Rest in Peace Shereen. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🌹 🌹
May Allah grant mercy on her soul.. Poor shireen ❤️❤️😢😢
😢😭😭😭😭
Free Palestine
Puck Israel police 🖕🖕🖕💙💙💙🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴
I feel bad for the the woman who died for such biased and fake news channel she lost her life in vein.
It has not been proven which side was responsible. She was caught in a firefight, as many journalists, who have died doing their job during war.
Rest in Peace, Shireen.
6:00 Actually the zionists say that they will NOT investigate. They don’t consider a crime has occurred.
Why do they remove the flags of the country in their own land? Isn’t it violance?
mainstream media in usa doesnt really report on that.
karma dont forget
Propaganda al Jazeera
I feel sorry to the victim. But you know and everybody knew the double standard reporting of Al Jazeera news. Pointing one finger blaming Israel while 4 fingers are pointing at you. We really don’t know behind the scenes. all just insinuations to lit fire and hate the jews.
Israel is terrorist country
I’m personally going to wait on the forensics of the bullet before picking a side….you know….just in case it turns out the bullet is from Palestinian gunmen…..
Rest in Peace!
She was killed by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, there are videos of them firing all over the place that day as those terrorists often do.
They claimed to have hit a soldier exactly at the time she died, but no Israeli soldier was hurt that day. Why not hold terrorists accountable? Are you supporting a terror organization?
apartheid israeli regime
You are laying, Palestinian gunmen were all over the place, Islamic Jihad are known to have presence in that area, and it’s a fact they fired hundreds of bullets that day.
israeli army is comprised of thugs, looters and murderers
I stand with Israel, but this… this is so shocking. I stand with Israel but never with their atrocities.
Israel, please stand with Palestine.
Standing with isreal is like standing with the nazis no different
@Horner Farah Standing only to Palestine is like standing to a terrorist, no different because Gaza are even run by it.
They repeatedly read same line’ Hamas first fired rockets towards Israhell…and israhell retaliated in reply’ IDF dogs never fire a bullets towards civilian or journalist but the armed Palestine killed and fired….. the Palestinian boy try to kill with knife the IDf just in defence fired bullets
Whatever you get to kill these coward dogs just do that don’t bother of the consequences
YouTube censoring comments just like Putin.
🙏✌️🗽💔🌹🌼🌷🌸🇵🇸💔
So disheartening, Rest in power Shireen. Condolences to Al Jazeera Arabic and 👍 Sandy.
Israel is the aggressor it should be sanctioned like Russia!
Palestine definitely killed her
This is a cowardice and despicable act!! I’m on the side of Palestine on this one.
May the Great Spirit watch over you. 🙏

WE LOVE ISRAEL
*”Where is America’s human rights lectures now?”*
The lectures are in the universities. 😎👍🇺🇸 ✝️
israel is like so fked up and the fact that america supports them- bruh this world
Must be punished terrorist forces
This is a crime!
killed by israeli forces ? they were not the only ones shooting there . and as the palastinians refuse to have a joint investigation , i think they may have somthing to hide . or might just not earn anything finding out the actual truth.
yes why not , just blame israel . you will never have to prove it anyway .
oh wasn’t that what shireen did most her life ?
sad but funny .
This “Israel” that US governments unconditionally support; a Colonial Apartheid State. Nothing new unfortunately for anyone who has been observing long enough.
B
if you think this world has justice, I suggest u take a look at palestine
So they must kill a journalist to make u dickheads report about the abuses and discriminations going on there?
Isr4el must be smashed.
Do you have proof that she was killed by Israelis..????? .
One gets a feeling that with so much atrocities going unpunished, the underdogs in every such situation are not doing enough to retaliate
You can never ever get even with these autocratic forces through reason. Remember “Might is Right”
If Shireen is a muslim this story will evaporate even quickly…
l can’t remember if there was a single day in my life when these murderers didn’t kill.
and where is US who always feels like the champion of human rights
I donot give a fff
Thavakkalthu Alallahi Wala Haula Wala Quvatha illa billa!!!!May Allah Subuhanallahu Thaalah punish these European Jews and those who tigh knots with them and put an end to their atrocities through out the world, May Allah Subuhanallahu Thaalah bless our Palastenian brotheren with Victory against the European Jews!!!!Ameen Ya Daljalal Wal Ikram!!!!
Hear the word of the Lord my palestinian brothers the lost tribe of israel the sheep of the Lords pasture.
The word of the Lord came to me: 2“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? 3You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. 4You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally. 5So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals. 6My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.
7“ ‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because my flock lacks a shepherd and so has been plundered and has become food for all the wild animals, and because my shepherds did not search for my flock but cared for themselves rather than for my flock, 9therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.
11“ ‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 12As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. 13I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. 14I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. 16I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice.
17“ ‘As for you, my flock, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will judge between one sheep and another, and between rams and goats. 18Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? 19Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet?
20“ ‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says to them: See, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21Because you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak sheep with your horns until you have driven them away, 22I will save my flock, and they will no longer be plundered. I will judge between one sheep and another. 23I will place over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will tend them; he will tend them and be their shepherd. 24I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David will be prince among them. I the Lord have spoken.
25“ ‘I will make a covenant of peace with them and rid the land of savage beasts so that they may live in the wilderness and sleep in the forests in safety. 26I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing. a I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing. 27The trees will yield their fruit and the ground will yield its crops; the people will be secure in their land. They will know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them. 28They will no longer be plundered by the nations, nor will wild animals devour them. They will live in safety, and no one will make them afraid. 29I will provide for them a land renowned for its crops, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land or bear the scorn of the nations. 30Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them and that they, the Israelites, are my people, declares the Sovereign Lord. 31You are my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord.’ ”
It would be a bigger story in this very rasist world if her name would be Jane Meyer. Sad
I cried
wish that al jazeera cover other killings around the world that israel -doesnt – allegedly responsible to so thoroughly. look what happen around israel – syria ,egypt , lebanon , murdering their own people in unproportional rate comparing to israel.
Israel is a terrorist country.
So we can expect the Palestinians to hand over the bullet in question and cooperate on an investigation then? kinda hard to do a full investigation when the woman has been buried before a full autopsy.
Palestinians BURIED THE EVIDENCE.
Oh lady, I was waiting for your episode about Shereen’s death.
RIP
Legend
Salute
🇵🇰❤️🇬🇧
Rest in Peace Shireen Abu Akleh…..your spirit will remain among those fight for better world better humanity…
Horrible humans, wtf is wrong with us?
Israel is clearly behaving as terrorists here.
She died by the Palestinians you liars!
Nobody can prosecute Israel! Journalists will be killed whenever required. Even UN observation outposts bombed in Lebanon with 4 UN staff killed. American activist teenager Rachel Corrie killed by IDF bulldozer. Etc etc. Israel is the only state above law. US, UK, UN etc become subsidiaries of Zionism. End of story,
It’s sickened me that this Zionis with the backup of the US canget away with everything they did or do to the opress Palestinian. US hands seems to be tied when Israel come to the picture. One of this day, the Palestinian will raised up and lay waste to Israel and Zionis. Maybe all the Palestinian will be dead but at least they got they vangeance for all the Palestinian who was killed by the Zionis and being treated like animal for almost a 100 years.
Disclaimer… i am partial to Israel, i really do love the Jewish people (not the state) but the people but this really disheartens me… why are you always triggered, like people can’t even bury their dead? I’m the last person who would stand for most angry Palestinians but unfortunately this is wrong….
This is outstanding journalism everyone needs to see this
So deeply sad and unnecessary, this tragic killing of Al Jazeera Palestinian-American journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh.
Another one sided reporting. Huh!
One sided how?
Open Your Eyes World!! Open Your Eyes People!!
Shireen was an christian and American, she stands for Palestine even she is minority. its time to wake up
Israel are invaders, they muderer, they attack refuge camp.
We must Help Palestina, No more journalist like her need to be dead, no more fake news about palestina need to be spread
Rest In Peace Shireen Abu Akleh We Always Remember you
The rest of the world should voice its outrage over the government of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, in the same way it showed outrage over the killing of George Floyd, and Putin’s war on Ukraine.
Americans are giving oxygen to the israeli gangsters.American billions every year given to israel strengthens these oafs.
Sad amen from India.
This is a genocide against the Palestinians financed by the US and fully supported by Joe Biden and Tony Blinken.
This terrorist country was using all mean of intimidation against oppressed people while whole west watching about commenting Russia, Syria etc or some other nation. World never goes without seeing this injustice. One day or another this criminal will be punished
Thn why there s hsnt a fair investagition? I m sure isreal are not tht simple shooting people.
Inna Lillah Hi Wa inna ilahi rajioun. May Allah reward her
with tyres and batteries they can drive out the settlers: ask south africa: they used it against apartheid in rsa: you can use it against apartheid in israel !!!!
Qatar funded propaganda network talking about due process just makes me laugh
may she rest in peace …shame on Israel
But who were attack corpse of Shereen Abu Aqla , here’s no need joint investigation
Sad sad sad
There is no World Community or United nations, its Westerns Vs Human beings
FAKE NEWS!!!!!
TRUMP WILL DEAL WITH YOU WHEN HE COMES. THEN THE MOST HIGH WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED!!
Their target aren’t only Muslim but also the entire Palestinians
She worked beyond the call of duty more than a couple of decade, she is the true epitome of what journalist is! providing real time reports to the world from the middle red line zone of two state conflict, an evident love of country from Shireen acts of reporting. her killer deserve the world condemnation. Ms. Shireen Outlook Supersede an OutRight Recipient of Nobel Peace Prize.
i hate to be the one who might be hated…but i think this could have become another intifada and right now, isn’t the time for an intifada. there is a lot of work to do more than just this…but only God know. it looks like they wanted the event to just disperse and end…it didn’t seem like an event to cause injury or make arrests.
As long as Israel has the backing of Uncle Sam, they’ll keep feeling on top of the World
Those who killed Jesus do not feel sorry for women, children and innocent people.
The reason as to why her murder was even taken notice of in the US at some level is neither because freedom of speech is supposedly under threat in a so-called democratic Israel nor cuz she was a brave vocal journalist that was probably shot dead while doing her job while covering crimes committed by Israel as usual but cuz she was probably an AMERICAN CHRISTIAN palestinian!
Before smartphones and the Internet, they were shown on wooden TV screens, broadcasting news. Shireen, twenty-five years of service in the press, has been sleeping in hospitals and villages to report on the events. The journalist must be protected in order for the truth to continue. Sherine,Jamal Khashoggi ,Assange🌹🌹🌹
Please do me a favour. Send this clip to White House directly and make sure it reaches to US president working desk just to see moral dignity of US president in the matter and they will address it. There is raising anti- American double standards. EU alone can’t save US. When your children make trouble in school, you as parents receive letters from school detailing your son’s aggression and you should take necessary steps to control your son’s behaviour.
I love the way they shout, if u feel u cannot withstand the get out of kitchen.
