10:18 am
it's important to keep talking about the number. not only because she may palestinians be heard and seen, but also because by demanding justice for shaheen, there are demanding justice for all the people she reported on, and her long and rich carrier, him al jazeera, the occupied west bank, or sharing nice lena blocked her, joins us now from san francisco, lena, it's really good to see you. it's been 100 days since you murder. we talked very about her professional life and her legacy, but 100 days on, on a, on a personal level. how are you feeling? how, how is the family mocking the day? thank you for having me. you know, it's been a 100 days and i still wake up and ask myself if i'm in a nightmare, if, if this is dream 100 days have been very difficult for me and my family trying to
10:19 am
comprehend this insurmountable love. but we continue to fight for justice, continue to fight for accountability and trying to keep shooting legacy on her memory alive. because ly honoring her legacy means ensuring that no other journal the know other than the lives are lost than killed by these really mission. for the most importantly, no other family should have to endure with our family has been going through for the past 100 years. that's why we continue to call for accountability and continue our fight for justice or shooting who talk us through how that fight for justice has been. what does full accountability mean for you? accountability for me and my family is holding the soldier who created cheating and responsible holding the entire system that continues to perpetuate this kind of
10:20 am
violence. and the chain of command that ordered the killing of shitty and well, we are pursuing justice and accountability through any means available for us. and we have been encouraged by the support of 80 members of congress that we, that we received, that we saw their efforts and calling for us investigation into the murder of the us citizens. including representative andrew carson, the justice bullshitting act, and sen them. holland efforts in the senate, all of these have given us some hope that there will be justice for shooting no matter what. no matter how the road is, we will not relent. we will continue to push for accountability. i remember when you were at capitol hill and speaking with some of those embers of congress,
10:21 am
one of them said, you know, if there was anywhere else in the world, the soldier and the person who ordered that soldier would be held accountable. but because they are in israeli uniforms, they will not be held accountable. i mean, what does that say to you? do you think that is true? do you feel like there will be some accountability as you go down the road? of course that statement is true because because shooting, shooting was a palestinian american. so the fact that there is palestinian before america has made the entire entire road towards accountability even more difficult. if shooting was killed somewhere else, there would have been an investigation from day one. there would have been justice from day one, but the double standard, the stark, specially that the u. s. continue to preach about human rights press freedom, democracy. but when it comes to america to palestinian american citizen,

10:23 am
we continue to talk about her, we continue to remember her and recite our stories and memories with judy and i continue to talk with her friends on daily basis and share stories with them and share memories. you know, it's been a 100 days, but every single day we still talk about judy and everyone talks about shooting, shooting continues to be everywhere. and. ready talking about her and honoring her legacy means honoring her exceptional and everlasting legacy. so we will continue our, our effort towards making sure that her legacy is everlasting. absolutely, i'm very sorry for your loss, lena. thank you for joining us. and i bought a charade for having me. thank you. and we, here at al jazeera, also continue to demand full accountability for sharina. matter of the head of the world health organization has said the humanitarian situation and ethiopia is take
