Updated report to say Abu Akleh likely killed by errant IDF gunfire


An updated United States report is expected to support findings that American-Palestinian reporter Shireen Abu Akleh was likely killed by accidental IDF gunfire, US State Department Deputy spokesman Vedant Patel said on freedom press day on Wednesday.

“IDF gunfire was likely the reason” for Abu Akleh’s death, Patel said noting that it was “unintentional” and due to “incredibly tragic circumstances.”

He spoke after Democratic Senator Chis Van Hollen of Maryland pushed for the release of an undated report by US Security Coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority (USSC) who investigated the circumstance of her death on May 11 while covering a firefight between Palestinian gunmen and the IDF.

Of course if one thinks that Israeli Jews are monsters like Amy Goodman and company, no amount of evidence will change their minds. That's how bigotry works, it's not rational.
