- Shireen Abu Akleh’s coffin was almost dropped to the floor amid scuffles between Israeli police and Palestinian mourners ahead of the journalist’s funeral.
Many waved Palestinian flags and chanted as they crowded around the casket at the start of the procession from St. Joseph’s Hospital in east Jerusalem.
In footage obtained by Reuters, police can be seen charging the crowd back towards a building as stun grenades are fired, leading to Abu Akleh’s coffin being upended before pallbearers manage to raise it back onto their shoulders.

“Police had to intervene when the coffin fell”?..
Is this serious?
The coffin fell because the police were beating the shit out of the people carrying it.
Absolutely disgusting act. Absolutely disgusting reporting.
Yeah. What the duck. They should actually show the attack itself.
they wont admit that. Allah knows
Scuffles??? They’re literally beating up people who are only mourning! Get your facts straight
Christians and Muslims in Jerusalem must be protected
@Adi Prastyo pakistan,afganistan,bangladesh,????
@SHIVAJI RAJE Indonesia is muslim mayority and hindu very save,..🙏✨

until their majority
"Israeli police had to intervene when the coffin was dropped.." really?
what an example of journalism, truly "Independent" indeed 🤮
THIS IS A NEW LEVEL OF DISRESPECT FOR PALESTINIAN LIFE AND DEATH BY THE OCCUPIERS THIS CASE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF INTERNATIONAL COURT AS THIS IS A WAR CRIME 1.They murdered her while she's in her press gear 2. They attacked the church where her funeral was being held 3.They smashed the windows of the car transporting her coffin 4.They attacked mourners carrying her coffin until they dropped it. 5.they raided her house shortly after she was killed. Christians and Muslims in Jerusalem must be protected
Do Palestinians have respect that they have lost
Disgusting and dispicable but that's what I expect from an occupying force. This from people who have suffered so much, it is incomprehensible.
This is despicable let them bury their dead, disgusting.
Good to learn that The Independent is a spokesperson for the Israeli government.
The only intervening police did was the hit the people carrying the coffin. What a disgraceful bit of reporting
Christian Palestinians, Muslims Palestinians and Jewish Palestinians will never give up until Palestine is free.
*RIP Shireen Abu Akleh ❤*
*Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 ✝️☪️*
The title is not matching with video nor what happened in reality when occupation armored troops attacked the coffin carrying mourners and almost dropped the coffin on the ground outside the hospitals. check Aljazira news they are more independent and accurate journalism than the dependent "independent"😂
Lair
This was a disgrace as her killing. Execution of a member of the press is a low act. International condemnation of this should be loud. A desire to respect the human rights of the people of Palestine cannot be silenced or misappropriated as Anti Semitism. Brothers and Sisters our religions may differ, our wealth and strength may be imbalanced, but we are all on this earth for such a short time, and every person has a right to life and liberty.
Did Independent say that Israeli police intervene when the coffin was dropped ?!! Really, shireen was your coworker a journalist. I’m just done of this world
Why don't you show the full report🤬, I won't see your news anymore independent 😈😈. There is a clip of the attack on the dead
We want an independent investigation! We want justice for Palestine! Justice for shireen! Or we want the same treatment as the Ukraine get! Or russia should do the investigation in bucha!!
حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل
Eres un ídolo PORNTINDER.Uno siempre en mi corazón,hermosa,amord,elecciones,culturales.❤️ Son unos de los mejores conciertos.
The independent seems to be less independent to show the real story! Shame!
Ha? “Israeli police had to intervene when the coffin dropped”??? Don’t you dare showing when Israel forces attacked pallbearers until the coffin was going to fall??? Shame
There seems to be an issue with your sub title commentary. It does not seem to reflect reality
U can find it on twitter
I have lost all respect for this company (the independent),what shoddy reporting!
Wrong. The police fired a shot which startled the pallbearers. The coffin nearly touched the ground, but a man rushed in to prevent that.
@Astorrian I think people around the world are waking up to the brutality inflicted on Palestinians after watching this footage.
@AJ Watch the footage here: thexvid.com/video/mBnBib9eO34/video.html
Police didn't fire a shot. They beat pallbearers who then almost dropped the coffin. You can see the footage clearly on aljazeera.

#freepalestine
An eye witness testifies:
"A throng came from all sides of the coffin and started to brutally seize the corpse, punching air and attempting to brutally smash the corpse from all directions. A voice from above called, "Her grave will be filled with hot lava from hell which will painfully burn her. Snakes and scorpions will keep biting her until she is thrown into her permanent eternal residence of hell. Congratulations on your victory and try your level best."
Is this something we believe in? Such horrific timeless torture? Astonishing!
this people are ruthless cowards inhumane hearthless something needs to be done abusers bullys
How the world got together to challenge the killing of Charlie Hebdo and now see the their reaction whit Shireen. Hypocrisy at its finest.
For real can you guys be more out of the loop show us the moment where they pulled out their batons and began brutally beating the Paul bearers. Leave our Christians alone Israel.
this video didn't show the Israeli brutality.
West support them and this people don’t Evan like Christian reporter death .
God bless her .
She is shaheed
God give her paradise .
But it does like they used the funeral/coffin as an excuse to enter a Catholic area with Palestinian flags, of course police won't tolerate such provocation
🤔When I saw how the Zionists treated the coffin of the Christian journalist "Shirin Abu Akleh", I understood what the Jews did to Jesus.🤦♂️
These two sides have been at each other for the part 20 years , and nothing has changed, same headlines etc but humanity prays for peace and not violence 👍
Tell me how you’d you feel and act when your land is stolen and your people getting killed for 75 yrlesrs
I am sure you would do far worse if your land was stolen and denied freedom through a religious text that you didn't believe in.
The state of Israel is aparthied (Amnesty International)
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Palestinians' bravery and sacrifices will force the occupier to a 2-states solution
The Independent, what a total disappointment. Luckily people dont rely on you for unbiased reporting.
Boycott all j**i*h business.
I'm unsubscribing. The Independent is not independent anymore.
independent?
Isn't religion beautiful? Killed because of a religious dispute. Funeral disgraced for the same reason.
Has every religious hypocrite lost all their humanity together with their minds?!
Ese atuendo me vuelve loco CUMPUSSYY.Uno loco contigo y tienes ese cuerpo curvilíneo, hiciste un buen trabajo modelándolo también. También me gusta el último atuendo. Me encantah cómo los cinturones de liga se.
Russians and Israelis .....both the same
This is her karma...... Killed by Palestinians......whom she supported with false reports on Israel....
Dismantle Israeli apartheid.
Is this in Africa?
This is in Palestine. Reporter was shot dead by the Israeli sniper. And Israeli army denied peaceful funeral service
