Israeli police beat mourners at journalist’s funeral
Associated Press ^ | May 13, 2022 | JOSEPH KRAUSS

Posted on 05/13/2022 8:34:16 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

Israeli police on Friday moved in on a crowd of mourners at the funeral of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, beating demonstrators with batons and causing pallbearers to briefly drop the casket.

The crackdown came during a rare show of Palestinian nationalism in east Jerusalem — the part of the holy city that Israel captured in 1967 and that the Palestinians claim as their capital.

Israel says east Jerusalem is part of its capital and has annexed the area in a move that is not internationally recognized. Israel routinely clamps down on any displays of support for Palestinian statehood.

"Journalists" are just so precious, and "Mourners" are just so Saintly, ...

According to the Associated Presstitutes.

There’s plenty of video showing the Israelis were the aggressors as the coffin of the Christian journalist was being carried to the Church.

Not to mention being the ones who shot her in the head in the first place.

From the article:

...

Police said the crowd at the hospital was chanting “nationalist incitement,” ignored calls to stop and threw stones at police. “The policemen were forced to act,” police said.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military said its initial investigation into Abu Akleh’s death showed that a heavy firefight was underway in the West Bank town of Jenin around 200 meters (yards) from where she was killed, but that it was unable to determine whether she was shot by Israeli forces or Palestinian militants.

...

Headlines are meant to attract readership. They do not have to tell the whole story. You would think that the Israel police were just standing around and finally decided just to go beat some people. Kind of like in this country anti-police racists think that police officers wake up in the morning salivating over the potential of killing someone with black skin that day.

Let's be honest: it's not a good look to take batons to people while they're in the middle of *carrying the deceased*:

My purpose in posting this was to Demonize and Discredit the Associated Presstitutes, not to criticize reasonable responses to Palestinian Terrorism and it's supporters.

The hint was in my comment.

Yes, you can, and you can analyze and criticize Israel when they deserve it.

Interestingly, in posting this thread, my purpose was to Demonize and Discredit the Associated Presstitutes, not to criticize reasonable responses to Palestinian Terrorism and it's supporters.

The hint was in my comment, but I had to be somewhat opaque to provoke analysis of the Biased information, and whom was Biased.

Yeah, I also posted another AP "Article" immediately after this, regarding the Detention of WNBA’s Brittney Griner in Moscow, showing the Associated Presstitutes Political Bias in exactly the opposite direction, with a similar comment.

No one figured that out either.

You have a point, however it is a Propaganda Point.

The entire purpose of promoting the Victim Mentality is to Scantify a Group and Raise That Group Above Responsibility, Criticism, Transparency, Investigation and Accountability.

Thus is Propaganda, and the current state of US Culture.

That is the Associated Presstitute role here, they "inform" you as to whom the Saints are, and what actions are Saintly, and you listen and obey.

Or else.

‘End Times’ is about justifying ‘Greater Israel’...its a land grab, that’s all.

The lack of context is glaring.

The evidence is to the contrary, that she was shot by “Palestinians.” Those “Palestinians” are refusing to let Israelis examine the bullet, which implies that it’s *their* bullet and not an Israeli bullet.

You’re apparently unfamiliar with Pallywood Productions. Here’s some facts: the funeral procession deliberately defied Israeli orders not to proceed towards the neighboring Jewish neighborhoods. The hospital is literally within a hundred yards from Jewish neighborhoods and they headed that way instead of taking a route through the Arab neighborhoods that surround the hospital on all other directions. This was designed to provoke a confrontation to be captured on film for propaganda. Sadly, the Israeli security detail fell for it and I would say someone’s head should roll for not having adequate arrangements to blockade the area in a fashion that would have not required riot troops to move in with batons. It looks awful, but if you know the context, it is not the heinous act it appears to be.
