This is what Western Democracies support. A brutal Settler Colonial project known as Israel. Assassinated a journalist then attacking her coffin. #ShireenAbuAqla
They shot Shereen in the head as she reported and blamed Palestinians for her murder minutes later, the next day they raided her home and assaulted her mourning family, the next day they beat and attacked those carrying her body. A truly sickening colony
The #IsraeliOccupation threatens to disrupt #ShireenAbuAkleh’s funeral should the mourners display Palestinian flags & posters or chant nationalistic slogans. The insecurity of the oppressor is exposed: fear of our symbols, fear of our grief & anger, fear of our very existence!
On Wednesday, Israeli occupation forces killed Shireen Abu Aqleh.
Then, Israeli forces raided her family home to take down a Palestinian flag.
Today, Israeli forces have attacked mourners at her funeral in Jerusalem.
قوات مدججة بالسلاح تحارب وتقمع وتضرب من أجل "علم و جثمان"!
صبرا صبرا إن الفجر آت لا محالة .. عاشت فلسطين العز والكرامة بعلمها بأحرارها بدماء شهداءها ..#شرين_ابو_عاقلة
Aerial view of Shireen Abu Akleh’s funeral procession in occupied Jerusalem. What a sight. Truly at a loss for words. Despite the full force of the Israeli police, they could not suppress or deter the people. Palestine bids farewell to a hero & icon 🕊 🇵🇸
