Shireen Abu Akleh: the silencing of Palestine reporting and resistance
As the world continues to mourn the killing of veteran Palestinian journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh, thousands of Australians turned out in almost every capital city on Sunday to mourn her loss, and to commemorate the ongoing Nakba (catastrophe).
As part of this response, Palestinian-Australian author, Randa Abdel-Fattah, argues despite global condemnation, governments are maintaining their efforts to restrict and silence criticism of Israel.
Catholic leaders condemn Israeli police hospital raid
In the aftermath of Israeli police attacks against pallbearers and other mourners at Shireen Abu Akleh’s funeral, the Catholic Church has condemned the actions, and released footage showing the brutal raid and assault of the hospital where the victim’s body was kept.
“The police stormed into a Christian health institute, disrespecting the church, disrespecting the health institute, disrespecting the memory of the deceased, and forcing the pallbearers almost to drop the coffin.”
Bennett responded with gaslighting, not compassion
Jewish author, Elena Sztokman, has criticised the Israeli Prime Minister for his “tone-deaf” response to the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, and argues his words amount to gaslighting.
“But while Palestinians dealt with their grief, anger, and fear, Israeli leadership reacted as if they are living in an alternate universe. PM Naftali Bennett’s first statement was that the Palestinians probably killed her. There was no remorse, no sadness, no acknowledgement of the pain. Just an immediate, knee jerk version of ‘They’re lying’ and ‘They did it to themselves.’”
