Bambino 24,321 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 But won't charge the soldier who killed her! The Israel Defense Forces have admitted for the first time that there is a “high possibility” Palestinian-American Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot and killed by Israeli fire while covering an Israeli military operation in Jenin in May, the IDF announced Monday. “[I]t appears that it is not possible to unequivocally determine the source of the gunfire which hit and killed Ms. Abu Akleh. However, there is a high possibility that Ms. Abu Akleh was accidentally hit by IDF gunfire fired toward suspects identified as armed Palestinian gunmen during an exchange of fire,” the IDF said in a statement. But the Israeli military does not intend to pursue criminal charges or prosecutions of any of the soldiers involved, IDF’s Military Advocate General’s Office said Monday in a separate statement. “After a comprehensive examination of the incident, and based on all the findings presented, the Military Advocate General determined that under the circumstances of the incident, despite the dire result – the death of Ms. Abu Akleh and Mr. Samudi’s injury – there was no suspicion of a criminal offense that warrants the opening of an MPCID investigation,” the statement said. Abu Akleh’s producer Ali al-Samoudi was wounded in the incident. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/05/middleeast/idf-shireen-abu-akleh-investigation-intl/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mike 2,771 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I dont get it . “there was no suspicion that a bullet was fired deliberately at anyone identified as a civilian and in particular at anyone identified as a journalist” but the bullet was precisely shot to someone who had PRESS on them in the front and back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartySick 172,975 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I don't understand. Best case scenario, you've got a soldier who was wreckless and killed an unarmed person who was literally labeled "press" How does that not warrant an investigation and disciplinary action? Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraLove 1,281 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Well. Right on brand and WBK. Of course there will be no accountability for war crimes perpetrated by an American Client State. I’ll hold any other language for this situation. They deserved better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
