Israeli Forces Brutally Attack Mourners Of Murdered Al Jazeera Journalist

Israeli soldiers attacked and brutalized Palestinian mourners attending the funeral procession of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was shot dead by Israeli Defense Forces earlier this week. The soldiers were apparently targeting the pallbearers of Abu Akleh’s casket and were attacking anyone close to her casket as it moved through the crowd of mourners.

“Israeli soldiers and Palestinians clashed on Friday during the funeral of slain Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. “As her coffin reached the Qalandia crossing between Ramallah and Jerusalem, clashes broke out between Palestinians and Israeli troops, Channel 13 News reported,” according to The Times of Israel. “No injuries or arrests were reported. In footage broadcast by Al Jazeera, some masked Palestinians could be seen raising assault weapons and firing in the air.” The video shows Israeli soldiers pushing back and beating Palestinians. Gunfire can be heard, though it’s unclear who fired the shots. Those carrying the casket can be seen temporarily losing control of it. Akleh was shot and killed on Wednesday while covering clashes between the Israeli Defense Forces and Palestinian gunmen at the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank. Al Jazeera Media Network condemned Akleh’s death and blamed Israel though it remains unclear who shot her. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Israel is “completely responsible” for Akleh’s death, while Israel has said it is investigating the matter and has sought Palestinian cooperation, only to be rebuffed.”

Crooked NYPD Cops BRUTALIZE Elderly Woman Just For Filming Them

NYPD officers were recorded slamming a 61-year-old grandmother to the ground during an arrest inside a Brooklyn police station just as she was beginning to film the altercation on her phone. The woman, Patricia Rodney, was at the station to pick up a copy of a police report she filed and when the officers didn’t help, she began to film them, which prompted the officers to break her arm in the process of the arrest.

“New York Police Department officers threw a screaming, 61-year-old grandmother to the ground, breaking her arm in the process of an arrest captured on video inside a police station in Brooklyn. Her alleged crime: filming the police. The body camera video, first reported on by the local news blog Hell Gate, shows Patricia Rodney surrounded by cops before one of them grabs her, takes her to the ground, and handcuffs her. Rodney, a diabetic, was visiting the police station on Dec. 2, 2020, to pick up a copy of a police report she’d filed about a missing glucometer, as required by her insurance provider. But instead of helping Rodney, NYPD officers turned her away. When she became frustrated and pointed her phone camera toward them, cops grabbed her as she shrieked for help.”

Israeli Defense Forces Target & Kill Palestinian-American Al Jazeera Journalist

Veteran Palestinian-American Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by the Israeli Defense Forces in the West Bank during her assignment covering Israeli raids in the Jenin refugee camp. Israel disputes that she was killed on purpose by Israeli gunfire, even though multiple eyewitnesses claim that there was no fighting before Abu Akleh and her crew arrived as well as her wearing an obviously marked press vest.

“Israeli forces killed a Palestinian American journalist for the Al Jazeera news network in the West Bank early Wednesday, according to the network and the Palestinian Health Ministry. Israeli officials said the journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh, was killed in an exchange of gunfire but said they had not determined who fired the fatal shot. Abu Akleh, 51, a longtime Al Jazeera correspondent and a revered figure on Arab television screens, was shot in the neck while covering Israeli raids in the Jenin refugee camp, according to witness accounts. In a statement, Al Jazeera accused Israeli forces of killing Abu Akleh “in cold blood” and said she had been “clearly wearing a press jacket that identifies her as a journalist.” In interviews, multiple eyewitnesses — including two journalists who were standing next to Abu Akleh — disputed Israeli assertions that she was killed during crossfire, saying there was no fighting in the area just before Abu Akleh was shot.”

Pro-Death Republican Compares Women To Turtles To Argue Against Abortion Rights

Republican Senator Steve Daines gave a speech on the Senate floor advocating for abortion to be restricted by comparing women to sea turtles and eagles. Daines argued that because we have laws that protect turtle and eagle eggs, the same logic must be applied to women and abortion rights since the animal egg laws protect the lives of unborn animals. But these lawmakers think there’s no issue with an increased amount of gun homicides in literally every region of the country.

“Republican Steve Daines of Montana took to the floor of the US Senate on Tuesday to compare women to sea turtles and eagles in a speech advocating for the restriction of abortion rights. “Why do we have laws in place that protect the eggs of a sea turtle or the eggs of eagles?” Mr Daines said. “Because when you destroy an egg, you’re killing a pre-born baby sea turtle or a pre-born baby eagle. Yet when it comes to a pre-born human baby rather than a sea turtle, that baby will be stripped of all protections in all 50 states under the Democrats’ bill we will be voting on tomorrow.” The rhetorical gambit to compare people who have babies to animals comes in advance of Wednesday’s scheduled vote on the Women’s Health Protection Act — a bill that would protect abortion rights across the country in advance of the US Supreme Court’s expected ruling reversing Roe v Wade next month.”
