11:36 am
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 the investigation that parents dependent. we also were able to meet with the doesn't the members of congress and representatives and senators who joined the call for us investigation and also express their disappointments in the way the us 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 us to investigate israel's murder palestinian american john
11:37 am
issuing at play. so there is a lot of support within the us for finding out what happened exactly to sharina when you came away from those meetings in dc. 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, after leaving the head with so many allies over 80 members of congress have joined our call for us investigation that lead to accountability including representative andrew carson justice pushing act and senator of dan hall and continue with 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
11:38 am
senator ref. senator is representative and that shows us administration have to do the maximum. so knowing that we have that support is definitely encouraging and hope from i'm also looking up more support online. have a look here at my laptop honoring shearing. apple clay. you keep pop, you tried to keep up with all the honors that have been showered posthumously on your aunt isn't was for media excellence, academic excellence in journalism and media. the scene 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 street, a street named after your auntie. i am 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
11:39 am
like? you know, it was very god 1st to me because i never thought that i would be in the thought that i will be advocate for the killing of my on 1st it wasn't, it was definitely the right thing to do. and it's something that not only be calling for accountability and but it's a way to keep her memory alive and make sure that her legs d 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 are exceptional legacy. so for sure, i will continue our fight for justice. our fight for accountability because this means that ensure other journalist, no other palestinian are killed and that there is accountability and there is just
11:40 am
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. mean, i 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 are abraham is a senior out, a z o, a journalist, and he, she is talking about the impact assurance killing since shitty as 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,
11:41 am
evacuated from their own homes in east jerusalem and shift july 11 day or so on gaza. there were protests about restrictions on past. indians are going to press the lock them off during ramadan. we've seen increasing numbers of hosting is being killed. there's huge ho, home and commitment to making sure that this does become a turning point to try and make sure that, that what happened is not repeated. what does it like for palestinian janice 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 palestinian journeys 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
11:42 am
what you're jenny. so you can tell us where your beats are, what you do. hire 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 stories as well. so from the west bank, from to palestinian reality, get to have you welcome, bye. hello. so lovely to have a we always appreciate your insight on the stream. remind everybody you'll beat what you day. 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 who you are, what you do. it's nice to be here again. i met in better with an i'm the senior palestine correspondent for mondor lives. i was thinking,
11:43 am
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 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 outa, who spoke to us a little bit earlier. she makes a really interesting point. i'd love you to react to it. he she has festival. i think that getting close to don't to sheila is meant to lent him it in, but it didn't enjoy. it is still not gover. anybody can give you was it is not even listed ovulation in with ben or even nga. and so, so, so, but as it is, jordan, that is the door don't come in and a violation against civilian that could be committed by is the army during gets ablation. i think that given go, sheena walker is aggression against the human rights and is within the freedom of
11:44 am
the breast. in remedies, 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 should be in a box. and i've always thought because she was well known and i thought she was protected and 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 a rest barring 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
11:45 am
insisting on covering more. no, i feel like our voice is important in the matter, and that's why we continue to do this work despite everything that happens around the marianne i'm really glad you asked that. it's hard. it's really difficult. i remember, you know, one of the 1st assignments i was to do was to go back and cover me, 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 pass as my, you know, but 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
11:46 am
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 because i know many of these journalists, so the fact that she constantly went the way that palestinian community peak of her is one which really remind you of journalistic integrity that everyone constantly speaks about. you know, the duty as a journalist to remain co and co, objectivity is to really show the story. and yeah, it's scary. but nonetheless, someone has to do a so you kind of tell yourself that and you tell yourself that by to buying that. it's a strategy of inflicting fear and noticed that she and oscar was not just targeted for being a journalist. she was targeted for also being a pilot,
11:47 am
any journalist and she can, any honestly decide that. and i think as a journalist, especially 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, i have to agree very strongly with marianne's. the last point there, i think, to me and to many other journalists and palestine, perhaps the killing of city was a very sobering moment. that reminded us that regardless, no matter who you are, how c mural or a great a for journalist you are, you might be the most famous face on tv. but there's really occupation to really is really parts of resume to the really colonial violence. you're about us to mean no matter what you define yourself, no matter what your job, your duty is. this is something that all jernace palace and duty allow them to
11:48 am
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 nick of the moment the person is going to be a patterson in to the soldier to the rifle, doesn't matter what vest you're wearing. i susan jerusalem, i see the west bank. you cannot distinguish between between a journalist and palestinian, your target as long as your palestinian, as long as you are living in this space and covering the stories of the people we're always targets. and i think this is, this is what makes the, the work of a journalist patterson difficult. we can distinguish between being posted and journalist. you can't be neutral in this situation. you can't be sympathetic with the language. you have to report on the people that you come from and this is something god was sober and moment to be honest years. so i totally agree with july . i just would like to add something like for me because i work in the field
11:49 am
and i have so many colleagues who work in the field as well. photographers. and for the journalist, they have been telling me that they really forces targets journalists. and one of my colleagues once told me that if dr. before he was shot in the face, he heard israeli soldiers or israeli commanders telling the soldiers to start with a journal the before the processors. so targeting journalist something we have known as douglas, and we know that we're not protected and maybe on that, it's really important to know that bank is journalists 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
11:50 am
a ball play. you had the photo general of your head the i had a not one of the national newspapers of israel blood, his pistol and shoot out a palestinian. and this is a photo journalist that supposed to be a journalist, building up journalist, the config. ready, right. but it shows you also the mesh ment of these railey regime, 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 offer c and the role of the u. s. that claims to support freedom of speech that claims to be the world police of democracy and it's
11:51 am
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 backgrounds and nationalities. it's not going to be reserved for palestinians. and i think that's what shitting story should also tell us. it's the black house. marina, which let me show this to i out is you know, this, but i'm going to 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 as, according to the pastor ne, posting the ministry of information. look at these names, these daughters, these sons, these moms, these fathers, these journalists, right? how has israel's approach to journalism changed in the last 100 days,
11:52 am
july? in the last 100 days, of course, we saw that or lent las campaign by the israelis and the defiance to continue and carry on with the violence despite the witness with should in killing. and in a way they want us to feel this, this violence, they want us to feel the suppression. and i think the thing that's what most disturbed me is how often we heard of people being killed, engineering and novice and elsewhere. and the fact when the assault on gaza started a couple of weeks ago with the unprovoked and senseless violence against casa and right in the weekend after the assassination and killing of human ability and nobliss, and other of his others of his comrades at gene goes the week we witnessed a very heavy and relentless campaign of censorship, of on piracy and voices on social media mainly on instagram and on facebook. it was systematic. anyone who's reporting on the killings of passing nobliss or the
11:53 am
kidding, the palestinian children, and garza was being censored. their post and stories were taking down and the accounts were being taken off the web. that was a very disturbing thing, where i felt as ratings would be shooting and killing over most famous journalists in the street and on a jesus later. the social media company is the major companies met companies or censoring and suppressing our voice completely on the virtual platform. so we're being killed in the streets and we've been silenced virtually. we're in this corner, we resist 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 their resume. it's very, very difficult moment for us reporting from palestine on what's going on. she gently sketch. i think this is really important. one of the extraordinary things that sharina has allowed us to do is highlight palestinian journalists trying to tell their stories. 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
11:54 am
about that you are working on? marry me stock way, actually known as someone that's not on. i think it's really important to come back to the community as a journalist and as, as alice, any journalist, i think twice them 3 time before i write a word. because anything can be used against you as an assignment in buddies, rightly regime. 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,
11:55 am
that's that i'm and so you aren't just risking shonda st. erased in writing stories of people. so when i'm writing the story of it, but i human never to see it was not even 18 yet, but we're hailing him as this resistance fighter. and as, as commander which he was, which he rightfully was because this circumstance is dictated that he rides up to that, that we risked, you know, being imprisoned. 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 nab best, where they killed it with him because he was barely 20 and they were released later. but not everyone has, that's 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
11:56 am
word apartheid. you had deutsche in bed. let say 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, man, we're 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 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 system that you care about right now. what will that story? they just briefly i'll be very brief but so smart, so much bigger story. what i feel is that exists tensional for,
11:57 am
for that there to everything that is palestinian. i see a war on our identity everywhere in jerusalem, 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. and if shut down and rated 7, palestinian non governmental organizations and human rights organizations, ones that are monitoring the killing of policy and children for example, and making sure and shooting. they are reporting on the human rights abuses in the territories. so the issues are doing all the account to suppress, not only our resistance already valid them literature instance. we are suppressing us globally, the suppressing our media and it also supp targeting our civil society. now there is a war in palestinian identity and that's what concerns me right now. i'm gonna leave you with one last voice and that is the voice of ferris. i really we've heard from
11:58 am
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 you a virtual box of tissues and so much empathy. thank you for being when i say today, we really appreciate it. thanks for watching. i see you next time. ah. witnessed the ocean witnesses lane. witness difference is witness, change. witness, happiness. witness not witness. sunlight, witness de la. witness. last witness. charity witness, confusion. witness. clarity. witnessed family. i'm witness. friends. witness the
