. but investigation or not yet hasn't dim the impact about blood. but she was born hours after sharina block lay was killed by israeli soldiers after shrines death. there was never any doubt what her parents wanted to kill the new born serene abu acclaim. ron was born at midday on may. the 11th let a hidden thicker st. wallclear, we called her should in a black lane order to honor her. i was in the hospital the night before. before i entered the operation room, my husband told me she had been killed. and he wanted to call our daughter that i was shocked and sad should im with guess we were going to court our baby elena, but we didn't hesitate to change the name at 2 weeks old. she's already seen israeli settlers attack a village while she won't remember this attack. as likely she will see many incursions like this in her life. the kind of witness that sharina the journalist would seek out and report on her. and she was doing just that in jeanine when she

was shot in the head on may 11th by israeli soldiers. ah, on the day the funeral israeli forces storm the procession and started to beat mourners, causing pul, barrister nearly drop her casket. that didn't stop thousands of palestinians from marching through occupied east jerusalem to take part in a funeral and bearing. hello. this is bruce at university, the most prestigious educational institution in palestine. this is where sharin helped the next generation of journalists. her losses at the camp is hard. the university is announced a number of ways to honor and remember her, including the sharing of walkley scholarship. one of her best female journalist sharon is an example that needs to remain a life for the students in order to continue learning from and is inspiring from from garza to the occupied west bank across palestine. shrines

that were with her. so it's a very difficult to see how this would have been anything other than what people are saying is which was a targeted killing. but the investigation hasn't happened. we keep talking about this. how is there a media network? as i said that it once that investigation take place that's falling on deaf, israeli is indeed there is partial mounting from the u. s. state default new say they want an independent israeli investigation, but that's even closing constellation, remember sharina barkley was actually an american citizen. if this had happened to an american citizen, any other parts of the world, it's like a, b, b, f, b. i would be here on the ground here though, says atalla ha, is a greek orthodox, archbishop jeanine, and he hopes that condemnation of shillings death will lead to long term change. he has it, adam, whether it was killing sharina buckley here, or the attack on her funeral. i hope reaction will be limited to condemnations and announcements. i hope they move beyond that to question and hold the occupation.
