Israelsk journalist Meron Rapaport om IDF angrep på journalister i Gaza:
"Israel used to lie about killing journalists; now it barely bothers to do so. What happened?"
The ‘most moral army in the world’ has killed at least 248 journalists in Gaza, seemingly without any shame

Peter Beaumont i The Guardian, se Kilde:
After 15 Palestinian medics and civil defence workers were killed by Israeli forces late last month, Israel began a familiar pattern of denial
Det gjentar seg seg, skriver Beaumont, og minner om:
The killing of the celebrated Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who worked for Al Jazeera, while covering a protest on the West Bank in 2022, saw a similar shifting of explanations.
Han tar med uttalelsen til Tysklands talsmann i UD der:
“An investigation and accountability of the perpetrators are urgently needed,” he said, adding that a full investigation of the incident would be “a question that ultimately affects the credibility of the Israeli constitutional state”.
Beaumont avslutter slik:
" A few days ago, a video was aired showing a battalion commander talking to his soldiers on the eve of their return to the enclave.
‘“ you encounter there is an enemy. You identify anyone, you eliminate him.’”

Artikkelen i WaPo er særdeles grundig.Og IDF blir avkledd.
Her har man faktisk en sak som minner Abu Akleh: IDF går etter journalister.

Den ameikanske senator Chris van Hollen er intervjuet i Haaretz 8. desember 2022:
The Senator Pushing Action on Abu Akleh Case Has a Message for Netanyahu's Allies
Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen is leading congressional efforts calling for accountability over the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. He explains why it matters and warns of tensions between Washington and Jerusalem once Netanyahu's far-right allies take power
Utdrag, der van Hollen uttaler seg om de nye ministrene Ben-Gvir og Smotrich:
“These are avowed racists who have been very involved in inciting violence against Palestinians,” Van Hollen says. “We often say that one of the important things that unite the people of the United States and the people of Israel is shared values. You now have individuals in this Israeli government who clearly do not share values of racial, ethnic and religious tolerance in any way."
Klartale fra van Hollen:
- Han vil ha klarhet i Abu Akleh-saken
- Han er klar mht hva som er "delte verdier" landene imellom
Tydelighet fra politikerne er ønskelig i denne konflikten.
Chris van Gollen viser han står for.

HELE artikkelen i Haaretz 9. juli 2022:
U.S. President Joe Biden’s visits to Saudi Arabia and Israel this week
will be overshadowed by the absence of two journalists unable to cover
the events: Jamal Khashoggi and Shireen Abu Akleh. The two were killed
under completely different circumstances, but ahead of the presidential
visit, they have become, jointly, a symbol of the lack of international
consequences for attacking the press and journalists.
“At a time when attacks on press freedom are at an all-time high, your
visit will… send a message to autocrats all over the world that they can
imprison, torture or even murder journalists with no repercussions,”
Hatic Cengiz, Khashoggi’s fiancee, wrote to Biden in an open letter in
the Washington Post. Abu Akleh’s family also sent a letter to Biden, in
which they asked to meet with him during his visit. The family, the
letter said, feels “a sense of betrayal concerning your administration’s
abject response to the extrajudicial killing of our sister and aunt by
Israeli forces.”
In the Saudi case, most Israelis can understand why Khashoggi became a
symbol (ignoring the claims of involvement by the Israeli company NSO in
the murder). Most Israelis would be infuriated at any attempt to equate
his case with that of Abu Akleh.
But although the cases are completely different, there is one fact that
is hard to argue with: Despite the extensive findings, of the Americans
as well, by which it is “most likely” that the military was indeed
responsible for shooting Abu Akleh, Israel so far has not accepted any
real responsibility. No one has been interrogated, no one has been
punished and no clear lessons have been drawn for the future. In this
sense, Israel has single-handedly turned Abu Akleh into a symbol by its
continued insistence on abdicating responsibility for the affair.
There is hardly a report in the American coverage of Biden’s trip to
Saudi Arabia that does not mention his election promise to make the
kingdom a “pariah” following the Khashoggi’s murder.
Articles are also proliferating that connect Abu Akleh’s killing to a
test of protection of freedom of the press, which Biden will face on his
trip. These reports insist on noting that the context of the American
change of policy toward Saudi Arabia is the fuel crisis in the United
States. Put another way, there is clear tension between the
democratic-liberal values in the name of which Biden ran for president,
and on which the United States’ self-image is largely based, and
national, as well as personal interests, that now oblige him to solve
the energy crisis.
Israel’s part in these analyses on the tension between values and
foreign relations is absent in ways far beyond the Abu Akleh affair. For
example, the United States is marketing Biden’s trip as if it is
intended to promote normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Advancing peace in the Middle East
sounds like a better, more liberal democratic reason to traffic in
principles like freedom of the press. But is this really the reason for
the visit? There is no doubt that gas prices trouble the United States
much more than Israeli-Saudi relations. Secondly, all parties
acknowledge that there will be no festive peace agreement but rather
public revelation of high-tech security cooperation, which already
exists behind the scenes.
And although they make fewer headlines – partly because of censorship
restrictions – these high-tech security agreements, such as the alleged
Saudi purchase of Israeli capabilities like Pegasus – have a critical
role in the breach of liberal values. And so it is not exactly a warm
peace in exchange for diverting attention from attacks on the press. And
just a reminder, this whole show is just to fight Russia in the name of
these values. It would have been far better for them to admit that this
is the true price of gasoline.
I en avisartikkle i Haaretz 6. mars 2020 skryter IDF-skarpskyttere (anonymt) over hvor mange knær de har skamskutt:
Artikkelen har tittel:
" '42 Knees in One Day': Israeli Snipers Open Up About Shooting Gaza Protesters"
Om dette har 972.mag en vurdering 25. november 2020:
"Gaza’s Great Return March: 234 killed, 17 investigations, one indictment"Utdrag fra artikkel i 972.mag:
"After the Supreme Court Praised the Open-Fire Policy, the Military Admits: We killed Protestors for No Reason"
"Israel’s unlawful open-fire policy during the demonstrations along the
Gaza perimeter fence – which were upheld by the Supreme Court – have so
far resulted in hundreds of Palestinian deaths and thousands of
injuries. Official sources now admit that they were well aware that
people were being killed when even the State did not claim that this is
justified. Despite this, no-one has taken action to amend the open-fire
regulations. Instead, the military continued with its trial-and-error
approach."
The military has now decided to change the open-fire regulations for
snipers “after it emerged that firing at the lower limbs above the knee
led, in most cases, to death, despite the fact that this was not the
objective. Going forward, soldiers have been briefed to shoot below the
knee and then at the ankle.” A senior officer at the military’s
Counter-Terrorism School stated that
the snipers’ objective “is not to kill but to injure, and accordingly
one of the lessons learned related to the direction toward which they
fire… At first, we told them to shoot at the leg. We saw that this can
result in fatalities, so we told them to shoot below the knee, then we
fine-tuned the regulations to shooting at the ankle.”
..............................
Man blir minnet om denne saken ved drapet på Shireen Abu Akleh.
IDFs skarpskyttere har uansett IDFs rygg.
Og USA bryr seg lite.
Det viser håndteringen av undersøkelsen av drapet på Abu Akleh, selv om hun var amerikansk statsborger.

https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-israel-s-police-are-storm-troopers-1.10799650?lts=1652601931453
HELE artikkelen i Haaretz:
No Israeli should have slept well on Friday night. Our police are storm
troopers. Palestinians have long known this, but Israelis now have to
understand this as well: Israel’s police have shed all restraints.
The blue-uniformed policemen and the green-uniformed Border Policemen
have become storm troopers in the deepest and most loaded sense of this
term; there is no other way of describing them. In a country that has a
police force like this, every citizen should be concerned, even very
frightened. It’s long been an issue that is not just for Palestinians to
worry about; they have become inured to it and bear scars from it; now
Israelis should be filled with anxiety too.
Anyone behaving with such barbarity at the funeral of a popular heroine of this land will behave in the same manner under other circumstances as well. Two days ago at a Palestinian funeral, tomorrow at demonstrations or polling booths in Israel.
It’s true that what drives police storm troopers is imperiousness, racism and the sense that Arabs are not human beings. But this trot down a slippery slope cannot be stopped. When there are no boundaries or anyone putting a stop to it – and there are none – everything will be breached much faster than one imagines. Ethiopians, the ultra-Orthodox and peace activists have already tasted some of this; it will soon spread to clubs, concerts and the home of everyone.
The Israel Police have a minister in charge, but all Public Security Minister Omer Bar-Lev had to say on the weekend was reprimand Joint List MK Ofer Cassif for an unnecessary blow he delivered to a policeman blocking his way, accompanied by some rude comments as well. If this is a minister for public security and this is his party, the Labor Party, we’re better off having Kahanist lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir fill the role. It couldn’t get much worse, and Ben-Gvir will at least evoke some objections. On Friday night, the so-called government of change, incompetent and indifferent, evoked a yearning for its predecessor.
It couldn’t get much worse than the brutal clubbing of people carrying a coffin in which a revered journalist is lying, in the course of a national event. The fact that policemen did this in view of the world’s cameras only illustrates to what extent this is the only language they know, of which they’re not even ashamed. Forget for a moment these police thugs, who are heroes when confronting the weak in their hour of mourning. But what about their commanders? After all, senior officers participated in this revolting club-fest as well. No, this was not an “image disaster,” as some sanctimonious people claimed, it was a mega-disaster, a moral and political one. With such a police force in our capital, we don’t have a democracy.
They shouldn’t have been there in the first place. The minister should
have instructed them to that effect, and the commissioner should have
executed the order. But Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai has returned to
being a commander of the Border Police, the sick and violent occupation
force, allowing his policemen to strike out as wildly as they saw fit.
They came there already with reinforcements, precisely so they could do
what they did. Why are reinforcements needed at a funeral? Why have the
police there anyway? Bar-Lev should have stopped it in advance, or at
least stopped it as it was unfolding. But Bar-Lev is absent and the
commissioner opted for this.
Nothing would have happened had the Palestinians been allowed to mourn their heroine in their city, as free people, even if only for a moment. She was someone the IDF had apparently killed, as they’ve killed other journalists in the past. Is there any point in noting that no Israeli journalist was ever killed by Palestinians in the occupied territories?
After this disgraceful funeral, it’s no longer important who shot
Shireen. You may have killed her? The least you could do is let her
people accompany her on her last journey. But no. As noted by MSNBC
correspondent Ayman Mohyeldin, Israel not only doesn’t allow
Palestinians to live as Palestinians, it also doesn’t allow them to die
as Palestinians. Actually, it doesn’t allow them to die as human beings.
It snatches and barters their corpses, and now its policemen knock down
coffins from the shoulders of people carrying them. You couldn’t get a
more morbid snuff act.
Storm troopers is a derogatory term for cruel occupier forces. This
makes Israel’s police force storm troopers. Coming soon to your
neighborhood.
