It’s so disgusting.
Agreed.
This is unacceptable!!!!
🇮🇱drip 🥶
It is an absolute disgrace! They were not rioters. They were mourners.
@Gaz the jaz I said because if the "Lazlo" part. It's center/eastern European so he's probably a Zionist native to that region
@Michael Robinson please explain your point here?
@Leonardo Contreras Lol I think he changed his name to make it sound more Italian now, what a troll lol.
She was murdered and this is how they then treat the mourners. Absolute disgrace.
@A Peppermint Candy
The corpse was examined, the bullet and the weapon were identified, it was the same weapon israeli forces were using (M16).
The reason is officially unknown, aljazeera considers it an assassination, and you should also ask yourself why would Palestinians shoot one of their heroes.
Palestinians didn't steal the coffin, look your facts up, the family and the hospital were on board.
The funeral wasn't made in hurry, it was more than two freaking days after the incident and again, it was after the examination was done.
Shireen never loved war and if you had watched her even once you would know that.
Palestinians never asked for publicity, Israel killed a journalist, attacked her funeral, and assaulted the coffin bearers, it's disgusting that that's all the publicity all of this got, compared to other stuff.
And finally, before questioning other peoples intelligence and biases, question yours.
Whatever her job role, she was first and foremost a human being that deserved to be laid to rest in a peaceful way.
Crowd's of Mourners Carrying her casket and being treated with such violence along the procession was highly disrespectful towards the dead.
Totally disgusted.
@Jhon Murphy I think you have missunderstood my words !
I was questioning Vito's stance in his belief of what Israel used for an excuse.
As for your statement about Israel doing " a terrible job", that suggests you are dissapointed that their lie wasn't a better one !
Israel said the closest gunman from Palestine was blocks away and still managed to shoot this woman, V's there was an Israeli sniper witnessed (by more than one witness) a couple of hundred meters away in direct firing line !!!
Palestine leader Mahmoud Abbas called for an "independent investigation",
Israel want to conduct a joint investigation !
A joint investigation where either stste could manipulate evidence versus an independant investigation where the eveidence is presented to both sides and the international community !
@VITO LAZLO most of the guns you see around in the Jenin refugee camps are guns you could buy at gun stores in US and modify. They arent an army but a cohesion of undergound organizations that can fade out if choose. I am sure the Israelis know their leaders but the point is, that aint going to happen unless the Israelis occupy West Bank and dissolve PA and impose a strict martial law. So far they only try to manage the Palestinian issue.
RIP. She risked her life for her work . Paid the ultimate price. She’s inspiration for journalism around the world.
Craig is the man, go Craig, Go Craig.
@Seyid0Riza She died a shaheeda, masehiah.
At the first place what is the Israeli police doing at the funeral ?Can they just leave people alone !
World’s Longest Military Occupation
Just horrible and disrespectful .
May god bless her and her family and all journalists in this increasingly darkening climate
Ameen
Sono d’accordo con te, povera giornalista, che riposi in pace.🙏
Israeli forces: we've investigated ourselves and determined that we've done nothing wrong.
What did u expect
@Leo Sath Exactly man! that’s what I’m saying. No need to divide them as Muslims and Christians. They are all Palestinians. They would even live with Jews peacefully but unfortunately now they’re trying to make it their only state forcefully with military control.
@Ahamed Aqsath History shows Jews andArabs live together in the Land peacefully before 1948 so why not live together again?
@Leo Sath they`re all united as palestinians. they dont care about their race. They were all mourning a palestinian being dead. Its israel who divides muslim,jews,chiristian. Not them palestinians .They even welcomed the jews into their homes when they fleed from german nazis-rule.
@Ninja-Gaming Thinking life is less pointless than it _actually_ is, is indeed a real sign of self-delusion - "The God Delusion", as one renowned contemporary critic/biologist would and _did_ put it!
This is just so numbing... I mean, totally unthinkable & uncalled for...
Just wow!!!
Tragic. Unspeakable disrespect.
@A Peppermint Candy what other news? Where can it be read?
@A Peppermint Candy what is your source for that information?
Wouldn't be the first time the IDF killed an American citizen. I remember Rachel Corrie who was killed in 2003. I also remember Tristan Anderson who was shot in the head in 2009 and permanently paralyzed in a hospital bed. Sickening.
@Copernico Felinis agreed
There are accounts that are in direct violation yet are still up.
Only leaves the fact they must work for google in some capacity or are government agents.
@Yodee Basher yes I know, but I have seen this censorship going on for a long time and I can assure that innocent messages can get removed as well (I had a message deleted when I only mentioned pictures of atoms and Bose-Einstein condensate. The opacity of the process and the fact that the original posters keep seeing their comment is what is scary. This is gaslighting at its finest form.
@Copernico Felinis the responses were most likely removed because of the content
My heart-felt condolences go out to the family and friend's of this remarkable woman. May her spirit live on ,she will be remembered !
Wow. Way to go Israel, didn't think you could mess this up anymore than you already did.
@VITO LAZLO 🤣
@Orbital Potato Ok, let that be an example to others.
@VITO LAZLO *we investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing*
How can a people who suffered so much, inflict this suffering on others. I just can't comprehend it. I just trust there are ordinary Israeli men and women who say "not in my name". Shabat Shalom. Peace to all.
@SAM that's the same analogy I make, glad I'm not the only one thinking like that. Hope you have a nice day.
@No One Well said! We shouldn’t confuse Jews with Israeli politics!
I actually wrote a similar response to someone else. As a Muslim, I agree with everything you wrote.
If Jews are to be blamed for Israel’s actions, then my fellow Muslims shouldn’t be surprised when we’re also blamed for the vile actions of ISIS/Taliban etc.
@Mona Lisa it does, and I know that aswell
Thank you Channel 4 for having the decency to have a headline that was based on fact…unlike the BBC
This is disgusting and disgraceful.
After 1967, I think Israel believed that it would only take 10-20 years to move all Palestinians out of Israel.
Isreal not only killed the journalist but also didn't let the Palestinian mourn for her. Israel's cruelty and inhumanity is epic. So discusting
This thing, it's gonna turn out real bad for the palistinians. The americans will find the truth that, a palistinian fired the shots. The world will wake up to you guys and it is gonna be like. Can the true Palistinian please stand up.
@VITO LAZLO good and bad in every nation race and religon ,.but the yahoodis has the upper hand in this case . that woman couldn't even rest in peace on the day of her funeral and that has open the eyes of the world .
@Isaiah 19: 25 Yahoodis(Jewish) and Zionist is 2 different thing
I have a jewish friend and she say that the State Of Israel broke multiple Torah Law
God bless her soul it is shocking how can they attack a dead person They r criminals
Very disrespectful and so unhuman shame
I could not hold back the tears when I saw his death.
Her dear her..
Her
@drubliinz Yes, of course we are all angry and sad at the same time because killing a human being is a crime that does not justify
She was a Christian, too. Well, fundamentalist American Christians, any thoughts on this atrocity?
@elvo west
Agree
@elvo west
White people ?
Unbelievably appalling that even killing wasn't enough for them.
She must have been a magnificent journalist and truth-teller.
How do you, as a person, dressed head to toe all in black body armour and brutally beating people carrying a coffin at a funeral - how do you look at yourself and think "yes, I am the goodie in this situation"
@joana maten the deceased journalist is Christian btw
Christians stay away from this conflict, let Muslims and Jews fight.
And some news outlets still call this "clashes"
Those Israeli police were beating the pallbearers of #ShireenAbuAkleh's coffin with batons, the pallbearers. #FreePalestine
@darthvaper So the video was cut to make it look like the police were beating pallbearers, but actually they didn’t?
@darthvaper You just want to hear and see what you want so I can't argue with you because I only discuss with humans
@darthvaper 😢😢😢😢🙂
Once power becomes tyrannical, the power inevitably collapses
This is not the full video, this video doesn't show how they were beating the mourners. That's shame .they are savages
@Edward Valivonis I think you were watching another video.
What are the military doing in the hospital?
When did you see mourners throw military with stone while they where holding the coffin?
There's no even one stone on the ground, just water bottles.
And why did they kill her !!!
I have watched a video on an American chanel, I don't remember it, they were completely distort the truth .
can I know where are you from?
@amal khaled let's see all together, stones and sticks are used against police before police attacks them
@Edward Valivonis oh I forget they don't have the right to defend themselves.
Please just try to see what happened from the beginning, thanks
They throwed stones at police
Why were they even so close to the funeral? Obviously, this would be a bad idea.
@VITO LAZLO Why do you care how much I care?
Why do care so much? lier
@Retor Gere tell me, do the palistinians still use their people as human shield?
@VITO LAZLO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 don’t even try you can’t hide the crimes of the State of brutality any more.
Shame on them
Heart breaking.. A type of people who's ancestors went through so much and yet this is exactly what they are doing to others. If their ancestors are looking down at them they would be ashamed!! #standwithpalestine!!
Imagine if this kind of things happened in Syria, Iran or Russia. What would the West say?
@Only God Knows she was Palestinian-American and Greek Catholic
Finally a headline which doesn't uses the word "clash". It was a clear and unprovoked attack - Thanks Channel 4 news👍🏻
Unfortunately this happens every other day in the Palestine however it doesn’t get much coverage.
And the world watches this? This is insane. Israel need to be held accountable!!!
Can't stop my tears....
She is a good person
Did you ever cry for MLK John Lennon? They were also good. Good people are killed by bad people. Reality. Good people cannot kill.
Thanks to this one and only English news outlet that reports on the truth
Also Ayman at msnbc did an amazing reporting ❤️
Shame on Israel and the so called world leaders for not speaking out against Israel! Double standard.
speaking out against Israel ?? Do you think is enough to change somethin ?? c'mon man you should be smart
It is hard to imagine a more untruthful account off this atrocity. Even after the Israeli forces attacked the people carrying the coffin, the crowd refused to react to this provocation. The whole world has seen who are the bullies and who the bullied.
Disgraceful, will Israel every be held accountable for its human rights abuses?
We tried to bring them ro justice but it all ended in 1945
Where are the human rights? It seems that they are on leave from work
Never ! They have the powerful’s under there thumb
Let's hope so , although I'm not holding my breath, they been at it for over 70 year's!
Shame on USA & West silence
@Lee Kelly If the martyr was an Israeli, the issue would have been discussed in the Security Council under Chapter VII and the file would be referred to the International Criminal Court
@Lee Kelly cnn didn’t report it on youtube, they’re very silent, then again wasn’t head of bbc jewish and so is head of cnn jewish 😂😂😂
The report is by Channel 4 in the UK, it’s also reported on the BBC, CNN, and other Western news channels, stop creating divisions you muppet..
Violence broke,,... I love this passive tense. I feel so bad on behalf of you, it such a shame... You don't even think that she was just like you a journalist, if you allow this to happen to her, it will eventually be allowed by others to happen to you. Really shameful
The Israeli occupation is trying to desecrate and humiliate Shireen's body, and it was not satisfied with executing her for the first time
@A Peppermint Candy First god ordered the jews who lived three thousand years ago to settle in Palestine. It was their test. Second, god sent other messengers after Moses like he did before him and they had new commandments and laws. Third, many of the Palestinians today are the great grand sons of the jews who settled in the land. Some retained their jewish faith and others changed to christianity and islam. Fourth, it is crazy to accept that people can trace where their ancestors lived thousands of years ago, butcher the people who live their now including the elderly and children and then steel their land. Last, it is disgusting to take god as excuse to commit genocides against innocent people. The list goes on but I will settle with this much.
@Edward Valivonis
Nop , isreal was founded in 1947 , you can't change history mister
No surprise this happened. These zionazis see any Palestinan Christian, Muslim or even anti-zionist Jew as a threat for their illegal existence in East Jerusalem and illegitimate, immoral state in Palestine. May Shereen's and every Palestinian's soul rest in peace, and may Palestine be back to its indigenous Muslim, Christian and Jewish Palestinians.
#freepalestine 🇵🇸
Well said !
Glad channel 4 covered this. When our fascist government in Britain, privatises channel 4. I hope it still has it's great journalism. Probably not.. because our taxes are being used, to shut down journalism.
Sadly true !
I have a dream that Israel will be treated like any other nation in this world and not above the law as it is today.
This will send a strong message to all journalists.
Beating the pallbearers carrying a journalist murdered by the idf, didn’t think they could sink any lower.
Strange " rioters " , carrying a laden coffin .... being attacked , almost dropping it ....
The Israeli leaders explain what happened like if we are in 4th century, thanks God there is social media so we can see the truth, no need for ur dirty excuses
Not only did the occupation ended her life, but they also assaulted her at her funeral.
Rest in heavens Shareen. ❤️
Show what the occupiers really did. Honor for at least covering it.
There are so many apologists for apartheid Israel (as there was for South Africa) but certain moments will change the tide of public opinion to such a degree that even the vile scum who sanction these regimes must change tack or relinquish power. This savagery, this sub-human barbarity, at a Christian funeral of yet another innocent your "defense" forces murdered, this feels like the moment the world says "enough".
Free Palestine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So who's lovely idea was that? Police probably should have just stayed out of it. The people carrying the coffin were such a danger? Seems unnecessary and disrespectful. At least at the moment. This is just strange.
@SAM That does not make it false. It only spreads the Idea.
@VITO LAZLO Not true, but I’ve seen you copy and paste the same narrative over and over again, so I’m not surprised by your comment.
@VITO LAZLO Interesting. What a situation.
Her family!! The so called mourners, diverted the casket from the hurst and threated the driver. So the IDF had to get involved.
This entity had no shame nor shred of moral standing left.
Thanks you so much channel 4 for not calling them ‘clashes’. Seriously!
The Israeli occupiers killed her. They didn't want any media to report on their crimes.
Rest in peace, Shireen.
She was probably doing too good of a job exposing israeli war crimes. 🎥📷📹
🎯
Exactly
This is so disgraceful! Where is their humanity ?
They don't have any !
This make me really angry
You are not alone my friend, humanity starts to awake and see things as they are without sugar coating. It has to happen one day israhel can't disguise in lamb skin or as the weak self defending part for ever when being the occupier and apartheid power.
There is no tension or violate. This is an unjust occupation. No one is going to occupy a land with peace, therefore Palestinians will fight for their right and freedom.
No action against Israel from the EU, US or UK as expected.
Israel's greatest and most persistent enemy: stones.
This is so bad, damn let them mourn
She lived and died as a Hero.
#freepalestine .
I hope my sons will live to see an accountable Israel.
They will have to answer for alot.
I hope we’re still alive to witness it by ourselves soon...
I'm honestly lost for words!!
This is so heartbreaking .
Why kill her and then beat the people who are taking her to her final resting place 😢😢
How sure can you be that Israel killed her? the coroners, according to what I gather, refused to confirm the authorities' claim that the IDF shot the bullets.
We need JUSTICE FOR all who DIED behind ISRAELI FORCES gunfire and brutality💔
LIVELONG🙏💔
SHIREEN ABU AKLEH🙏
@Kenny Martin I bet you the Pals will not go to the ICC. I wish they would. They would be shown for who they are.
@darthvaper lol I really respect your determination 👏
I prefer wait the investigations instead of listening to you
@darthvaper the bullet still there some where you know???
Why are they allowed to be the most evil nation in the world without any others doing something about them?
@Jay Johnson Yes, that's it!
@Stephen Copping Yep...
Because America supports them , says it all !
@Portcullis Killing doesn't justify stop supporting the killer so you won't be a much worse monster
Even this christian girl didnt have any mercy from those Isrealies.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸💪🇵🇸✌
free Palestine end the isreali occupation
Peace for all of the world
There is no humanity from the Israeli's! God bless Palestine 🇵🇸 🙏
I’d truly love to see how the MSM covers this story. Jesus.
I don't think any mainstream media covers Jesus Christ 😆
ITS VERY CLEAR WHO KILLED HER......A FUNERAL AND THE SOLDIERS BEATING THE FAMILIES.....HMMMM INHUMAN, no justices
Free Palestinian 🇵🇸❤️
@darthvaper I agree with you this time, RIP Nizar banat, the PA is a Vici government same as what was in france in WW2, the israelis basically created a government that protects them using Palestinians who are willing to cooperate with them for the right price, or else they would be legally forced to have israeli security and officials in the Palestinian territories which would have been troublesome and expensive
From the PA
RIP Nizar Banat 🇵🇸
Very sad 😥😥😢
International law? What international law
Proving her point even in death
And if all was in Russia!! But is not. We live in a hypocrite world.
yup
Free Palestina greetings from Holland we love all ❤🥰
thank you channel 4 for showing this.
Thanks, Channel 4, for doing what you could to exonerate the killers. You certainly ducked an angry phone call from the embassy. Well done.
*RIP Shireen Abu Akleh ❤*
*Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 ✝️☪️*
Lets be real, if authorities commits crime there is no accountability. RIP
And you would think that for ppl who were persecuted would know best , they have become the aggressors. So shame on person who doesn't respect the dead. Let her rest in peace 🙏 🕊
There is no such thing as Israel. 🇵🇸
This planet is heading in a very dark direction ... We have completely forgot our principles
I’d like to see the man ,who has such skill as to throw stones while carrying a coffin…
When I see Palestine i understand why Germany did what it did . Germany saved itself from becoming a second Palestine . Good for them .
Tension!! Yes you get tension when you get police attacking a funeral.
I have some Arabic knowledge and I found strange that Al Arabiya provides... little coverage while the rest of Arab media channels do mention about her story.
@Khubza 89 You are right but shouldn't they have some respect?
Rivalry between al-Jazeera and Saudi Arabia (which runs Al-Arabiyya).
Looks like a scene from ANYTIME England fans travelled to other countries to watch their team. Foreign police would attack them for nothing...thereby escalating the tension!
... 💫"WE KNOW TOO WELL THAT OUR FREEDOM IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT THE FREEDOM OF PALESTINIANS" ... "NELSON MANDELA"
RIP Shireen Abu Akleh ❤ Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 ✝️☪️
We want Justice.
