LAST WEEK marked two months since the killing of the Palestinian-US journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin refugee camp as she, together with colleagues, were covering a raid on a Palestinian house by the Israeli occupation forces.
For once, the killing of a Palestinian by an Israeli soldier in the West Bank — a territory occupied by Israel since 1967 — drew media attention, possibly because she was also a US citizen.
We also witnessed the horrifying scenes at Shireen’s funeral cortege where the Israeli police attacked mourners, including the pall bearers, almost causing her coffin to drop.
