New Evidence Reveals Israeli and US Governments' Involvement in Shireen Abu Akleh's Killing
A months-long investigation into the death of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh has finally unearthed new evidence that points to a cover-up by both the Israeli and US governments. The documentary sheds light on the events surrounding her killing in May 2022 while she was reporting in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank.
The investigation reveals that the Israeli sniper who pulled the trigger was identified through painstaking research. What is more disturbing is how the close relationship between Israel and the US government frustrated efforts to obtain justice at the time, leading to a smokescreen of accountability.
The documentary features interviews with key figures including an Israeli former national security adviser, a former deputy assistant US secretary of state for Israeli-Palestinian affairs, Israeli soldiers, Shireen's colleagues and family. These testimonies challenge the official versions of events surrounding her death and highlight issues of press freedom and geopolitical dynamics that are particularly relevant given the recent killing of Al Jazeera colleagues in Gaza.
The revelation highlights the deep-seated relationship between Israel and the US government that has led to a failure to hold perpetrators accountable. The fact that it took months for new evidence to surface raises questions about how many lives have been lost due to the lack of transparency and accountability.
Shireen Abu Akleh's death serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by journalists who dare to report on conflict zones. Her family's fight for justice is a testament to her bravery and unwavering commitment to truth-telling, despite being cut short in a tragic and senseless act of violence.

just saw this news and I'm getting the feels all over again... like we're stuck in some never-ending nightmare. New evidence says Israeli & US govts were involved in Shireen Abu Akleh's killing? 
how many more lives have to be lost because of our silence? 
it's like, what even is the point of having free press if governments can just cover up for their own people? 
i need to get myself one ASAP... anyway back to this news... i'm kinda shocked that it took months for new evidence to come out like isn't that how investigations usually work? or am i just not getting it lol also what's the deal with all these killings in jenin lately? it seems so peaceful and green 
I'm not saying the Israeli or US governments are entirely innocent here... I mean, come on, they're two powerful nations with a lot of influence 
. Shireen was reporting live from the ground, doing her job, and then suddenly she's shot down without any clear reason 
. I'm not buying all this "she was in the line of fire" stuff 
. We need to see some real accountability here 
, but maybe we should also be looking at our own complicity as a global community 
. Can't just point fingers and expect everyone else to get blamed 
This is just heartbreaking... thinking about Shireen Abu Akleh's life being cut short is devastating enough, but the fact that it was a setup for a cover-up by governments on both sides of the conflict? 
It's just not okay. I mean, who gets killed and then covered up like this? 
It's a massive betrayal of trust. The lack of transparency and accountability from these governments is appalling. We need to know the truth about what really happened to Shireen. 
. I'm still trying to process how such an important investigation took months to come out. And the fact that it was a cover-up by both Israel and the US gov 
... it's just not right. Remember when we used to have decent press freedom here?
