And killing journalists is going on

In this video an American general explains how politicians at the Pentagon made decisions to invade seven countries-Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan and Iran(oil rich countries) within a five-year span without any reasons. When the military questioned their motives, their response was,-"We have a strong military, so we can overthrow governments."

This one minute video is enough to expose how America, Europe and Israel the so called 'bastion of freedom and human rights' destroy nations to fulfil their evil imperialistic goals.

The audience is laughing while he proudly talks about the genocides that america and its allies have committed.Millions of people died and millions more are facing poverty, starvation, and homelessness even to this day but at least they got a good laugh out of it.

The site of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh’s killing in Jenin has been bulldozed and her shrine desecrated, in an unexplained early-morning operation on 26 October.

A surfaced road running between houses has been reduced to huge boulders of broken concrete, and earth dug to over half a meters depth. Vehicles passed up and down the lane. One day after, even walking amid the smashed rocks would be a challenge. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has joined its affiliate, the Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate (PJS) in condemning this act of vandalism and recalls on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh.

The road, Balat al-Shuhada’ Street, in the Jabriyat neighbourhood of Jenin is thought to have been ploughed up by heavy civil engineering vehicles at approximately 3 am on 27 October. Locals state that these were operated by members of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). Paintings of Abu Akleh, and tributes left on the spot where she was shot have beed destroyed.

Nasser Abu Bakr, PJS president said: “This is a monstrous act of destruction. Shireen’s family and friends have found some solace visiting the place where she was shot down, and placing tributes. This wanton act of vandalism is surely revenge for the report just issued by the UN that states that Israeli forces ‘wilfully or recklessly killed Abu Akleh’. It underlines the need for her case to the investigated by the International Criminal Court ICC, with which the IFJ has already lodged a complaint”.

IFJ General Secretary, Anthony Bellanger said: “I have visited this site myself and know firsthand how important it had become to those who mourn Shireen’s loss. It is hard to see this destruction as anything other than a cruel act of vengeance, of a kind that can only exacerbate tensions in Palestine. The sooner the ICC gives this case the attention it deserves, the better”.

The Cradle | An investigative documentary by Zeteo has revealed the identity of the Israeli sniper who murdered iconic Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022: 22-year-old Captain Alon Sacagiu of the sniper platoon in the Haruv Patrol, Kfir Brigade.

Though there was never any accountability for her killing, her blood was ultimately avenged: Sacagiu was killed in a fierce ambush carried out by the Jenin Brigade in June 2024 involving two improvised explosive devices.

Glory to the Jenin Brigade who avenged her, death to all IOF, death to israel, free Palestine

My art block is usually caused by something that I'm struggling to process. And if I can't draw it or talk about it, it stays with me until it no longer bothers me.

It is difficult to feel helpless in anything I do to show support. Sometimes art feels frivoulous and paltry in the face of so much death and destruction of innocent lives. Yet these are the faces that run over my eyes every night. And there's so many more. So putting them in my pocket sketchbook allows me to carry them close as well. I suppose by coping, I can maybe reach someone new or at least start a line of questions.

I'll be doing one for men and boys as well, then scour the internet for people and voices of sudan, congo, tigray, etc. They don't get enough love and news coverage as it is. It's important to remember that they're not just faces in a screen. They're people, some of them my age, that either gave their lives, lost their lives, or live on a razor's edge.

I have them to thank for giving me the courage to remain outspoken. My only regret is that i can't draw these fast enough, but there's no better time to get creative.

from Jewish Voice for Peace, 11/May/2024:

Two years ago today, Shireen Abu Akleh, renowned Palestinian American journalist, was assassinated by an Israeli soldier while reporting for Al Jazeera on Israel’s ongoing attacks in Jenin. She was wearing her bulletproof vest that clearly marked her as “Press.” The following day, Israeli police brutally attacked mourners and pallbearers carrying her casket at her funeral.

To date, over 122 Palestinian journalists and media workers have been murdered by the Israeli military in Gaza since the beginning of the Israeli government’s vicious genocide of Palestinians seven months ago. To Shireen’s death and every murder of a journalist since, we say no more.

The murder of Shireen is part of a larger pattern of the Israeli state eliminating Palestinian journalists, the people who speak truth to power and reveal Israel’s crimes to the world.

As we remember Shireen, we rededicate ourselves toward her mission of exposing the truth about the Israeli military’s violence. As anti-Zionist Jews, we mourn Shireen’s loss and join Palestinians and the international community in demanding not just accountability for her death, but justice. We vow to continue to speak truth to power, to remember and say her name until Palestine is free, from the river to the sea.

The murder of Shireen is part of a larger pattern of the Israeli state eliminating Palestinian journalists, the people who speak truth to power and reveal Israel’s crimes to the world. Shireen dedicated her life to exposing Israeli military violence in a hostile media landscape that reports Israel’s lies as facts and erases Palestinians’ truths — including the truth of her own assassination.

Rest in power, Shireen. May your memory be for a revolution.

Two years ago, Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, and one of the purest souls alive, was murdered by Israeli forces while she was reporting in Jenin in the occupied West Bank. A couple of days later they attacked her funeral, violated her coffin, and beat up the mourners.

Initially, then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett falsely accused Palestinian fighters of shooting her – an allegation that was quickly disproven by independent reports. Eventually, Israel admitted that its soldiers killed Shireen and dismissed the incident as an accident, refusing to open a criminal investigation.

Immediately after Shireen’s killing, the administration of US President Joe Biden called for accountability, saying that “those responsible for Shireen’s killing should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law” (Shireen was a dual American citizen). By September 2022, the US dropped its demand that the perpetrators be prosecuted.

Accountability, officials said, could instead be accomplished by Israel changing its rules of engagement — a demand that was openly rejected by Israeli leaders. Washington has also rejected calls for an independent probe into the incident, arguing that Israel has functioning institutions capable of investigating the case.

The truth is, Israel almost never investigates, let alone prosecutes its own soldiers for abuses and should not be trusted to investigate itself. Only one Israeli soldier in Israel’s history has ever been charged for murder on the job, and that was the soldier who killed British photographer and activist Tom Hurndall. He only spent 6 years in jail.

The lack of accountability in Shireen’s killing helped pave the way for the rampant Israeli slaughter taking place in Gaza today, where over 120 journalists have already been killed.

Diana Buttu speaks of Wael Dahdouh and the realities of journalism in the Gaza Strip

Reminder that Wael Dahdouh lost many members of his family today in a quite possibly targeted Israeli air strike. His wife, 2 of his children, and his grandson were murdered.

Al Jazeera journalists are despised by Israel and it isn't the first time the Apartheid state has targeted them. They also bombed an building housing AJ offices in 2021 and murdered journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022.

Palestinian Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh

Pencils on A3 gray-toned Canson paper. 2025.

Shireen Abu Akleh was a Palestinian-American news correspondent and journalist known for her coverage of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, particularly for Al Jazeera.

She was shot while reporting on an Israeli military raid in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on May 11, 2022.

Despite wearing a helmet and a vest clearly marking her as press, Abu Akleh was shot in the head, indicating that a crime was committed. Even more distressing, Israel has still not been held accountable for her assassination.

This Portrait was drawn to honor her memory.
