10:34 pm
a look back of what's happened in the past 100 days. let's start on may. the 11th. that was when out as he was showing up, actually was shot and killed by. it's rainy sniper fire, in jeanine the following month, june, united nations concluded that israel was behind the shooting. in july, the u. s. state department prob said that the bullets origin was inconclusive. and that is really gum fi was unintentional. and then this month out 0 and our atlas family continued to cough an independent investigation and justice for sure. in joining us now. issues. nice, lena, apple. i play in a welcome back to the stream. i want to ask you about a trip that you and your family made to washington dc. we have some pictures of that trip. what was the purpose? what did you get out of that trip? hi, i've thank you so much for having me. again. we went to d. c as a family. well,
10:35 pm
president biden was visiting power right before our trip and he eat with our family even though you was 10 minutes away from where shooting grew up, where she was born, where she was raised. kim, so as a family we had to go to to d. c to call for justice. it was very frustrating that we are the ones as a family and going after the u. s. administration when i should have them the other way around. we went to d. c till to meet with president biden. however, that does not. that does not work out. we ended up meeting with secretary lincoln. we want to get answers, we want to understand what are their next steps moving forward. we expressed our demands and our concern to the secretary, and we continue to call for us to lead to investigation that parents dependent.
10:36 pm
we also were able to meet with a dozen the members of congress and representatives and senators who joined the call for us investigation. and also express their disappointments in the way the u . s. administration has been handling of one of their own citizens. you know, i've got an example of that right here on my laptop. this is representative andre carlson. he announced the justice for serene act is a bill required the u. s. to investigate israel's murder palestinian american john issuing at play. so there is a lot of support within the us for finding out what happened exactly to serene when you came away from those meetings in d. c. did you feel helpful? did you feel that something was going to happen? of course i was filled with hope. i was very encouraged to be honest,
10:37 pm
after leaving the head with so many allies, you know, over 80 members of congress have joined our call for us investigation that lead to accountability, including representative andrew carson justice pushed in act and sen than haul and continuous efforts in the senate calling for answers to a lot of questions they have raised. so it is clear that we are not shooting some in the only one was disappointed and who's calling for investigation. but it's also senator ref. senator is representative and that shows us administration have to do the math. so knowing that we have that support is definitely encouraging. and hopefully i'm also looking at more support online have a look here at my laptop honoring shearing. abu clay, you keep pump,
10:38 pm
will you try to keep up with all the honors that have been showered posthumously on your aunt? isn't the ward for media excellence, academic excellence in journalism and media? the soon as i play award, i know there's more than one. it goes on and on and on. there's a whole list. it's like movie credits at the end of a film. and behind me, even in this very studio, we have the steering apple clay street, a street named after your auntie. i wondering what it is like, and this happens to many people and families who are thrust into a tragedy that they then become an activist. you are now an activist. what is that like? you know, it was very the 1st to me because i never thought that i would be in the thought that i will be advocate for the tilling of my on 1st it was the book, but it was definitely directing to do. and it's something that not only be calling
10:39 pm
for accountability and but it's a way to keep her memory alive and make sure that her legs be, is honored. and all the, all the awards ceremony is honoring shooting. life is a testament to, to her work and to her exceptional to or exceptional legacy. so for sure, i will continue our fight for justice. our fight for accountability because this means that ensure other journalist nor their palestinian are killed and that there is accountability. and there is justice continuing to speak truth to power and amplifying the palestinians and their conspiracy amounts were for freedom like shootings reporting used to do to honor her exception of a legacy. nina,
10:40 pm
thank you so much. i really appreciate you being here with us on the stream and wish you and your family every success as you search for accountability and justice for serene. moving on now. our abraham is a senior out, a z o, a journalist, and he's, she's talking about the impact assurance killing since shitty atlas death, it's been a reflection of how difficult it is for pasting is to live the daily lives. since may 2021. there were protests about residents were being moved, evacuated from their own homes in east jerusalem and shift july 11 day assault on gaza. there were protests about restrictions on past. unions are going to press the lock m. oscar during ramadan. we've seen increasing numbers and pasting is being killed. there is huge, ho,
10:41 pm
home and commitment to making sure that this does become a turning point to try and make sure that what happened is not repeated. what does it like for palestinian genius working in the occupied territories? now that one of the most famous palestinian journalists has been slain. that is the question that we're asking is we're moving on with a show to day. we have 3 posting jellies with us. some you will recognize and one will be a new face for you. hi out. welcome july. i am welcome back. nice to have all of you here. i've told him what your generally so you can tell us where your beats are, what you do, a higher festival, please introduce yourself trusting audience. hi, thank you for having me tonight. my name is high up and i'm a journalist in the city of hebron. i bright future stories and produced their so
10:42 pm
stories as well. so from the west bank from to palestinian reality get to have you welcome. i hello. so lovely to have a we always appreciate your insight on the stream. remind everybody you'll be what you do. hi, i'm jealous. i'm very happy to be back here again. i'm a writer and freelance journalist space in jerusalem. ah, yeah. thanks robin me. and marian always get to see you on the screen. these tell everybody he you of what you day. it's nice to be here again. i met him, but with an i'm the senior palestine correspondent for mondor lives. i was thinking, yes about how you go about your work. now. we're still talking about showing up at clay, talking about the work that she's done and then you will continue with your work in journalism and in writing. but i'm going to go for how are you doing that now, how are you continuing by rehab outta who spoke to us a little bit earlier. she makes a really interesting point. i'd love you to react to it. he,
10:43 pm
she is festival. i think that getting close to john, as you know, mama is meant to estimate then, but it didn't. journalists do not cover any breaking give you was it is not even a little bit ation in west bank or even an article so. but if it is just the door, don't come in and a violation against civilian that would be committed by is the army during gets ablation. i think that giving or she, you know, wanna, is aggression against the human rights and it's still within the freedom of the breast in the middle east. i'm going to ask you all to be super honest higher. are you scared going to work now? yes, of course, i mean the violations against policy in general, they have been going on even before the killing of shooting and i've always thought because she was well known and i thought she was protected and
10:44 pm
now that she was killed and she was not an exception and she was not protected, i feel like each one of us is subjected to killing and to all kinds of human rights violations, including you know, like arrest and borrowing from covering or borrowing from travelling or other kinds of violations. so it does make me afraid, but it also makes me more like i want to cover more now i am insisting on covering more. no, i feel like our voice is important matters and that's why we continue to do this work despite everything that happens around that. marianne i'm really glad you asked that. it's hard. it's really difficult. i remember, you know,
10:45 pm
one of the 1st assignments i was to do was to go back and cover chinese, you know, part of the story of where sitting was murdered and you know, you think twice than 3 times and 4 times. and i have my press. i have my you know, what supposed to protect me from the bullets, but what protect the problem and emboldened bolger being told to shoot to kill. and that's kind of the policy that's been happening here. but yeah, shitty and lives on not just by sitting in a block place, she earned that title earned that label by being involved by going to places that many were afraid to go. many international journalist here very cheap from the new york times to reuters refuse to go to these locations. and i know that's because i know many of these journalists, so the fact that she constantly went the way that palestinian community peak of her
10:46 pm
is one which really remind you of journalistic integrity that everyone constantly speaks about. you know, the duty as a journalist to remain, quote, unquote, objectivity is to really show the story. and yet it's scary. but nonetheless, someone has to do a so you kind of tell yourself that. and you tell yourself that by the buying the it's a strategy of inflicting fear. and notice that she and oscar was not just targeted for being a journalist. she was targeted for also being a pilot, any journalist and she can, any honestly, defied that. and i think as a journalist, specially local journalists that are very familiar with the context, it's a constant state of defiance. i think that's really what's happening here and we can't afford otherwise. july. indeed,
10:47 pm
i have to agree very strongly with marianne's last point there. i think to me and to many other journalists and palestine, perhaps the killing of cities was a very sobering moment. that reminded us that regardless, no matter who you are, how senior or, or a great a for journalist you are, you might be the most famous face on tv. but still, there's really occupation to really is really parts of resume to the really colonial violence. you're a palestinian, no matter what you define yourself, no matter what your job your duty is. this is something that old journalist and paula same duty allows them to think of very strongly when there is a crack down when there is violence against palestinians. and the journalist is going to report the journalist will always feel that no matter what in the neck of the moment, the person is going to be a palace in, in to the soldier to the rifle. doesn't matter what vest you're wearing. i see this in jerusalem, i see the west bank. you cannot distinguish between between
10:48 pm
a journalist and palestinian. you had a target as long as you're palestinian, as long as you're living in this space and covering the stories of the people were always targets. and i think this is, this is what makes the, the work of a journalist palace and difficult. we can distinguish between being posted and journalist. you can't be huge in this situation. you can't be sympathetic with the language you have to port on the people that you come from and this is something was sober and moment to be honest. so i totally agree with love. i just would like to add something like for me because i work in the field and i have so many colleagues who work in the field as well. photographers, and for journalists, they have been telling me that they really forces targets journalists. and one of my colleagues once told me that if right before he was shot in the face
10:49 pm
he heard israeli soldiers or israeli commanders telling the soldiers to start with agenda the before the processors. so targeting on the list something we have known as douglas and we know that we're not protected. and maybe that's really important to know that being the journalist and palestine, you're not just against one of the most technologically advanced, brutal military armies in the world. just in that week, so followed the assassination of shit in a ball play. you had the photo general of your head that i had and not one of the national newspapers of israel below his pistol and shoot out a palestinian. and this is a photo journalist that supposed to be a journalist holding up journalists that configured you right. but it shows you also the mesh ment of these railey regime,
10:50 pm
that there is no differentiation between settler and military commander. increasingly we're seeing the arming of israeli settlers that are defined as civilians by the israeli official discourse. and that is only to alleviate accountability from systemically, shooting and carrying palestinians. so when it comes to journalists, let us also look at that, that double standard that hawker c and the role of the u. s. that lanes to support freedom of speech that claims to be the world police of democracy and it's complete double standard. it's completely leaving palestinians, and americans and international journalists, unprotected to mar, you'll see israeli settlers shooting journalists from all backs and the backgrounds and nationalities. it's not going to be reserved the pilot studies. and i think that's what shitting story should also tell us not. it's the black house,
10:51 pm
marina. wish them show this to i out is you know, this, but i'm gonna share this with an international audience. the journalist killed by israeli forces at least 45 journeys have been killed by 2040 since 2000 at least. that's according to the pastor ne palestinian ministry of information. look at these names, these daughters, these sums, these moms, these fathers, these journalists, right. how has israel's approach to journalism changed in the last 100 days, july? so in the last 100 is of course we saw the relentless campaign by the israelis and the defiance to continue and carry on with the violence. despite what we witnessed with should in skilling and in a way they want us to feel that this, this violence, they want us to feel the suppression. and i think the thing that's what most
10:52 pm
disturbed me is how often we've heard of people being killed, engineer and novice and elsewhere. and the fact when the assault on garza started a couple of weeks ago with the unprovoked and senseless violence against garza and right in the weekend after the assassination and killing of abraham. and then we'll see a nobliss and other others of his comrades. during that week we witnessed a very heavy and relentless campaign of censorship, of all policy and voices on social media mainly on instagram and on facebook or systematic. anyone who's reporting on the killings of persons, nobliss or the kings of palestinian children in garza was being censored, their post and stories were taking down and their accounts were being taken off the web. that was a very disturbing thing where i felt that israelis would be shooting and killing our most famous journalists in the streets. an honored years later, the social media company is the major companies, meta companies are censoring and suppressing our voice completely on the virtual
10:53 pm
platform. so were being killed in the streets and we being silenced virtually. we were in this corner, we were just struggling to find a place to actually scream and yell and say, we want to tell our story without being suppressed or killed. and without facing the violence of as really regime, it's a very, very difficult woman for us reporting from palestine on what's going on. so she janice, guess, i think this is really important. one of the extraordinary things that she really has allowed us to do is highlight palestinian journalist trying to tell their story is the important stories. i would spend a little bit of time asking you, what are the stories that we should be paying attention to that you are talking about that you are working on? marry him, you start way actually known as someone that's not on. i think it's really important to come back to the community and as
10:54 pm
a journalist and as as the palestinian journalist, i think twice them 3 time before i write a word. because anything can be used against you as an assignment by these rightly, regina so you are not lane, facing the chance of being shot in the street. and the, and the american government who i am a citizen of the american, the state at that is a colonial state. but technically the government is supposed to be responsible for me and we see that it's not. but i know that if anything happens to me, that's that i'm and so you aren't just risking been shot. the st. juris thing. writing stories of people. so when i'm writing the story of it, but i haven't never to see who has not even 18 yet. but we're handling him as this resistance fighter. and as this commander which he was, which he rightfully was because the circumstance is dictated that he rides up to
10:55 pm
that, that we risked, you know, being in person, you have so many palestinian journalists just yesterday last night to palestinian journalists were detained by israeli forces. and arrayed that went from my law to nav best, where they killed it with him because he was barely 20 a and they were released later. but not everyone is as fortunate. and i think this is the biggest hurdle and this is what we keep saying. you have people like cnn that gave out policy orders to their journalists to not say the word apartheid. you had deutsche of betel. it said that you can't say certain words like israeli colonialism. and this is a book tree of journalistic integrity. this is a butchery of the intelligence of the international community that has a right no. but i band were just people. i am one person sitting was one person and we should never expect of any journalist or person to do more than that. so i
10:56 pm
really think we need to start protecting each other and turn us as well. it is becoming increasingly the most one of the more dangerous professions in the world. and that's because we allow it to happen. so i think it needs let shitty and be the precursor and the precedent for holding accountability to laugh as one story that you want, i internationally has to pay attention to. that is the story that you care about right now. what will that story be just briefly? i'll be very brief, but so smart so much bigger story. what they feel is that exists tensional or threats there to everything that is palestinian. i see a war on our identity everywhere in jerusalem, the west back and elsewhere. and this has been ongoing for, for the past year in a very relentless way. and only last night the israelis have come to them a lot like as if it doesn't even matter if shut down and rated 7,
10:57 pm
palestinian non governmental organizations and human rights organizations. ones that are monitoring the killing of palestinian children for example, and making sure and shooting. they are reporting on the human rights abuses in the territories. so that shingles are doing all the account to suppress, not only our resistance already valid and legitimate distance there, suppressing us globally, the suppressing our media. and it also supp targeting our civil society. there is a war in palestinian identity and that's what concerns me right now. i'm gonna give you with one last voice and that is the voice of ferris. i really we've heard from our journalists about the challenges that they're facing as parents, palestinian janice. this is ferris told us earlier that the international community has to come together to help palestinian journeys work with it is not a situation of impunity in nevada and where they never hire jalal mary. m. i'm send
10:58 pm
