. as her

body made its way from the old city, from jaffa gate off to the service in the chart to be later up there, which are very welcome for her family. is beyond the, the, the, the incomprehensible data that they've experienced that you did have, as we been documenting over the last couple of days. the constant pushback from the radio of course is on the ground whether it was entering her home on that 1st day on wednesday, telling the family to turn down palestinian patriotic songs, which is traditional during a morning condone in session like that. hugely provocative. yesterday again, outside the church when the family was receiving mourners police coming very aggressive. i've been here for years. sometimes the police are more mellows, it depends on who you deal with. but these, these guys who came aggressive, angry, got up to the yank down to very small posting and flags to see that to push us

around, pushed me around. totally mad to get back onto the curb. i was standing literally just down the curve shows you just the pedantic now. yes, i'm a foreign journalist. you can say there is almost like they treat people differently, but sometimes they don't. it depends on their mood. so it's been difficult for the family and having to experience this, the brother was summoned as he was way as he was getting given condolences to the israeli police to tell him what their rules were for the funeral procession was no flags, no chance, no walking procession what you saw happen earlier today in the courtyard of the hospital was that was these really clamping down on not wanting a flag on her coffin or not wanting there to be a walking procession. so even in her death, she's highlighting what the occupation means on a daily basis. i hear. so i think this and it was shocking. it was unprecedented. all of us couldn't believe the images we were seeing. the coffin almost fell to the

ground. but i think actually it highlighted exactly what policies will tell you the occupational stuff. it's just talk to mind in the morning in washington dc. it's not in the evening in quantum loan for early afternoon in western europe on, on the 1st western africa. many people shooting in right now will be, will be puzzled by what they're seeing here. this huge crowd of people who's told up to the funeral of a television job. so, i mean in this part of the world in the middle east, everyone knew guacamole. shaheen auckland, is, was not many people outside of the region will know. uh huh. unless they have connections to this part of the world, perhaps you could just, you could let everybody know just how special this person was, not only to us who worked with her, but to,

to the people with whom she connected through that tv screens. oh, hello. yes, i'm well she, if you, if you don't watch al jazeera back, if you did speak arabic, you won't be familiar with her, but she reported all and then she was, she is palestinian. she was the palestinian. she was documenting her own life really and know that the story here is a unique one of these radio occupation of what has happened to palestinian since 948. since 900. 67. what i'm so what she was was someone to palestinians in particular, but you were mentioning that she's had an effect across the globe. what we've witnessed, firsthand and since her dad, who was she, she was a very kind of generous, modest person. as a journalist, she cared, she empathize, sometimes this job especially being on camera, it can get to people's heads,

it becomes about them. sometimes it's important to remind correspondence of the story isn't about us. it's about the people that we have the privilege to report on . sometimes very difficult situations and she was, it was never about her, it was always about the people. i think it's the testament of what you've seen over the last few days, particularly also when her body was moved from them, caught in the la through the streets of the occupied west bank to columbia. you saw a massive turn out as well there for her. and i think this speaks to how genuine she was in terms of her reporting. like i told you earlier about this, but it stuck with me. there's gentlemen that we interviewed yesterday live on air. when he said she meant everything to me because she went into every household and she went into every household when, when the world wasn't watching, when it, when it's just the come, the daily occurrence when it's become the norm. and she tried and tried to again, every day report on things that have become the norm here. and she died reporting

and what has become the norm here. she didn't die in a major war. she didn't die during a major class. she didn't die during a major raid. no, she died documenting what happens pretty much on a daily basis. and i think that also specifically highlights the situation on the ground here. and again, many people saying she was reminding the world of the occupation that palestinians say, and field is no longer a priority to anyone. so, so this is what she meant. she was there a voice when they spelt muted, when they felt dull. monday's felt muzzled. she still carried that voice through so certainly, you know, it's a very sad day for people. and as i said, people have tried to when they offered condolences to us to the al jazeera family bursting into tears. one mad i know who works at the hotel. i'm staying and said, i heard about the news at 7 o'clock in the morning and i had to go for a walk. he said i had to clear my head. i went for a walk for 7 kilometers because i couldn't handle it. another gentleman i know said

that he said when he offered condolences, he said, i'm sorry for all of us. not just for the journalist notches for her family, but for all the palestinians. so this is how, how personally, and how directly she touched people and how important she was to them and stuff. i mean, if the doing such a marvelous job of keeping us up to speed with what's actually happening, i just wanted as well. just just if you could set the scene for us again for international view as to who don't know the geography of, of, of, of jerusalem, that alone occupied east, east jerusalem. where are you? where is all of this happening right now? we're all mount zion. this is occupied eastern some is just outside the walls of the old city. it is of course, jerusalem holy to the 3 abrahamic religions east jerusalem internationally recognized as occupied, taken in the war, $900.00 to $7.00. this is what palestinians see and want as

a capital of any future state. but again, you know, any future state when we say that adrian, these days, i mean, we need to be realistic. there haven't been any efforts at any kind of peace talks at any kind of scratching the surface of even what that would look like. but again, so here you have, this is a christian cemetery. it's just outside the walls of the old city of jaffa gate, where you saw my colleague him on con, reporting from earlier. and then you sort of have, of course, he's really border police on the ground. he's really police that control the area to control the road. sometimes when you have big adventure, they close the roads. they control everything. palestinians who live in east jerusalem have green id. so they don't have these really id as, let's say palestinian israelis have like from 948. they're also not like the aki powered west bank, let's say an under the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas. they're kind of in

limbo. so i think this also particularly for looking at east jerusalem, the palestinians who live here. she also gave them more of a voice of like, you know, the dis, services here. alas, a situation here, it's very difficult to describe to someone who hasn't been here, who hasn't lived it, who hasn't seen it because it's in everything. it's in the fabric of life. yeah, i'm sorry to interrupt you. i was talking to a friend of shootings yesterday, a colleague on another journalist who said that and she was in ramallah. and she said that she was desperate to attend the funeral today, but she couldn't. because she didn't have permission out that people watch around the world will think, well that's, that's really still. why can't someone move from one city to another within the same country. but that is, as you say, the reality of life for people who live on the occupation it, sir, this is a very, very valid question. absolutely. why aren't you all in the occupied west side?

you need a permit to cross these really checkpoints to come into. for example, there are and it's, it's tricky. there are holes in the fence. sometimes people manage across and work illegally in israel, but again, i'm seeing illegally. so basically the system that is in place or the, the system of occupation if you will, is one of checkpoints, is one of id is one of permits is one of being able to close the borders. for example, recently we had a jewish holiday of passover in the last few days of that, these really close the borders of the occupied west bank of garza to stop the movement of palestinians. they do this a fighting security concerns. they do it when there are security concerns on the ground. sometimes in the aftermath, we've had tensions here on the ground. adrian, we hadn't to talk to 30 days ago in the central city of a lot of these really close the borders of the occupied west bank and gaza off to that. so this is the control. there's a tap that they can control when it comes to idea. when, for example,

if you live in east jerusalem and you move out of east jerusalem, where you give up your property, you can no longer come back. you lose your id. so you have, there's so much stuff i can tell you about the nuances and the complications of the ground here. you also have, for example, subtle settler organizations who have made it a continuous campaign using citing laws and fighting realities. way back when decades back that israeli law supports trying to take over property that palestinians own palestinians don't have the right recourse to that kind of legal aid. and this is a reality that slowly is happening. things like shapes that are which we reported on extensively. you know, should even reported extensively in shapes shut off in occupied is true, some highlighting that issue when it comes to forest evictions settlement organization. so there's so many nuances in layers to this story that honestly speaking, i think the international communities become simply bored on because it's always the same story. but i think that tells you the reality as well as with the same

story. it continues and it's never been solved. and i think every time we report on a war here and i've said it before, i covered the gaza war in 2014, the, some media dining behind the camera. we've covered, you know, when it's really put at the metal detectors outside of the lock. so most combat in for the 1st time in 2017, we so tens of thousands of people come out on to the streets posting in because alexa was a red line if you don't address the underlying issues of this, of the occupation and solving the issues, then you're going to see this escalation, come and go, nothing is going to be solved. and this is something that sharina worked every day to highlight. so, i mean that's it. in a nutshell, it's pretty complicated, but maybe that gave you a sense of what things are like a

ah

a just wanted to take a moment to allow you to, to look at those pictures. it sort of feels so intimate, but it didn't really need to stay for. i'd have to be talking while you were watching those that so that's a colleague. so i will actually being laid to rest that cemetery and in a friends and family and some of our colleagues, some of our colleagues, i can see the around a graveside that terminated this step. very

intimate moments in a day that really has almost got out of out of control as far as have family and friends, a concert it sort of for a while. it was, it was to belong to everybody. so many people wanted to show their respects to shipping and, and to show how much she meant to them. but now with the family of friends, those closest to get a get that time to stand and reflect on to mourn for someone they truly loved. yes, i thank a little bit more of a moment, still not have privacy, obviously, but a lot of people have now left the cemetery. there is still you can see the intimate, close her circle around her gray, the grave of her parents, where she will be joining, joining them. i'm hearing

a lot of screaming in my ear agent, but yes, these are the final moments of, of sharina and her family and friends being able to say good bye. and then the question is, what happens? what happens is the next day, you know, are there going to be consequences? is there going to be accountability? people will tell you that here there is never accountability for when something like this happened to rain was extremely high profile, which is why it basically she guides. there's something i'd have to say on there screaming in my air, if you can switch it down because i can't, i can't think of but didn't she? she was someone who was an incredibly important to everyone. so this is a funeral that is of the palestinian people and as we've been reporting, not just of the palestinian people, but also of people around the world who grew up watching al jazeera arabic who feel very close to the story. i think. also interestingly, when you talk about people who are feeling abandoned,

they feel abandoned by the governments of countries that have made deals up with israel, even the arab countries. but i've, they tell me that they feel that the people are still with them, which is why i think also we've, you know, we see it directly on messages of condolences on our social media from across the spectrum across the world for her. she really had such a global reach when you were earlier reading out all the time zones. you know, if people are watching i so on, on social media as well, when these radio forces went into the hospital. so many tweets saying turn into al jazeera and watch what is happening. this is unbelievable. so hugely magic for the family. you know, if we take a step back and just take it as an intimate moment of a brother burying his sister of you know, a nice burying her aunt of you burying your best friend and watching images where her coffin is practically being dropped on the ground. because his rady forces are beating mourners and it's, it's, it's

a very difficult thing to comprehend. but again, i and people will tell you, it is not surprising. this is the reality of the occupation. these rallies knew that cameras are on this funeral. it's, it's been, it's been the highest profile palestinian journals i think safe to say that has been killed when you have reaction from the united nations, from all the ambassadors here from the americans, from the white house. and yet they still behaved in that way. so you know, what does that tell you? what, what sustained from in this is really that the last stage in, in what has been a, a, not just a sad day for those of us who worked and been new chevy in. but for massy day, i think for, for many, many people given up what, what has happened as to how i'm gonna leave you there for a moment or you've been so good and vendor talk to me for so long. and let's, let's bring back my one lashara, senior political analyst in london,

who crabs can pick up on, on that thought about, about what it, what a day this is. this has been as, as it begins to draw, to a close with this the most, the most intimate and, and perhaps peaceful moment of it. all right? yes, i was often, i was hoping that today we would mourn sharyn. and even though to morrow to scorn her killers. but there's no break. it seems in palestine. no one can ever take a break. not from the madness anyway. i think not only she was killed yesterday morning. her house rated in the afternoon. but they somehow wanted to ruin her funeral as well. it's just unbelievable. and why. 7 this persistence in humiliating,

in attacking, in aggressive why the sadism 10, is it really explicable why you kill someone in the morning and at that that house in the afternoon and why you attack a funeral because there's a flag or because people walk instead of picking a car is that really a reason? is that a justification to attack peaceful, more nurse a trying to do what any decent human being, what any decent community would do for one of its own? so the hope that today will only be 4 morning could not would not pass. there's always has to be some sort of a confrontation or another with these really security forces because that is the nature of the occupation. we always ask that question why?

well, of course that's who they are occupying is, should be ins. death to think, could it be? is it too much hope to imagine that the death of a high profile journalist, our colleague, our friend, could be a turning point for so that the people of, of, of the occupied territories. these of these oppressed people for, for this is ongoing situation. is that too much to, to hope my one do you think it seems like it is, but you know, medical happen and that is presumably the land of medicals. all right, so we can always hope for the medical, but also can always worked towards one as journalists. certainly this should not pass with impunity. clearly someone should be held responsible and i'm not talking about whoever pulled the trigger. so an answer to your question is, yes,

this could be something major, not that it's a catalyst for change, but that it doesn't reflect a moment where basically these ratings are losing their mind. because what i saw today, it's unthinkable. i haven't seen that before. not because it's, it's a huge massacre to sort that because it's incredibly bloody and, and it's like a, you know, a water, a nuclear. busy no, it's not because of any of that. it's just, there's something very mean about it. there's something that he said this to go by . there's something very crazy about it. and that's why i think you get the sense that journalism as well, or free speech as it were, what people coming together celebrating the life of someone mourning the death of someone drives the occupation crazy. otherwise,

there is no explanation why they would organize such a security force to attack before mourners today. when presumably, adrian, as we watched all of us this morning, the out of busy rearranging re invading a refugee camp called jeanine, had a few g camp that's been as such for 70 years since 1953. how did g camp of people who came from haifa decided proper today and they're in energies that if he g camp that sharlene cohort is back in 2002 when it was effect mercilessly. and it was covering yesterday. ready when she died, she was hoping to report the news. she became the news. unfortunately for her, she became the news. and yet we have to do what we have to do. we report the news. we continue watching on all of us, including all our colleagues in palestine who are trying to do their best and

basically reporting on the death of one of their own. because that's what we do. you know, we, we fight to fight. we find that battles we, we must fight whether we win them in the end or not. it's just a whole other thing. what are the chances to think of someone this time this time at least being held accountable for the death of an innocent i tell you what i i heard you speaking to a number of experts. i haven't heard. you just speak to the former prosecutor of international criminal court, and clearly it, this was going to be a long way forward. but what is clear to me is that already israel has lost its case in the court of public opinion. there is no doubt about that. and as we've heard from all reporters, israel, palestine,

this is also clear for these rating is not on the for dose out there outside israel, palestine and not one is of course in data world. but generally, israel is losing its case and the court to public opinion, just as or may be why it's losing its mind. there's, there needs to keep the appearances of a democracy. that's why it should not looked like the killer of journalists. but here we are watching the funeral of all one of all our colleagues that was clearly evidently killed by israel. and we need no special investigation for that because our own colleagues witnessed it by themselves. and it is, and is there any human rights organizations been down on the map mapping out what exactly happened yesterday morning? but once again, as i'd been saying. but it be. thirdly, the last $40.00. that is that it's not just about who pulled the trigger. adrian

and i think our viewers around the world understand that as we watch the funeral. now, we know that the responsibility for the death of sharing a block rests with those who took the decision to invade jeanine and the genie refugee coke. with those who divide the policies with those who gave orders to the journalists out give orders to the soldiers, to kill, to do it, or to kill innocent people as they have been. and this is not a one time thing. this has happened before. there's a trend or visual to violence against your notice, but also against innocent palestinians for they jerusalem mourns it's daughter. jerusalem and her majesty mourned her daughter, shutting and says, find that goodbye. but does, violence continues and janine were shirty and tried to tell the world about the

suffering of that very particular refugee. the suffering goes on, the side goes on. it's like as if we are living in a story not reporting one as if we are living in a tragedy. not reporting on one. but i guess that is our destiny. is to be part of our world that world and our colleagues like shorty and treat in particular way, reporting on a treasure day. but they became that tragedy themselves. how senior political analyst call in the shower that live with them for a moment. with this funeral ceremony a little closer to his computer. well they had him out a

lot. okay, well we're watching this. let's bring it in our colleague nita abraham, who is in ramallah, you'll be orange sharon's office there and they all to 0 bureau is that right? yes. and it's hard to be in children's office while she's not here. i was just taking a look at her office and i came across her calendar. this is, these are the days where she was or in jerusalem. these are the days when she was in jeanine. most of the calendar talks about her traveling to janine. in fact,

just one day before she was killed, we posted the picture of our team in hebron in the south of the occupied west bank and she commented on it. i am covering, and filming, and janine, why don't you come in that takes our memories back to the time when she was with us covering and jenny, in the past few weeks, we were moving together, trying to stay in safe places. she was known as someone who would he, she understood the language of the field. she was someone who would pay attention to the safety of the crew before everything else. i also was taking a look at her notebook. she was writing everything on the old fashioned way because she's a veteran journalist who uses her pen and pencil and notebook to write the story. but she has recently finished the diploma in new media. she was proudly showing us

over the past few months how she can add it a full video using the mobile phone only. she was someone who was eager to learn. she had a full life ahead of her. so time for us to be here in the office. it's filled by the way with her pictures. not only here the whole office. every time i look at it and like i look at the posters, i just can't comprehend that she is not with us. it's. it's just, it's not sinking in someone who were always smiling full of life, profess. oh, um then someone i looked up for as a young, a palestinian. she was covering, she was in every house. and when i started working with her, it was an honor. allison. i was gonna ask you, needed, i'm sorry, sorry to interrupt you. i was going to ask you what, what should be in meant to you as, as sir. a journalist m m m young is not exactly of you. you're not just

starting out on, on the, on your career, you were a few years under your belt right now, but i mean, she was all she was, was she one of the inspirations? she was an inspiration for you becoming a journalist. what did she mean to you and other young journalists in palestine? i remember when we took a course in university and our professor has asked us, why did you choose journalism? and for many of us, it was a calling read. yeah, for me, i didn't think about it so much. i knew that i grew up listening to news reading newspapers. i'd like telling stories. so i wanted to be went, but then my colleagues pointed out that we wanted to be journalists because of shit in a broccoli because of giovanni godaddy because of the journalist that we saw telling the story day in day out during the 2nd palestinian and to follow an uprising, this is a time when palestinians felt that no one was listening for that a voice, and here comes al jazeera with its correspondence all across the west bank.

extensive coverage. 247. so should, should lean. anna jazeera members and colleagues were part of our experiences. they were with us day in and day out. so subconsciously we wanted to become journalists like them shit in was calm. she always had a wise tune. even when everything was boiling around her, she meant she kept her calm. she kept her composure, she kept her professional integrity in a place that is filled with a lot of political parties. she could even even been affiliated with one she was not. i remembered and, and in this could be a secret. i remember one of the candidates that was running for the presidential election. sorry, the general election that never took place. he called her, he wanted her to be on his list and she apologized. she could have been a politician, she could have been affiliated,

but she wanted to be closer to the people. and i think that's why many journalists looked up to her, including myself. we always so her as someone who's close to the people humbled, always looked for the human element of story. and i think over the next few weeks in years we will understand how much of a loss we've into it. made up many things. and did let's sir. good garza, we haven't been there all over the past few hours. so our corresponded humid outside or is there, you know, i was with the reaction there to today's about ah, yes, adrian, hearing gaza, people are basically in front of their televisions and screens watching sharina funeral. we arrived here in this site just couple of hours in front of this

small public coffee shop. we suddenly heard people shouting and snapping, and we went in quickly. they were watching sharon's funeral on al jazeera and we saw it the scenes of the israeli forces attack on the funeral on the mourners. and the. * could almost fully, the reaction was the reaction, sorry, was very strong by the people. they were very much sad and we were all shocked by what we sold. but basically people today of what they have told us is that they're staying at home because they want to watch the funeral. they can't go to the west bank, they can't reach jerusalem. they can't be part of serene who they love and respect and be part of her funeral and more in her right there. so only could do is watch her funeral on tv. we spoke to some people inside this small public coffee

shop about what, what the felt when the so these attacks would be felt when the so the scene on her funeral. most of the replied in their reply that we've read for so long that this is a usual behavior by the occupation forces towards any palestinian, whether this palestinian was dead or alive, whether this palestinian or is it no one person is a normal person, is the respected person or not, this, is there a systematic punitive behavior towards palestinian that keeps it going on. another person told me this shall always go. why? because there isn't one international de terrance that the, at the occupation has been facing throughout all its crime in history with the

palestinian or against the palestinian people. this is pretty much how the people hearing garza feel about today's watching. today's funeral of serene. i was actually coming to the site because i wanted this mural here. if the camera can show it this mural here and that was painted for she read it's about 20 meters. as you can see it, it was about 20 meters are wide and 4 meters high. this mural was painted white in just a regular are artists, street artists, people who are not known really. and they came here. they painted this mural 1st serene. they said that this is the least they can do to show how much she read meant to them down here. adrian, it says the writing in arabic says shaheed that and how clear cause she read

a box or are the monitor of truth. she read abarc law. it's got the big, it's got to the door or the up, the dome of the rope, which is representing jerusalem. the homeland of shaheen and what they could are the people here are other people here, as you can see. also, if the camera can bring more people here. now here, if you can face the camera here a little bit, these are just some of the people are since, oh, we've been here. we've been watching people come taking pictures with this a neural here with serene picture. when we ask them, why do you come and take pictures here? they said this, the list we can do. we can never met serene. we have never met her in person. we can never go and meet her, but at least we can take a remembrance picture for city about you know, many thanks. did to human side. there are reporting live from garza. this is al

jazeera, you're watching our special coverage of the funeral of our friend and colleague how murdered colleague shaheen, ucla, the voice and daughter of palestine, who was shot in the head by israeli forces on wednesday morning while on assignment and janine and the occupied south west bank, let's bring in our senior political analyst, my one bushera. again, who's been watching the events of the past 3 or 4 hours from our office in london. our studio in london are so the dramatic day, i think it's fairly say it's safe to say that it was pretty dramatic drawing to the to a much more peaceful and measured close moment. yes, absolutely. i think there is no, there is no break from the craziness,

cold the occupation clearly it seeps into every aspects of life including saying good bye to our loved ones. it's really, you know, i mean i, i expect a lot of things and hardly anything shocks. many more, but to be honest, this was shocking. the images from jerusalem and when the funeral started, as you and i said once and again basically after being speechless, looking at these so hot, breaking images of israeli forces said this stickly, attacking violently peaceful mourners, carrying a casket of their loved one image is being transmitted to the rest of the world and clearly expressing once and again have that there is no more logic to, to the policies of these really government. the same policies that lead to the

killing of our, our colleague with the st. very responsibility for effecting at house for attacking have funeral. you would think that it is enough for one day to have killed a journalist. no, but they have to be an attack on their household and they have to be attack on their funeral. as this, there is no break from the craziness and the violence. but anyway, yes, he continues, we were hoping as we more on our had a death to celebrate her life. okay. but once again, of course, it was all disrupted by the craziness and a violence of it on my way. i just put a point out that at the graveside there, our colleague jabar baterri is speaking. she herself, of course, was western, was assaulted by israeli forces while covering,

well, just doing her job in the occupied territories. i lost here, just list, let's listen in from us. she speaking right now. what is this soldiers with weapons? very, very near to they are mona's, they want to prevent them even from being sad. the diploma was really upset with this much see in the and model. and no one can deny that this is a big crime. and no one can deny that only what preventing the murderers from taking part in the funeral is also a big shame. and i know that that, that one of the listen i'll call calling gabby them to about a baterri speaking about the she was speaking a few moments ago. you probably saw her eye in the pictures that she was the lady

holding the microphone. no one mattress is still with us and she was our friend and, and our colleague. and she was known to millions of course, through a world of it we, we have to remember that that should in this case is not an isolated. why not? is it uh huh. i know it's not there been several killings and they were dozens of injuries on journal of journalists not to be those and jerusalem, where sharin was born and live. and clearly this is a systematic policy in order to silence and also try to report to those who tried to share the sufferings of people under military occupation of israel as a, as a democracy is a democracy for jews. but it's certainly not for the palestinian. it certainly i totally italian regime when it comes to the palestinians and hence silencing them

is part and parcel of that policy. democracy for the jews, but authoritarian towards the and that way june, this gets in the way of these really operated system journalists become an enemy of sort. so why is i tried to keep up the appearances of being a democracy over here? mean got i cleared and wants to be part of western democracies reporting, w. its crimes in occupied territories. certainly blood, these it's images. and hence it starts treating journalists with the same sadism. it treats palestinians under occupation, but there is no escape from that. i was mentioning earlier that i just finished the book. i mean one of one of the leading israeli security genitals, i me,

i alone. what he talks about janine. but he talks about his policies in so pulled, combating terrorism through the killing of terrorist. as he puts it and his conclusion after decades of being at the top of the security apparatus of israel, is that israel has failed. that is, or it has failed miserably. that so called combating terrorism only lead to more violence. that, that the actual recognition. but by the season that writes including an joselet is mad at this point in time. and shaheen had to pay the price for that. magnus, is there a repeating the same policies again and again, expecting different results? but there is no other result. now we have sharina and had people shedding the land with israel and its people and clearly there is no. busy other way forward, what peace and security for all equally with what we're not saying got coming and

what we're seeing is more violence. sheep on when meaningless violence against even german this high. this is the moment we're living today, but yet again, i must say i must synthesize again and again that while we mourn her death, we must honor her and celebrate her life. because it was a generous life, giving one to an out of world. because that's who she spoke to the out of world and in the world when it comes to palestine, it comes to 24 hour news. it's not like it is in the west, and i know with what i'm talking now to a lot of people out there in the west and rest of the world. when i say what it comes to put aside in data world. but it's not only for the old to watch the news on tv. it's for every household and every member of the household to watch what happens in palestine. and that's why should he was, is a member of each and every at our family. because for them,

we know this wasn't something that you do in pastime. this was and remains to be an obsession. but a stand remains to be the top of the agenda of almost 90 plus percent of the arab households. and should he and i had colleagues have came to them through the airwaves, to talk to them about the suffering of palestinians. and that's why she became unlike on all of them, she became an icon because she reported the suffering of what people had people. but she did it professionally, even though she was reporting on how to beloved, tortured in the homeland. she was able to do. it was incredible credibility that it's a rare case. what is he someone for over a quarter of a century being able to be so measured. so unflinchingly factual reporting defects . but that's how you maintain credibility, by that consistency that persistency in looking for the truth for the facts on the

ground as sharon was doing what had why there with her mind, with her vest with her microphone with her camera, she was trying to report what was happening in the ground. she was trying to report the news. but she became the news. unfortunately, that only international pressure is going to bring about change. sharon's mother had had death, has shown a life on as you say, the suffering of the palestinian people that plates the oppression. what happens to morrow, the will will, the, will just start to look the other way again, was we know the world has decided to at least die. there are the important part of it to focus in ukraine. and while it is certainly award the cause and our war, the issue that must be focused on. but a scene is wonder why

a war that has taking place. the last 75 days takes precedence over a war that has been taken on for 74 years. why they, after decades of occupation, over half a century of it are forgotten. there's so much indifference towards them. while a war that started only 75 years or $75.00 days ago becomes the center of all attention, forgetting everything else, whether it is found a sign or yeah, man or celia or libby or whatever. what have you, in terms of those tragedies that we see are taking place all over the place. but certainly that palestinians have a good case to make when it comes to double standard double standards. that is really part of the daily life of palestinians. because while other problems evolve and continue and then are resolved, but it's 10 years remain on the repressive regime one that shouldn't try to report

on one that we hope her death wouldn't be i turning point than the way people are on the world. see it, people are on the other, won't see that. hopefully some of those will normalize relations with his or some of those who support is there a law part aid that might be finally embarrassed? might be finally shamed into at least taking a critical look at a certain policies by the israeli government. but i'm not only hurting palestinians, but also hurting israelis. because i'm sure the jews who live in israel do not want to live under fred de long. i live in a, an a continuous situation of war. i'm truly would want to live in peace alone with neighbors. but it is the israeli government that is blocking die from happening. the same israeli government that gave the orders to shoot in the west bank. the

same is a government that is responsible for the killing of our colleague, for the invasion of her house, for the raid on her home and for the attack on her funeral to day. oh, just been handed a piece of paper here said a un press release. i mean from the united nations human rights organization. it says with you and experts condemn journalists, killing a mid rising west bank violence authorities. it says, i have an obligation not to harm journalists and to protect them from home on the international humanitarian law. and it's national human rights law. the killing of should be in a book actually, who was clearly performing her duties as a journalist may constitute a war crime. it says, so there we go. it's not just journalists, al jazeera and fellow journalists saying that this is

a war crime. now the u. n. a saying it to there. absolutely. and as you know, there's more and more in quoting now, globally speaking, here in europe, but also from other capitals. we just hurt to the, even the japanese condemning. and these are kind of feel far away. nation. but clearly there's growing interest in what happened and a crime that's been committed in the way it was committed. and as i was saying earlier, you know, and end of the day we are all saw jazeera and you know, shouldn't be underestimated and know, you know, a lot of blood does not cheap and know we cannot be intimidated. i know our colleagues are not going to be silence and when we decided that we're going to be sending, dispatching new teams to palestine, our colleagues were rushing to do with their job to finish what surely in started.

so we're not intimidated where it cannot be. silence, and we can be louder than the sound of their misses and thanks was an end of the day we need to do what we must and the weird respect that and the world on those that i and what he here now from the united nations and other international organizations is the fact that yes, they 2 are ready to stand out for the rights of germany. it's not necessarily a winter move case 100 percent as of tomorrow, but clearly. hi shaheen paid with law and order whole another journalist to feed her house yet because i got that more ac safety. doing their own job. la. and i had moment i got about a minute and a ha, ha ha ha. before we a moment, we count. all huh. what's the, it's been

a little bit just for ask you about the pressure that's being applied by the u. s. a. on israel to a submitted. it is an independent investigation in too shabby ins. death after israel said the judge and i'm the chairman was, was probably hit by gunfire from, from someone other than israeli forces. eye witness reports though, and a video that we've seen contradict that claim a. now israel saying that it is going to carry out ballistic tests on the why force of several of its, of its own soldiers. what of, what are we to make a will we, will we get justice is what i'm, what i'm trying to ask in about 30 seconds. you've got to answer that. i just think that things have changed since yesterday. i think the pressure of the public opinion, the pressure of our network and our colleagues in our a support is around the world who support and respect to the right of journalist do the job. i think it's changing slightly. the position of the american government

they've moved from israel, can do an investigation to we are ready to join in. i'm not sure that would help a lot, but i think there is some change it not a major change over the last 24 hours. so one will be talking again in the next few minutes for a moment there monday, thanks deed. so i'll just cirrus senior political analyst, my one bouchard other speaking live from london. ah, the owner should be in our play turns to hold on a coffin almost to the ground as is ready forces attack. ah, no, i agree. and so i think this is al jazeera, alive from doha, also coming up people with right from the house, others were arrested. and sort of shocking seeing.
