Israeli forces murder Palestinians & Americans with impunity; David Brog runs for Congress in order to advance Israeli interests; Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff cover for Israel; US lied about Soleimani…
Israel continues its time-honored strategy of manipulating the mainstream U.S. media — this time muddying the coverage of the assassination of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Since 2000, 50 Palestinian journalists have been killed, and the world doesn’t know the names of any of them.

We were not caught up in crossfire with Palestinian fighters like the Israeli army claimed… The funeral procession arrived at the small monastery in the city, and the church bells began ringing for Shireen, who is from a Christian family from Bethlehem.

Dozens of Israeli settlers swooped down in an act of violence on a Palestinian family tending its olive grove – throwing stones and beating them. Three Palestinians were wounded; the eldest remains hospitalized. When the family filed a complaint, they were interrogated for allegedly throwing rocks.
The Associated Press shows yet again its affinity for whitewashing Israel’s crimes: this time, downplaying the death of a toddler at the whims of Israel’s harsh permit system.

Israeli forces invaded the Al-Aqsa mosque compound during Friday dawn worship, injuring and arresting hundreds of Palestinians, and causing damage inside the Muslim holy place.
Israeli forces, heavily armed and not in any immediate danger, continue to invade Palestinian neighborhoods and fire live rounds, killing at least three Palestinians on Wednesday.

For Israeli soldiers armed to the teeth, “looking suspicious” can be reason enough to shoot a Palestinian dead.
